All serious wars, e.g. Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, etc. the military needed men! So they drafted them. If they were healthy, physically normal, and draft age...THEY WERE DRAFTED! Unless they were rich or college students (college deferments) then they didn't have to serve their country.

Education, criminal records, were worked out by the "system." E.g. go to prison or the military. No education? The military gave you one! (Yes...the GED).
