The complete ignorance of Americans about our nation's military and how military service as well as the draft is carried out is repulsive. In the case of a draft, every single man is evaluated. Those with poor health and those are deemed unfit for service will be sent home.
Even in the case of a draft (made EVEN MORE unlikely with the USA's ownership of nukes), you wouldn't be able to be in the military.

Um I heard otherwise in the US military, special forces this may be the case, infantryman may be slighty different. Obviously I dont know enough about it but assuming if draft came only a shotgun to the foot would save you

I have several friends and family that have been through a draft. One of them hurt his knees in high school playing football and it kept from being shipped off as he failed his health examination after he was drafted. My grandfather spent Vietnam in Canada on various Air Force bases.
Also, I imagine that with our largely obese youth, most will probably be used for IT or administration positions in the army (paperwork, evalutors, etc). There is very little reason to worry, imo.
