Subject: [ROOTS-L] draftees vs enlisted men in WW 2

 From several memoirs I have read, I got the impression that enlisted 
men and draftees were treated differently, at least in World War 2.  
What did the differences consist of?  Different platoons? sleeping 
quarters? food? training? social events? possibilities for promotion?

Can anybody enlighten me?
