The United States Army and other armed services were a combination. There were huge amounts of volunteers, but there was also a draft instituted. It was pretty much a given that sooner or later young men would end up going into the service. Many that volunteered where taking the service they were going to end up in into their own hands so they got a choice and not the luck of the draw. About 60 percent of the Armed Forces in WW-II were conscripted. The Navy and Coast Guard rarely had to draw from this pool. There were fewer volunteers for the Marine Corps as the war progressed and the casualty figures began to be reported. It didn't matter, draftee or volunteer, they all served their country and served it well. Bless them all. The 85th "Custer" Infantry Division and the 88th "Blue Devil" Infantry Division were two division made up of all draftee soldiers.
