Marines, Charles McMahon and Darwin Lee Judge, were the last two people to die during the American involvement in the Vietnam War. The same rocket struck them both simultaneously during the evacuation of Saigon on April 29, 1975.

What year did people get drafted for the Vietnam war?

Americans were drafted into the Vietnam War in 1965.


Can you be drafted into the marine core?

I am pretty sure you can't be drafted, unless the country is in some major war like WWII and there are no reserves left. During WWII and the Vietnam War men were drafted into the Marine Corps as well as the Army so - yes - some registered with Selective Serviece CAN be drafted into the Marine Corps. As a practical matter, it has only happened during "major war" such as that alluded to by the first person who answered this question. If my sources are correct, most of the Marines during WWII were drafte, 16,000 men were drafted into the Marines during the Korean War and 42,633 drafted into the Marines, during the Vietnam War. No one has been drafted since the Vietnam War, but the possibility still exists.


When Was the Last War Draft?

The first US draft was during the US Civil War (1861-1865); the last US draft was during the Vietnam War (1961-1975).

Was the Vietnam war the only one to have a draft?

The FIRST US war to have an "official" military draft was the US Civil War (1861-1865); which also resulted in the nation's FIRST "draft riots." Vietnam (1961-1975) was the LAST military draft, with the accompanying last "draft riots." US males were drafted in WW1 (1917-1918), WW2 (1941-1945), and the Korean War (1950-1953).
