Episode 99: The Daddy Draft

from World War II Chronicles · host Radio America

Selective Service, or "The Draft" as it became known, registered men age 18-37. By September 1943, in order to meet the needs of the Armed Forces, the U.S. was in danger of having to draft men over 40. The shortage was a result of reluctance to draft fathers. Congress instituted the "Daddy Draft" in October of 1943.
