Because apparently the AF has never done drafts.

Though he may’ve been given a choice—i.e., go into the AF as a flight surgeon, or go into the Army as a private.

If that's what Paul said, then I'll take him at his word. Just like I'll take Newt at his word when he says that he never asked for a deferment. This is what I hate about politics...the country is heading off a cliff into 3rd worldism economically and these candidates are wasting time on the question of Newt's service or lack of service... 40 YEARS AGO!

There has always been a special draft for medical doctors, the armed forces can not fight wars without doctors.
