If I was of a cynical mindset (and I assure you I am), that almost sounds like a deliberate eugenics plan.

It was more that the administration needed bodies to throw at the war, and the administration didn't want to make the unpopular decision to force college kids to take leave from school for a draft. They weren't trying to kill these guys on purpose. It was more like throwing shit against the wall and praying that something stuck.
