Select:
- Most military personnel in Vietnam were drafted. (True — conscription provided a large share of ground combat troops during the war.)
- The average age of infantry soldiers was 19. (True — combat troops were very young on average.)
- Most US soldiers in Vietnam came from the working class. (True — men from lower socio‑economic backgrounds were disproportionately represented.)
The last statement is false: the majority of soldiers were not African American; Black troops were over‑represented in some combat units early on but were a minority overall.
