a. Whether young or old, the army took them into military service.
b. Whether disabled or able-bodied, the police arrested them.
Are sentences (a) and (b) grammatically correct?
Many thanks.

Re: whether young or old
Contextually possible but lazy/poor style: I presume that what you mean is:
Whether THEY WERE....
