I noticed this was happening during my historical league for WWII but it was at random and player who were really drafted didn't get drafted in my league and those that did it was only for a year when they served 2 or 3.

I didn't see this happen for WWI or Vietnam though, which is curious because if it isn't based on historical draft data, is it set for only WWII? The league stopped in Sept of 1918 until the end of the WWI.

Many players served including Cobb, Cristy Matthewson and Branch Rickey all served in the same unit in WWI but saw no action, and Eddie Grant was KIA while serving as a Captain.

A staggering number of players also served in Vietnam but the names were not as high profile as those in past wars.
