question 9 of 10
what was an argument made against the military draft during the vietnam war?

a. it continued the practice of segregation.

b. it forced conscientious objectors to fight.

c. it kept african americans from serving.

d. it had an unfair impact on poorer citizens.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The military was desegregated by then, so this is incorrect.
• Option B: Conscientious objectors had legal provisions to avoid fighting, so this is wrong.
• Option C: African Americans were drafted and served, so this is false.
• Option D: The draft had deferments (like college deferments) that were more accessible to wealthier people, so poorer citizens were more likely to be drafted. This was a valid argument against the draft.

Answer:

D. It had an unfair impact on poorer citizens.
