Both generals Westmoreland & Abrams, commanders in Vietnam, were age 52 in 1966; both fought against the Germans in WWII. The oldest US serviceman to die in Vietnam was age 62, the youngest man, which is disputed (some say he was younger) was age 16.

Although there were probably exceptions, age 19 seems to have been the most common young age, and 26/27 the average high age for drafted men.

Although it was possible, few men 30 or over were met that were drafted.
