Although South Vietnamese airmen were in the US undergoing flight training (just as North Vietnamese airmen under went flight training in Communist China and the Soviet Union), few to no Americans of Vietnamese descent were inducted into the US Military during the Vietnam War; for the simple reason the vast majority of immigration from South Vietnam to the US occurred after the war (or at least at the end of it) in 1975.

∙ 12y agoAs in the US Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea & Vietnam...Both.
In Vietnam US Army personnel had US preceding their serial number stamped on their dog tags. Volunteers had RA preceding their serial number.
Example: US 555-55-5555 means the man was drafted; US stood for US Selective Service. RA 555-55-5555 meant the man was a volunteer; the RA stood for Regular Army.
Note: The Vietnam War was America's last war in which US servicemen had serial numbers.

How did the armies recruit people for the civil war?
After the beginning of the US Civil War, each side resorted to making joining their military a voluntary thing to aid their respective sides. Each side appealed to the patriotism of its citizens. As the war grew in size and intensity, draft laws were enacted to bring new soldiers to each side's military forces. Draft laws were first enacted in the South in 1862 and in 1863 draft laws were enacted in the Union. Most soldiers, however, were still volunteers.
