Sure, but not overtly. Just examine how the Chickenhawks of our time dodged service in Vietnam, they used relationships, influence, attorneys, & doctors to game the selective service system.
A deep cycle battery traffic signal. A deep-cycle battery is a lead-acid battery designed to be regularly deeply discharged using most of its capacity. In contrast, starter batteries (e.g. most automotive batteries) are designed to deliver short, high-current bursts for cranking the engine, thus frequently discharging only a small part of their capacity.
The two most common types of deep cycle batteries are flooded ( a.k.a. wet or liquid electrolyte) cell and valve regulated (VR). Flooded cell deep cycle batteries are divided, like their car battery counterparts, into low maintenance (the most common) and maintenance free based on their plate formulation.
