In the meantime, our best guess is that he obtained a student (2-S)
deferment not long after entering Siena College (in 1967 or 1968). At
that time, according to information provided on the Selective Service
web site, “a man could qualify for a student deferment if he could
show he was a full-time student making satisfactory progress in
virtually any field of study.”
That in itself casts doubt on the claim that LaPierre sought and
received a medical deferment on the basis of a “nervous disorder” —
whether feigned or real — to evade the draft. The simple truth is that
he didn't need to go to all that trouble.
"Vietnam war draft-dodger" would appear to be a lie.
