Good question. from Wikipedia:
Sinatra did not serve in the military during World War II. On December 11, 1943, he was officially classified 4-F ("Registrant not acceptable for military service") by his draft board because of a perforated eardrum. However, army files reported that Sinatra was "not acceptable material from a psychiatric viewpoint", but his emotional instability was hidden to avoid "undue unpleasantness for both the selectee and the induction service".

By the way, John Wayne always passed himself off as a super-patriot. But he did not serve in WW II either. At least Sinatra was quiet about the whole super-patriot thing.
