Anyone with any sense tried to avoid combat. Could be done in a variety of ways.
Join National Guard
Enroll in College
Barring either of those, join the branch of service least likely to put you in harms way. Ie....Airforce.......Navy.
I served in the Army 1957 to 60, joined the Navy in 63, served three tours on Yankee Station, and decided I would be happier as a civilian. I woud have certainly died in defence of my country, but I felt no compunction to be a sacrificial lamb. Not only that anyone with common sense passed on info that would offer the best chance of survival.
Answer the call, just don't be anxious to die, but if called upon, then serve with honor. The only ones I consider draft dodgers are the ones that fled the coutry.
Agreed, though I'd add those who manipulated the system (fake gay or fake med problems) to the dodger category.
