I think that our peak strength was 8,000,000. Of course not everybody served for the duration so the total number on enlistees would be somewhat higher than that. Michael Montagne
Enlistee and draftee are not the same thing, and the first answerer above missed the point.
The correct answer: NOT ENOUGH Americans enlisted for the war, so the draft was used to fill the ground units (infantry and marines) with bodies. Get the book __Stolen Valor__ from your local library for the exact statistics, in all classes of service.
