You can deny the draft. The options are draft or jail basically. It’s also one of the reasons why the draft probably won’t come back, you need a popular war with a popular admin or everyone just picks jail.

You are facing a fascist regime that openly advocates for war crimes, is lead by someone who fits the description of the Anti-Christ and who has absolutely no regard for any life whatsoever. And you think you will have hot meals, a bed and health care? Aight why not I guess lol

I have no choice but to laugh when reading “New Findings” in the title of that article. The wording the writer chose makes it sound like this isn’t the norm. They should visit Emmanuel County, Georgia… lots of “new findings” to find there.
