I don't know about drafted first but I'm pretty sure they get drafted like anyone else unless qualified for exemptions below?

 %%Jewish Americans Draft Exemption%%

Jewish Americans, like all other U.S. citizens, are generally eligible for the draft, but there are specific exemptions and considerations that apply to individuals regardless of their religious background. Currently, there is no active draft in the United States, but all men between the ages of 18 and 25, including Jewish Americans, are required to register with the Selective Service System.

Failure to register can result in legal consequences, although enforcement of these penalties has been rare in recent decades.

Exemptions from the draft can be granted based on several criteria:

Conscientious objectors: Individuals who oppose war based on deeply held moral or religious beliefs may be exempted from combat roles or, in some cases, from military service altogether. Jewish Americans who hold such beliefs can apply for conscientious objector status by providing evidence of their convictions, such as statements from religious leaders or personal writings.

Medical and psychological conditions: Individuals with chronic illnesses, severe mental health disorders, or physical disabilities that prevent them from performing military duties may be exempt. This applies to all Americans, including Jewish individuals, and is determined through a medical evaluation.

Essential civilian roles: In some cases, individuals in critical professions such as healthcare or education may be exempt if their work is deemed vital to national welfare. This is not specific to Jewish Americans but could apply to any individual in such a role.

Dependent caregivers: Individuals who are the sole providers for dependents, such as single parents or caregivers for disabled family members, may be exempt to avoid causing undue hardship on their families.

It is important to note that there is no specific exemption for Jewish Americans based solely on their religious identity. Any exemptions are based on individual circumstances and must be formally requested and reviewed by the Selective Service System.
