If the question is referring to draftees (conscripted men), a sample follows: Out of an approximate 250 man basic trainee company in the late 1960's, at a US Army Fort, possibly 3 men were dedicated true volunteers. Another dozen or more men were volunteers because they had originally been drafted or about to be drafted and were given an opportunity to "enlist" (volunteer) for better duty or better job. Use extreme caution when reading statistics; when people say they were volunteers...were they volunteers because they were going to be drafted ANYWAY? On paper that will show up as a volunteer. But in reality, he wanted no part of it, but thought things might go better for him if offered a deal (by enlisting/volunteering).
