By 1968 approximately 40,000 US men a month were being drafted.
In World War II 300 million British men were drafted. 800,000 children were drafted, and 80 million pregnant women were drafted, but only 79 million pregnant women actually fought in the war.
== In the US there were 11,535,000 draftees during WWII.
Women work in the professional environment today because so many men were drafted for WWII. There were no men left to run the factories, and women had to do the job. I can only guess to the hundreds of thousands that were drafted... Over 1,000,000 allied forces were involved in D-Day. If my grandma had to pay for sugar with Uncle Sam food stamps, you can bet your keister men were drafted. Hitler was going to conquer the world.
Figures like that are impossible to estimate. Many troops from all Allied countries were drafted and many were volunteers. Who is to say who was drafted exactly for D-Day.

frederick muzz patrick enlisted into the us army in 1940 this was before the bombing of pearl harbour. which in its self caused many americans to enlist. so as fmp enlisted before this action it is unclear if he was drafted or joined of his iwn accord
Nearly any man drafted for the military does not want to go. If he did want to go into the military, he would have enlisted (volunteered) to begin with.
If you're talking about WWII, no; many Americans enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces to fight, until the U.S. was attacked and joined the war.
About 450 Men or boys
Why would Canadians enlist in the American military instead of their own...

A properly drafted man with no prior military service was taken into the United States Army as a Private. and sent one of many Basic Training Camps i.e. Fort Dix, New Jersey where he was to complete 8 weeks of Basic Military Training before being given an MOS for which he would receive additional training at the same or another Military Base. A drafted man during Viernan was expected to complete 2 years of active service from the time he took his oath. He was never considered an enlisted man as enlisted men signed up for service and usually for a specific field of duty and depending on that field of duty, they were expected to spend at least 3 years of active service in the army. Once you're in the military, you are either "enlisted" or "officer" for pay purposes. Almost all draftees become enlisted, but a few professionals (primarily doctors and lawyers) may be drafted and sent to Officer Candidate School instead of Recruit Training Camp.
One Officer and 19 enlisted for a total of 20.
When WWII began the total Marine Corps strength was about 65,881 officers and enlisted on active duty, and 18,279 of them were already on duty worldwide on overseas assignments.
All of them - we have a volunteer military nobody was drafted everyone volunteered.
