Did Congressman Steve King of Iowa receive a draft deferment from the Vietnam War?
Yes, he did. He received a total of three draft deferments: one on October 19th, 1967; one on December 12th, 1968, and one on November 17th, 1969. When the guy who is always ranting about communists, socialists, Marxists and leftists had a chance to fight communism in the jungles of South Vietnam, he chose to run away to Northwest Missouri State in Maryville, Missouri. What a hero!
Why was Gary Cooper not drafted in World War 2?
I can't find any specific corroboration of this, but it was fairly common for movie stars (which Cooper certainly was at the time) to receive deferments. It was the general feeling of the government that movie stars could better serve their country as, well, movie stars (by appearing in patriotic movies) than by slogging across Europe as an unremarkable soldier. Cooper in particular appeared in 1941's "Sergeant York", a movie about highly decorated WWI hero Alvin York.

If you are seeking a military deferment for religious reasons, you will need to talk to your military officers. Deferments are not as common today in the United States since we no longer have a draft. Mormons in the military are rarely granted military deferments for missions anymore- it is expected that if they want to serve a mission they will do so before joining the military. Deferments for religious service are also uncommon in other countries.
