Oh, by the way, we had 12 million men under arms in WW II. Do you really believe that they were ALL volunteers? Ask your WW II veteran buddies for their DD 214's- I am willing to bet that the majority will have "US" service numbers (draftees).

Ranger,

Calm down...if you noticed I said at the end of my initial response that I was aware the numbers substantiated your claims. In fact, I know the exact numbers. Roughly 52 percent of all World War II veterans were draftees, while roughly 25 percent of all Vietnam veterans were draftees. There were fewer than 12,000 draftees killed in the Vietnam War...I'm well aware of the real numbers.
