I think you age out of Selective Service at 45. Younger men have been drafted more often because older men have had more time to become exempt by getting college degrees, essential civilian jobs, families, and injuries. I’ve recently read that most zoomers are too out of shape for service so maybe the exemptions will be cut back and they’ll try to conscript more older men.

Aren't there also some physical infirmities that keep people from being drafted? I seem to remember flat feet being mentioned in some old movies.
