Less than 13,000 of the US dead in Vietnam were teenagers. There are exceptions to every rule; but generally younger men follow orders better, they're tougher, walk faster and further, can climb hills better, have more energy, and last but not least they have a more adventurous attitude. The older men get, the more they tire out, and the more cautious they get...which is good, their experience (wisdom) will command the younger men in battle. Again, there's exceptions to every rule...too much caution can be bad, which is why many old officers were replaced during war time...US Civil War, etc. Too much adventurous spirit can cut a young man's life short on the battlefield (but for those that have never been in battle; there really is such a thing as luck (fate, destiny, which ever name people wish to use these days).

Can you be drafted into the marine core?
I am pretty sure you can't be drafted, unless the country is in some major war like WWII and there are no reserves left. During WWII and the Vietnam War men were drafted into the Marine Corps as well as the Army so - yes - some registered with Selective Serviece CAN be drafted into the Marine Corps. As a practical matter, it has only happened during "major war" such as that alluded to by the first person who answered this question. If my sources are correct, most of the Marines during WWII were drafte, 16,000 men were drafted into the Marines during the Korean War and 42,633 drafted into the Marines, during the Vietnam War. No one has been drafted since the Vietnam War, but the possibility still exists.
Why you should be against the Vietnam war?
