The correct answer is A) Some people believed that the draft targeted poorer citizens.

The other options of the question were B) Both men and women were drafted to serve in the war. C) President Johnson was opposed to the draft. D) US leaders believed that the draft slowed the war effort.

One reason the draft was unpopular was that some people believed that the draft targeted poorer citizens.

Women were not drafted to go to the Vietnam War, some of them went voluntarily.

On July 28, 1965, President Lyndon B. Jhonson made a  difficult announcement. He ordered to increase the number of drafted men to send them to Vietnam. The US troops already had approximately 75,00o soldiers in the region but President Jhonson wanted to complete the number to 125,000. Many citizens considered that basically, the draft targeted poorer citizens.
