There were all kinds of people who disagreed with the draft. Kids who were poor or black who

LaPierre was a typical upper class Republican kid who got his MD to write a note that he had a "nervous disorder". Republican kids with more pull, like George Bush, got selected for the national guard over others waiting in line.
I hope you will find it amusing that I agree with the Doctor. A paranoid lunatic like LaPierre, with delusional gun fantasies is really not mentally competent to be a good soldier. He would have killed way more of "ours" than "theirs".
