Too bad, because it's the right one.
The draft deferment rules during Vietnam encouraged those who were opposed to the war to go into academia.
The universities swelled with thousands of humanities graduate students who hated America and the military.

Cute sound bite, but academia is about giving self-important individuals tenured positions which pay them a decent salary while requiring them to work maybe 15 hours a week.
In my four years of college at a "prestigious" institution in the Midwest, out of the dozens of faculty members I dealt with only two gave a tinker's damn about their students and they both became full professors before the Vietnam War.
What a cop-out. No wonder our schools are going down the tubes and our kids are being dumbed down. You are part of the problem.
