Curated by: The Cold War (341 videos)
Our historical documentary series on the history of the Cold War continues with a look at the end of the military draft in the United States including how it didn't really end thanks to the continuation of the Select Service system. We also look at the debate that erupted over the inequalities of Select Service and what it says about American societal norms.
