What happens if you're drafted into the military and refuse to go?


Additional Details
I'm aware that there's no draft, but this is assuming that it will be put back into place in the future.

At present, there is not a draft. You must register with the Selective Service when you are 18 but that is all. The Selective Service is not a draft, just a registration for one. It has not been used since it's inception. Even with Gulf War I, the draft was not instituted and is very unlikely to be at anytime in the near future. There were draft dodgers during Viet Nam but that was more than 30 years ago. If caught some of them did end up in prison.

It is a shame we don't have a draft. If the pain of the obscene Iraq war was spread around to all families in America instead of just the low income households who see the military as a lifestyle...if we all had a stake in this war through a draft, the war would be over in a week.

If there is a draft and one decides they don't want to cooperate the army will help them out by sending 2 MP's to help the draftee into the jeep.

Assuming that there were an active draft, and you refused to go you would be arrested.

Unless you run to Canada... but hey they just sent a deserter back for trial so maybe that won't even work.

Well, going back to the 1960's, You'll have to Avoid this by Leaving the Country as a Draft Dodger (Many fled to Canada then)......and or Imprisonment!


Caleb
well for one the draft wont come back i highly doubt it

and if your drafted and refuse to go you got two choices
one run away and spend the rest of your life in canada
or two GO TO JAIL


Bob
If the draft is reinstated and you are called up and refuse to go you are subject to arrest, fine and going to jail. Other than that you life would go on as usual.


Sergeant
you become the DEMOCRATIC nominee and win the presidency twice. Why is everyone baggin on the republicans when their messiah Clinton was a draft dodger? lol *no i'm not a "republican" either just saying if your going to talk about one dont forget to look in your own closet for skeletons.

There is no draft.

Or are you referring to Democrats yelling about re-instituting the draft? They want it. You'd be prosecuted in that case. Why the thumbs down? You people have serious issues with "Truth" don't you? That's what I expect out of Liberals.


Tiny Tim
No one has the right to tell me that I have to put my life on the line. Also I don't have it in me mentally to go into combat. If I was in the military I would be doing something like cooking food.


Fran
I'd have to refuse as I'm a pacifist. I own my body, mind and spirit not the Govt. We all must resist these corporate tyrants or we will lose freedoms as did Nazi Germany.
