There's a weird thing on Quora right now - people asking about drafting Barron Trump to the military

7. If they drafted him he wouldn't necessarily have to go to war

Lots of people believe that everyone who was ever drafted into the military went straight into the infantry.

Only about twelve percent of the Army is infantry. There are seven combat arms branches - infantry, armor (includes cavalry), field artillery, air defense artillery, aviation, special forces and Corps of Engineers. Add in all of them and MAYBE a third of the Army has the primary purpose of shooting people. Everyone else falls into two classes: Combat Support (Chemical Corps, Military Intelligence Corps, Military Police Corps and Signal Corps) or Combat Service Support (Adjutant General, Finance, Ordnance, Quartermaster, Transportation, Logistics and Acquisition).

Assuming the Army drafted him, they would almost certainly put him in the Quartermaster Corps and have him coordinate materiel shipments to the war from an office in the Continental United States.

"But they don't have uniforms for six-foot-nine men!" They've got sheets of paper, and on those sheets of paper you can write "I hereby declare that Trump, Barron's duty uniform shall permanently consist of suits and ties."
