Millennial here. Can confirm, I’ll be staying home and doing my own thing. One live isn’t worth more then another and I’m not going to war. If you’re going to put me in jail because I refuse, then maybe I need to find a different country to live in.
On the very off chance they restarted the draft, there are tons of reasons the Pentagon would fight conscription, make sure you know asylum procedures or have the stuff ready to immigrate. Run don’t try to just ignore the draft.
They, the last time they did the draft, didn’t just throw normies into jail, they grabbed them then kicked them over to the military and then if you ran away and got brought back after being AWOL they just deployed you and let happen what happened, regulars frequently discovered that these sorts had… uhh… “accidents” at a more frequent rate.
If you run against a war with Russia then the war will catch you eventually. Are you planning to live the rest of your days in an obscure South American nation?
As opposed to to your life ending in a few short months on a battlefield?
Sure. Why not.
It doesn’t have to be Sth America. US men dodging the draft were given political asylum in Canada or Sweden during the Vietnam war and an estimated 60-100,000 fled the US.
So it is actually:
Decades in another modern western nation or weeks/months on a battle field?
I asked it in question form because I was legitimately curious. Where do you plan to go while the world you leave behind devolves into an authoritarian hell? What other “modern western nation” would be left if Russia and/or China expands all the way across Europe as well as onto US Shores?
You don’t have a second life to flee to if the west fails to defend itself.
I asked a legitimate question. I want to rationalize running away against a threat like that, I would never sell my soul to the military complex for anything other than necessity, but it absolutely doesn’t make sense other than for selfish shortsighted cowardice.
then maybe I need to find a different country to live in
I was born and raised in Germany and never changed my foreign citizenship, it was always on the bucket list. My husband immigrated in 2019, and since 2022 I am freaking out at the thought that we would change citizenship. Being a foreign citizen sucks sometimes, but in case of war it is extremely beneficial. Avoid drafting at home, avoid drafting where you live.
So, moving in case of a war would be more than beneficial, you just got to do it early on, before they close borders. We had friends dropping everything and packing just their cat and passports the same night Russia attacked Ukraine.
All the other comments seem to be about the US. I’m not sure how Canada will be in time of war but I agree with you. Being a foreign citizen is worth it. If I’m to leave, id go to The Netherlands but I really do not want to leave Canada.
The longer this shit goes on, the more I’m starting to worry. I hope it ends soon.

Millennial here, I’m pushing 40, you wouldn’t want me even if I was willing to fight.
Well in times of desperation they probably don’t care. If it’s real bad it’s not “can you hold a gun?” it’s “can you take a bullet?”
Anyway, just do a Ted Nugent. Take as many drugs as you can and shit yourself.
Takes notes
Yeah, remember, Hitler pressed kids and elderly men into fighting when the Red Army was marching on Berlin. Desperation leads to that kind of madness.

Easy choice.

Yet you say things like this.
Yes, because as I explained, running away against a threat like that doesn’t make any sense. Did the sentence structure confuse you?
