Wasn't 19 the average age of our soldiers in Vietnam?

"19" is an oft-repeated statistic, but it's not correct. The average age for US servicemen during Vietnam was just over 23. (Among the enlisted infantry, it was a bit lower at 22.5. Marine infantry specifically had an even lower average of 20.5.)

Even the youngest draftees during Vietnam would have been 20 (or very nearly 20) when called up and shipped off to basic training, though there were plenty of 18 and 19 year old volunteers who enlisted (and a few even younger).

In WW1, the average age of US servicemen was 23. In WW2, it was 26.

Pansy.

Hound Dog, I was planning to post basically this same thing when I read your post! I started working on our family dairy farm at age 8 and can't count the days I came home covered in dust, hay, and cow manure.

Oh, little pansy, your little fairy dust is just so distressing...

Even the youngest draftees during Vietnam would have been 20 (or within a few months of 20) when called up and shipped off to basic training, though there were plenty of 18 and 19 year old volunteers who enlisted (and a few even younger).

In WW1, the average age of US servicemen was also 23. In WW2, it was 26.

Currently, the average age is about 29, with an average age of 27 for enlisted and 35 for officers.

Perhaps true, but not all of us were draftees. If you look at all the enlisted, the age would be a lot closer to 19.
