No, there is no draft, therefore they signed up of their own freewill. It does not exempt them.
Banger, seriously since you asked this under law & ethics and are getting alot of yes's verus my only no- please post under military, perhaps active duty people or vets can help you better.

I am an only son and also in the military and can tell u from personal experience that you've been watching too much Saving Private Ryan...just kidding
But your answer is NO, if you volunteered then you are 100% combat deployable

I'm not 100%, but I'm pretty sure that a Mother's only son can't go into combat...by law

Yeah something about carrying on the family name. If you die and your family cannot continue on due to your death then you are exempt from any sort of "DRAFT" or military action.
I do believe.

Yes. I don't know exactly what its called but I know from experience that a person cannot be deployed to a combat situation if he/she is an only child.

There used to be, but the Bush administration has probably taken care of that.
