Best Answer

Not drafted into Vietnam. A man could be drafted into the military and NOT go to Vietnam. He could be stationed anywhere.

Most men that were drafted were in their early twenties, a very few got conscripted at 19 (compared to the 20 or 21 or 22 age group).

Age 18 was the preferred age. Men younger than that were usually sent to Europe (Germany) or had state-side duty.

The US Army preferred to send 18 year men to Vietnam, although men less than that were killed there.
