If the ROTC rejected Rudy for physical reasons, he probably wouldn't pass the Army physical, since the requirements are the same. See Army Regulation 40-501. Looks much more thorough than your yearly physical at your family doctor.
Then using a quote from a 18 year old article by Jimmy Breslin, one of the chief Clinton bootlickers? This is a loser arguement.
Angry archivists and historians denounced the unprecedented hijacking of public property to private hands. Tom Connors, of the Society of American Archivists, said the transfer seemed part of a movement to "create barriers to the American citizen's right to know what their governments are doing."
The families of the police and fire rescuers who died in the attack balked at Giuliani's plan to take up to a year to dole out the money, with his new organization billing $2.2 million in anticipated administrative expenses (including six-figure salaries for friends he appointed as officers). The families argued that the fire union had far more quickly distributed $111 million with an estimated administrative cost of just $30,000.
Under embarrassing pressure from the victims' families, unions and state Attorney General Elliot Spitzer, Giuliani backed down. He promised to distribute the money within 60 days and fund his overhead from new donations. The families of the deceased rescuers, the real heroes of the September 11 attacks, received a one-time benefit of about $230,000 each from the Giuliani-privatized fund in 2002. That year, the former mayor earned some $8 million in speaking fees alone, more than $650,000 per month.
New York conveniently forgot the 1996 federal ban on sanctuary laws until a gang of five Mexicans—four of them illegal—abducted and brutally raped a 42-year-old mother of two near some railroad tracks in Queens. The NYPD had already arrested three of the illegal aliens numerous times for such crimes as assault, attempted robbery, criminal trespass, illegal gun possession, and drug offenses. The department had never notified the INS.

Here we go again ,fighting against your own party.For sure conservatives will lose big time again in 08,and it will be your own fault.
Not so.
Back in 1965 my cousin tried to enlist in the US Army THREE TIMES. Each time he failed the physical and naturally, was rejected. Then in Sept of '66 he gets his notice for his draft physical - he PASSED. One month later he was in Ft. Knox for basic. After AIT he was in the 2nd Armored Div at Ft Hood. But by then he had 22 Medical Profiles (no standing, no marching, no loud noises, etc, etc, etc). He stayed at Ft Hood for the duration and "ran the Motor Pool".
Point being, what 40-501 says now is irrelevant compared to what occurred back then as to physical fitness. (You'll recall Ali got drafted with an IQ of a moron)
Oh and in 1966 another buddy - a real war hero btw - was almost drafted into the Marines. But the Marines didn't 'draft', uh-huh. At the induction center they counted off in fives, every 5th went, he was 6 (or #1 in the next count). Those were screwy times.
So no, Rudy would have passed the draft physical and he knew it. But as a law school graduate would have had it pretty cushy. His odds of being in combat arms were likely nil. Hell he could have enlisted after he got his notice, got into JAG and never left the US.
He wimped out (chickened) and evaded the draft - period.
