The correct statement is: "All men aged 18 to 25 had to register for the draft."
Clarification:
- Men were required to register with the Selective Service (registration generally covered ages late teens through mid‑20s; historically the window was 18–26).
- It was not true that no one could be forced to serve — the draft could and did conscript men.
- College students could be drafted (many had deferments for a time, but students were not exempt).
- It is false that very few people were drafted during the Vietnam War — large numbers were drafted throughout the conflict.
