Of the 4 U.S. Boomer presidents: Clinton used an educational deferment & Rhodes scholarship to dodge the draft, then enrolled in ROTC when the law was changed, then pulled out of ROTC once his draft number was high enough that he wouldn't be drafted anyway. Bush enlisted in the Air National Guard, which was never called up for Vietnam. Obama was a child. Trump had "bone spurs".
There's a long, recent history of draft dodgers doing well in high places.
