What was the difference between a drafted soldier and an enlisted one?

An enlisted soldier is a soldier of the U.S. Armed Forces entitled to all benefits offered by the Army and are sworn in to uphold a contract. Drafted soldiers did not get any benefits other than medical if they were injured in combat and they are technically not in the Armed Forces so they not have a right to any extra benefits and their pay is also significantly lower than enlisted men. Drafted soldiers would be the equivalent of what a security guard is in comparison to a cop....EDIT: The preceding answer is 100% untrue. Draftees are entitled to ALL the same benefits as enlisted men. The only small exception was that during the Vietnam conflict there were certain incentives offered for enlisting. But they were small incentives, such as more preferable assignments AFTER your tour of duty, when you came back to the US. As far as where you went and what you did during a war, no difference was made between enlisted and drafted. All of the financial and medical benefits are exactly the same as well. Socially, hardly any difference is ever made between the draftees and enlisted men during peacetime, and during wartime absolutely no difference is made between them. They fight and die side by side and are brothers, regardless of whether they signed up or were forced to serve. Whoever submitted the preceding answer is not only ignorant on the subject, he has very poor grammar skills. He should be ashamed of himself.

What was the average age of a Vietnam soldier?
Presuming you mean an enlisted US soldier serving during the Vietnam War (1960-1970, approximately), then there are two answers:Prior to the mass-introduction of US ground combat troops (i.e. the so-called "advisory" period of US involvement, roughly 1960-1965), the majority of soldiers were still volunteers, and many were professional career soliders. As such, enlisted would have an average age around 22, with NCOs averaging 27.With the introduction of US ground forces for combat, the enlisted ranks were generally filled with draftees. Over 90% of all draftees were in the 18-20 range. By the time they were drafted and had undergone training, then deployed to Vietnam, the average age of a enlisted soldier was a bit over 20; the age of NCOs had also shifted downward, as many of the former volunteer force were promoted to fill new NCO positions, so the average NCO was now almost 25.Thus, prior to 1965, the average age of an infantry platoon (25+ enlisted, 3-4 NCOs, and 1 junior lieutenant) would have been about 24. Post 1965, it would have been 21 or perhaps 22.
