Romney's (non) military record faces new scrutiny.
Regarding the military draft, Romney had initially received a student
deferment, then, like most Mormon missionaries, a ministerial
deferment while in France, and then a student deferment.[33][48] When
those ran out, his high number in the December 1969 draft lottery
(300) ensured he would not be selected

At culturally conservative BYU, he remained isolated from much of the
upheaval of the era, and did not join in protests against the war or
against the LDS Church's policy at the time of denying full membership
to blacks.[24][33][43] He became president of, and an innovative
fundraiser for, the all-male Cougar Club booster organization and
showed a new-found discipline in his studies.[33][43] In his senior
year, he took leave to work as driver and advance man for his mother
Lenore Romney's eventually unsuccessful 1970 campaign for U.S. Senator
from Michigan;[24][46] together, they visited all 83 Michigan counties.
[50] He earned a Bachelor of Arts in English with highest honors in
1971,[43] and gave commencement addresses to both the College of
Humanities and to the whole of BYU.[nb 7]
