And, for further your excellent points, from Wiki...

In March 1967, shortly before the expiration of his educational draft deferment upon graduation from law school, McConnell enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve as a private at Louisville, Kentucky...This was a coveted position because the Reserve units were mostly kept out of combat during the Vietnam War...  His first day of training at Fort Knox, Kentucky, was July 9, 1967, two days after taking the bar exam, and his last day was August 15, 1967... Shortly after his arrival he was diagnosed with optic neuritis and deemed medically unfit for military service, and was honorably discharged.

This, while yours truly and several hundred thousand other fine young folks wore the uniform during the Vietnam War.

We had such colorful names for people like Mitch. They might not have bothered Mitch, however, having no observable conscience.
