Here's another example of how times changed since Peanuts began. We haven't had a draft in the U.S. since Vietnam. (Mind, there was no draft going on at the time this strip saw publication, either.)
Note: Vooodooo84 notes in comments that there was a draft at that time, for the Korean War. My mistake.
There actually was a draft going on at this time, the Korean War occured between 1950 and 1953. During that time over 1.5 million men were drafted.
