I think it really falls back on the draft. When you don’t have a volunteer army, you don’t have as well trained soldiers. Also, there was a lot of reported drug abuse by soldiers in Vietnam.

Yep. I would not want to get high in Vietnam as many did. But the draft played a big role since they took people to Vietnam literally against their will.
