How many volunteers were in the Vietnam war?

Updated: 4/28/2022

South Vietnamese Servicemen were DRAFTED. If any of them volunteered, it was because they needed the employment (money) to support their families. And, there certainly was a chance of a few South Vietnamese men wanting money to support their families.

See Website: Statistics About the Vietnam War. Recommended by the History Channel. The experienced historian will use caution when using that data. During the Vietnam War (and most likely other wars) the military OFTEN gave a draftee the "option" of enlisting. That "optioned enlistee" will NOW BE COUNTED AS A VOLUNTEER. The next "data" will be: Group 1. Volunteered for the military. Group 2. Volunteered for Vietnam. Different numbers will be reflected in the two different groups.
