If the USA congress re-enacts the war draft....

Would you be a draft dodger in order to save your life?

During the Vietnam War many men ran to Canada & Sweden to avoid the draft.


Footnote & Update:

Everyone thank you all for answering such a tough question to answer.

I'm way too old for the draft. My sons on the hand. Their is one that is still young enough for the draft. If the draft age remains 18-25 year men.

I really know his answer would be. He would run to another country if he could. We had this talk before. When we sat and talk talked to my uncles that were in the Vietnam war.

I served during the Reagan wars in the 80s. Draft my daughters or grandkids? They have dual citizenship just for this reason.

@Crazywaterspring Dual citizenship can make you liable for two sets of military service! A colleague of mine had children with Norwegian and Turkish citizenship, he was able to buy his son out of Turkish military service though.

@LeopoldBloom There are quite a few congressional staffers with dual US/Israëli citizenship.
