Doctors are conscripted under a differnet law, the so called “doctor draft”. The Air Force did draft doctors in past wars up to and including Vietnam.

In any case he was not drafted to serve in Vietnam. I read where he left the service shortly before the big buildup there. in 1965 just as the Vietnam War was getting serious, Ron Paul left active duty and spent the rest of his career in the Air National Guard.

Then in 1968, when the Vietnam War was at its height, Ron Paul resigned his commission and left the service.
