Ah, you again! No, a drafted Marine is not the same as a volunteer: they never get over the fact that they were shanghaied into the Corps and often don’t blend well with the men enlisted voluntarily. We who volunteered couldn’t complain because when we did, our leaders would just say “you asked for it”. Draftees never had that to fall back on.

Yes men are interchangeable, better a drafted 18 year old Marine who grows up in basic than a teen girl being hired in his place, a girl who will never be a man.

Few Americans are even aware that the Marine Corps drafts for major wars, just as they aren’t aware that the WWII military was mostly draftees.
