Why didn't Rudy ever serve his country as an honorable patriot?

[Davey]

Too short?

Too fat?

Couldn't pass the entry exam?

[Polycarp]

His height and weight were definitely a factor in Rudy's inability to
serve his country in the armed forces.

But I also imagine that his homosexual infatuation with David Hartung
played a large part in the military's refusal to accept him. It
bothers Rudy to this day.

Plus, Rudy is frightened of firearms. He claims to own some, but we
know he doesn't.
