The previous draft was rift with "exemptions" and deferrments. If we as a nation need to fall back on a draft, every swinging d!ck and woman would have to enter the draft no matter what unless 100% disabled. The military has a lot of positions that can be filled with those handicapped and not put in harms way. The mantra in the 60's and 70's was that every soldier is to be trained to be a fighter no matter the MOS. In some cases that was true as administration/cook/etc. types were called to duty during past wars when the fighting got too close and losses mounted. Handicapped could remain in CONUS.</blockquote>
