On this day in 1940, the Burke-Wadsworth Act is passed by Congress by wide margins in both houses and the first peacetime draft in the history of the United States is imposed. The registration of men between the ages of 21 and 36 began exactly one month later. There were some 20 million eligible young men-50 percent were rejected the very first year, either for health reasons or illiteracy. By war’s end, approximately 34 million men had registered, and 10 million served with the military.
