The Selective Service System addressed deferment abuses by implementing stricter regulations and oversight on the deferment process during the Vietnam War era. They conducted audits and investigations to identify fraudulent claims, particularly among individuals seeking educational or medical deferments. Additionally, the government increased penalties for those who misrepresented their status and worked to standardize the criteria for deferments to minimize inconsistencies and loopholes that could be exploited. These measures aimed to ensure that deferments were granted fairly and in accordance with the established guidelines.

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.

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.
