Paul Simon avoided being sent to Vietnam by obtaining a student deferment while he was attending college. He was enrolled at Queens College in New York, which allowed him to defer military service. Additionally, Simon was later classified as 1-Y, which meant he was not fit for military service due to a medical condition. This combination of factors enabled him to remain in the U.S. during the Vietnam War.
