Today's youth won't have to land in Normandy to fight Nazis. The battle is raging much closer to home.

I think their point was more about fighting than winning, so the reply doesn't quite work.

How many people volunteered for Vietnam compared to WWII?

I think that factors into the equation.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I found this

Fact: 2/3 of the men who served in Vietnam were volunteers. 2/3 of the men who served in World War II were drafted. Approximately 70% of those killed in Vietnam were volunteers.
