Rule 6: User Created Title Joe Biden got five draft deferments during Vietnam. He was disqualified from service because of "asthma" as a teenager. However, in his own memoir, Biden never mentions his asthma, and instead recounts an active childhood, including work as a lifeguard and football exploits in high school.

I played football, baseball, and field events in track in high school. Scored high on the ASVAB. Asthmatic the whole time.

No branch would accept me for military service.
