Vietnam as non-draftee enlisted men, according to a U.S. Army study. During 1969, draftees were killed at the rate of 31 per 1,000 and injured at the rate of 203 per 1,000, while first term enlistees were killed at the rate of 17 per 1,000 and injured at the rate of 120 per 1,000, ac- cording to the study.. The reason draftees tend to be killed at a much higher rate is that the Army, in a procedure different from previous wars, allows men who enlist for three years to choose what job they want. Because of this, draftees who make up 56 per cent of the men entering the Army, tend to make up a niuch higher per- centage of combat units. William K. Brehm, assistant secretary of the Army for man- power aid reserve affairs, ex- plains that "the popular jobs are the ones for which people enlist. They don't enlist for the hard- core combat skills." "That is why draftees tend to populate the hard-core combat skills-70 per cent' of the in- fantry, armor and artillery are draftees," says Brehm. A Defense Department man- power expert, who refused to be quoted by name, told a reporter for National Journal, a news- letter which requested-the Army study, that "we've studied this problem very carefully. People don't deem to enlist in the Army to fight."} "We recognize the inequity this causes in a shooting war," he says, "but we- don't know what to do about it." College graduates are slightly less likely to be assigned tot combat duty but there are no figures separating draftees from enlistees among college gradu- ates. 36.2 per cent of the gradu- ates who entered the Army in 1969 were assigned to combat TV R ENTA LS $10.50 per month NO DEPOSIT FREE DELIVERY AND SERVICE CALL: NEJAC TV RENTALS 662-5671 jobs, compared with the overall rate of 43.3 per cent. 61,per cent of the graduates were draftees. The higher death rate of draf- tees in Vietnam may have been ended by an amendment to the military procurement bill, which would have barred the sending of draftees to Vietnam unless they volunteered to go. The amendment, authored by Sen. William Proxmire (D- Wis.), was rejected by a vote of 22-71. The Army says it has no fig- ures on the chances of a draftee serving in Vietnam, but other figures indicate that 8,000 draf- tees are sent to Vietnam each month. The monthly draft call has been, running about 10,000. 30 per cent of. all draftees then in the Army were serving in Vietnam on July 1, compared with 25 per cent of first term enlistees. Many persons, including Sen. Proxmire, believe the three-year enlistees should not be able to opt out of combat while draftees must fight. However, the Army is apparently unwilling to re- move the provision because en- listments might drop, forcing a drastic rise in draft calls. "As strange as it sounds," Brehm. said, "only 800 young men a month out of 200 million Americans are enlisting for combat.
