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.


What ethical questions were raised by the Vietnam War?

Regarding the "ethical" question(s) concerning the rules or standards for right conduct or practice...on the part of the US, who represented the main power during the cold war, on behalf of the free world; US citizens who were unaware or simply didn't care (until drafted, then they cared!) about the US's status during the cold war: considered it wrong to mingle in other country's internal affairs/and wrong, to force (by conscription) US citizens into the military to fight in a "civil war" (in this case North vs South)of another country. These were the MAIN questions raised (because being drafted affected THEM).
