As long as you had 2 eyes, all your limbs and didnt have
flat feet you were in the infantry.

Those requirements were later relaxed. When I was drafted, in 1956, I
had thirteen years of schooling but I was flat-footed and essentially
blind in one eye.


The flat footed still might end up in the navy or the air force but
the army didnt want them, eyesight problems were less of an
impediment, especially after war started, there were plenty of soldiers
blind in one eye.
