The ones who were drafted back in the day and stayed in past their first enlistment. Did you know at the beginning of that war we were getting ready to draft doctors, nurses and other medical specialists and were called off at the last minute? They didn’t go to the newspapers with it, so very few people heard about it. We already had lists to draw from. They’ll bring it back some day, it’s inevitable.

Zero. Some may have been drafted at the beginning of their career, but but after their obligation ended and they reenlisted voluntarily they were no longer draftees. Within a few years there will no longer be any person serving that started out as a draftee. As it is, anyone still serving that started out as a draftee would be in the Guard or Reserves.
