Most US soldiers were young, working-class volunteers.
Explanation: Vietnam troops were disproportionately young (many in their late teens/early 20s) and from lower- and working-class backgrounds (college deferments kept many middle- and upper-class men out). While the draft supplied a large number of troops, the overall force included many volunteers, and relatively few had college degrees.
