=Building the Military:= =  President Wilson beleived a draft, forced military service, was necessary but many people thought it was a violation of there rights. He created a system called selective service. It required all men between the ages of 21 and 30 to register for the war. Randomly men were picked in an order to go before a local draft board. This board was in charge of choosing who went and who did not enter the war. There were thousands of these draft board across the United States. They were run by normal people in hope that they knew who would be the best for the war. These draft boards and what made the selective service keep running and they ended up sending more then 2.8 million men into war. =
