Yes, the Selective Service Act, first passed in 1917, established a military draft in the United States. It required men of certain ages to register for military service, allowing the government to conscript individuals into the armed forces during times of war or national emergency. This act was notably utilized during World War I and later during World War II and the Vietnam War.

During World War I, the 4A military classification indicated that an individual was unfit for military service due to physical or mental reasons. This classification was part of a broader system used by the U.S. military to categorize potential draftees and assess their eligibility for service. Those classified as 4A were exempt from conscription and military duties, allowing for the identification of those who could serve effectively.
