During the Vietnam War, roughly about 2 million men world wide; women were part of the WACs (Women's Army Corps).
The term(s) "How many men in the US Army" cannot be applied today (21st century). The WACs were disbanded in 1975.
You must name a time period. Prior to 1975 (the Vietnam era) the US Military was 100% men and 100% military. During that time frame US military women in all branches were considered AUXILIARIES and belonged to the WACs, WAVES, and WAFs. Women were not considered part of the US fighting strength.
EDIT: Removed offensive material from answer.
currently, there are about 3,300,000 men and women as active personel in the U.S. military.
Less than 3 percent of men have served in the US military out of the entire population of the United States
0.34%
The Vietnam War had 16 million men that avoided US military service (dodged the draft).
Yes, men and women did fight in World War I, although their roles were usually segregated. Men were primarily the combat soldiers, while women served in a variety of other capacities such as nursing, clerical work, and manufacturing munitions. Some women also served as spies and in auxiliary military roles.
No, political correctness came after the war when the all volunteer military was created. From WWII to the Vietnam War females were not part of the fighting units; they had their own branch, the Women's Army Corps (WACs). The US Navy had the WAVES. These were support units, to relieve the men from support functions, which in turn would allow the men to fight the wars.
They were accepted
The US military all ready has in place plans for a draft of women if/ when a draft is reintroduced. Women ARE eligible now in the eyes of the government, so they will be drafted.
WACs & WAVEs did the same thing they did in WWII; supported the US fighting men. Primary functions were administrative and medical (nurses).
Women can do what men can do with a few exceptions. These include fathering children as they are not equipped and being involved in direct combat in the US military.
providing the military with some of the best fighting and serving men and women.
The gulf war of 1980-1988, or January thru February 1991, or the 21st century 2003 Operation Iraqi Freedom? US men & women have served in the last two military campaigns.

Yes. Training women to fight as hard as men would make bullying the world a whole lot easier and people will fear us
Its costing us billions of dollars, its taking the lives of our men and women, and the operations are pointless.
