    Kiss your recruiter full on the lips and fondle his wee wee. Saying you’re gay isn’t enough. The Army wants proof!

    Depending on how many people the draft covers, it can be easy or not to escape it. Say if it's 50% draft, you only have to be worse than half of your friends to escape it. That doesn't require much, and you can always do a bit of acting. Or you can just say you're pacifist and say they'll throw away money if they give you the education. They might put you in jail for a little while, or preferably they realize that it's for their own best to not have a coward or a pacifist (if that is true) in their army... However if it's a 100% draft then trying to escape isn't really a good idea...

    Stay in school
    Move to Canada
    If you were born in another nation change your citizenship. Only works if you are under 21 however.
    Fill a consience (SP) objector status on your draft card, you might want to become a Quaker before filling this one out though to give it creditablity.

    I'm curious about this, is there a discretionary choice made at some stage whether a concientious objector is actually one or if they are just slack, for which being a Quaker would obviously help. It just seems a little... strange that you would have to use religion to back up your right to object to war.

    Bloody hell, it doesn't even exist so this is a hypothetical exercise at best...

    And all this time I thought signing up for the selective service meant you had signed up to recieve thousands of tons of junk mail from the Army, the Navy, the Marines, the National Guard, and the Airforce. Was way off on that one...

    Seriously the USA isnt even close to calling up a draft. No one wants a draft, it's pure politicing. Honestly if a time came that they would call up a draft you can also bet that there would be a world crisis. At that point there'd be few places you would want to shirk to to escape the draft. Fewer still that would be US allies. I would say that you have lived here for 18 pretty safely, sign up, if there is a draft you'll be well into your twenties by then and they wont want you. The best way to dodge the draft is to be old, nearly a 100% gurantee there.

    By the way, I must add this below since I don't have edit button:

    I don't know whether cheating the tests is illegal or not everywhere, but I don't think it's illegal (sorry if I said something unallowed, I don't know the laws of the entire world by heart).

    However, what I know for sure is that it's illegal to refuse service IF once they've assigned you to one. What I meant with "do blah and you get short jail term" isn't a promotion of illegal activity, but that I wanted to explain that they sometimes like to trick people to do illegal stuff so they can put them in jail. It's happened friends of mine (not in the USA) that they get sadistic when they hear you're pacifist or say you're coward, and put you in some service you aren't physically fit for as a "punishment", then you MUST refuse because you CAN'T survive the service, and they'll then have made you do something that they're authorised to put you in jail for. Same with cheating the tests (to get lower score than you really have) - it might trigger the same kind of reprisals.

    There won’t be a draft unless our soil is threatened, big time. Any talk of one is just politicking.

    There is no draft in the United States at this time. There is a Selective Service Registration requirement when one turns 18. Politicans are discussing a draft possiblity but it is seemly just a politic discussion issue at this time.

    I thougth it was a civiliced country.
    If the draft is the defining base for thinking the United States is a civilized country - you may continue thinking that way - since once again there is no draft currently in this nation.

    But you can always come visit Eastern Oklahoma, Arkansas, and a few other places and we can probably convince you that we are still not civilized. That or just watch Jerry Springer.
