I decided to watch one of those free movies on YouTube and I landed on "Gay Deceivers" (1969) which is about two guys who pretend to be gay so that they don't have to go to the Vietnam War. The movie gives a good insight into the drafting mechanism. I had no idea to what extent drafting personnel went, like if you were gay they would spy on you personally in undercover clothes to see if you were gay or just pretending.
But then again I remember in the movie Hair (which is set in the same period) that being gay was not a disqualifier to pass the draft.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
