Approximately 3,403,000 servicemen served thru-out Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. Of those men, approximately 2,594,000 served "In Country" (Vietnam itself). If you want too, add to this figure the number of US Military personnel (Army, Air Force, Marines, and the Coast Guard) stationed in the US, Europe, and South Korea (a portion of those servicemen were drafted also). Total them up. Then total up the TOTAL number of "Today's ALL-VOLUNTEER military", which should give you a general number for volunteers. Now, grant it, today's military (Army, Navy, Marines, etc.) is smaller than the cold war days, so it won't be a 100% answer...however it will give you an idea. To continue: Subtract the "Today's total number of All-volunteer military personnel" FROM the total number of Servicemen world wide during the Vietnam days. The difference will give you the estimated number of draftees (conscripts). (adjusted to the size of today's military, verses the cold war size military back then).

About 700,000 or about 30 percent of those who served in Vietnam were drafted.

This of course does not jive with the misconception that the Vietnam war was fought by draftees.
