The Selective Service Program is and was an imperfect system and it was subject to abuse. There were numerous possibilities to avoid the military draft in the US, here are a few:
- You had a physical or mental limitation,
- You were Conscientious Objector,
- You got a lucky draft selection number,
- You had a student deferment,
- You had a wife and numerous children.
- You were an ordained minister,
- You held Dual Citizenship, particularly if that was with a belligerent.
- You might be a convicted felon serving time.
- You might have been exempted because a parent or sibling had died in combat.
- There was also a clause or condition called something like the needs of the Government. That might mean anything: you might be a CIA agent, a nuclear physicist, a gifted artist, a member of an astronaut program, the FBI, NSA, Secret Service, or you might just have political connections.

Other men - for example, Canadian men - did not need to be drafted. They volunteered in the armed forces to protect their homeland from foreign threats.
