Wayne LaPierre, the executive vice president of the National Rifle Association (NRA), avoided the draft during the Vietnam War by receiving a series of student deferments while he was in college. He later obtained a medical deferment after he was diagnosed with a back condition, which ultimately exempted him from military service. This decision has been a point of contention and criticism, especially given his staunch advocacy for gun rights and military support.

Was Wayne LaPierre a draft dodger?

There were all kinds of people who disagreed with the draft. Kids who were poor or black who really did have moral objections to the war in Vietnam went to jail if they stayed here in the US. 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".
