According to my recollection, he was. He conveniently went to Sweden or one of the other Scandinavian countries to escape the draft. He was not, to my knowledge, ever deemed to be unfit for service. He just refused to report, instead he left the United States, and lived abroad for some time. I find it odd that he did return to the U.S., and was portrayed in the movie, "First Blood" as a Special Forces soldier/vet who had problems once he returned home for the war. His case, like so many more, were silently swept under the covers, and nothing was ever done. I do remember that Jimmy Carter did approve the amnesty program for several thousand draft dodgers who resided overseas, but return to the U.S. No jail time or punishments were given for their misdeeds.

Did Sylvester Stallone have a Down syndrome child?

No. A forceps accident during his birth severed a facial nerve, leaving Stallone with parts of his lip, tongue, and chin paralyzed. In doing so, the accident imprinted Stallone with some of the most recognizable components of his persona: the distinctively slurred (and some say often nearly incomprehensible) speech patterns, drooping lower lip, and crooked left eye that have been eagerly seized upon by caricaturists. To compound these defects, Stallone was a homely, sickly child who once suffered from rickets.
