Stolen Valor - page 107:

During the Korean War, when men could be drafted out of college, Dan Irvin Rather joined the Army reserves while attending Sam Houston University in Huntsville, Texas, thus avoiding the possibility of being drafted.

On graduating in 1954, well after the Korean War was over and the killing had ended, Rather quit the reserves and enlisted in the Marine Corps. ... He joined the Marines on January 22, 1954, but was discharged less than four months later, on May 11, for being medically unfit. (As a boy, Rather has suffered rheumatic fever.)
