Depends how everything else is going. Probably at the point we have a draft to go to Iran, we'll already be an authoritarian state and your options are to go to to war or to ICE camp. You think Russians are volunteering to die in Ukraine?

But I'd be curious if that would have worked in Vietnam. I'm guessing they would just put a note in your file to subject you to as much abuse as possible or just kill you the way they did Pat TIllman. Conscientious Objector status is a really a sop to religion, otherwise I think a lot of people could qualify for it.

Edit: Get out of the US if you at all can.
