What makes up the US armed forces?
In general military forces are made up of the citizens of a nation who either volunteer to serve in their forces or are conscripted to serve in the forces. In the US the forces are made up of the enlisted and the commissioned officers and the Secretary of the Armed Forces and the Chief (the President of the US). In the United Kingdom the Royal Forces belong to the Queen of the kingdom and are responsible to her or the King when there is one. The forces consist of enlisted people and the officers and the Admiralty. In Israel the forces are conscripted and there are those who enlist. They too have enlisted, conscripted and commissioned officers. During World War 2 there were also drafted/conscripted men in the forces because they needed millions of men for all the forces. After the Viet Nam War the US chose to have only enlisted personnel and commissioned officers but they reserved the right to enact the draft again if it was necessary. The men have to register for the draft even though they may not ever be drafted. Military forces consist of Naval forces, Aviation forces such as the US Air Force or the Royal Air Force, Army forces, Marine forces, recon forces (special forces), Coast Guard forces, and some countries have special intelligence forces. All these military type forces have their own structures and units. Some countries only have one military because they are too small a country or too poor.
How did the US get soldiers for World War 1?
While volunteers were always accepted, soldiers were drafted for service in the US armed forces during World War 1.
How many men did the US draft in World War 2?
Women work in the professional environment today because so many men were drafted for WWII. There were no men left to run the factories, and women had to do the job. I can only guess to the hundreds of thousands that were drafted... Over 1,000,000 allied forces were involved in D-Day. If my grandma had to pay for sugar with Uncle Sam food stamps, you can bet your keister men were drafted. Hitler was going to conquer the world.
What was the difference between a drafted soldier and an enlisted one?
An enlisted soldier is a soldier of the U.S. Armed Forces entitled to all benefits offered by the Army and are sworn in to uphold a contract. Drafted soldiers did not get any benefits other than medical if they were injured in combat and they are technically not in the Armed Forces so they not have a right to any extra benefits and their pay is also significantly lower than enlisted men. Drafted soldiers would be the equivalent of what a security guard is in comparison to a cop....EDIT: The preceding answer is 100% untrue. Draftees are entitled to ALL the same benefits as enlisted men. The only small exception was that during the Vietnam conflict there were certain incentives offered for enlisting. But they were small incentives, such as more preferable assignments AFTER your tour of duty, when you came back to the US. As far as where you went and what you did during a war, no difference was made between enlisted and drafted. All of the financial and medical benefits are exactly the same as well. Socially, hardly any difference is ever made between the draftees and enlisted men during peacetime, and during wartime absolutely no difference is made between them. They fight and die side by side and are brothers, regardless of whether they signed up or were forced to serve. Whoever submitted the preceding answer is not only ignorant on the subject, he has very poor grammar skills. He should be ashamed of himself.
