Great story, and absolutely see this playing out had Bill Clinton applied himself to this scenario.  To further the Devil's Advocacy, though, anyone who lived through the nightmare of the Korean War will attest to the brutality of ever being drafted and sent to the front lines.  With Vietnam being far bloodier and more endless, I can see people not wanting to tempt fate with conscription-and-testing games.
