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).

Can you be drafted into the marine core?
I am pretty sure you can't be drafted, unless the country is in some major war like WWII and there are no reserves left. During WWII and the Vietnam War men were drafted into the Marine Corps as well as the Army so - yes - some registered with Selective Serviece CAN be drafted into the Marine Corps. As a practical matter, it has only happened during "major war" such as that alluded to by the first person who answered this question. If my sources are correct, most of the Marines during WWII were drafte, 16,000 men were drafted into the Marines during the Korean War and 42,633 drafted into the Marines, during the Vietnam War. No one has been drafted since the Vietnam War, but the possibility still exists.
