Best Answer

About 16 million Americans were in uniform. This was ten per cent of the then US population of 160 million, and the maximum it was thought could be spared in a modern, industrial economy without beginning to harm war production.

Over eight million were in the US Army, more than three million in the US Navy and another three million plus in the US Army Air Force, and 700,000 were Marines.
