Mass55th is right.

There was a draft prior, during and just after Vietnam, however there were only four so-called Vietnam Lotteries. Cheney would not have even come close to the first one, let alone the next three, of being considered.

I don't remember where my brother stood in the draft. It was never even mentioned that I recall. He enlisted, but only after some perseverance on his part. His vision wasn't good enough initially. He ended up having to get a note from a civilian eye doctor attesting that his vision in the one eye was good enough for his to go.
