London, England during the 1960s. I'd hang out with the Rolling Stones.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Current Law:

[quote]Non-Citizens and Dual Nationals

Photo of a young non-citizen or dual nationalU.S. non-citizens and dual nationals are required by law to register with the Selective Service System. Most are also liable for induction into the U.S. Armed Forces if there is a draft. They would also be eligible for any deferments, postponements, and exemptions available to all other registrants.

If There is a Military Draft Underway

However, some non-citizens and dual nationals would be exempt from induction into the military if there is a draft, depending on their country of origin and other factors. Some of these exemptions are shown below:

A non-citizen who has lived in the U.S. for less than one year is exempt from induction.

A dual national whose other country of nationality has an agreement with the U.S. which specifically provides for an exemption is exempt from induction

Some countries have agreements with the U.S. which exempt a non-citizen national who is a citizen of both that country and the U.S. from military service in the U.S. Armed Forces. A non-citizen who requests and is exempt under an agreement or bilateral treaty can never become a U.S. citizen, and may have trouble reentering the U.S. if he leaves.

A non-citizen who served at least a year in the military of a country with which the U.S. is involved in mutual defense activities will be exempt from military service if he is a national of a country that grants reciprocal privileges to citizens of the U.S.

During a draft, any claims for exemptions based on any of the above categories would be granted or denied by a man's Local Board.

Military examiners make the final decision about who will be accepted into the military.[/quote]

I don't know what the law was in the '60s with regards to foreigners or what agreements the U.S. might have had with the United Kingdom as to British citizens being drafted.

Also not sure how the law would apply to time-travelers.😉

Victorian England, or medieval Wessex

Right now is pretty good.

The past had some pretty horrible times.

And the future could be terribly screwed up depending on what we all do now.

Probably Victorian England, or anywhere in Europe during the Renaissance.
