    Well first of all there isn't a draft anymore. So it's a moot point.

    But back when there was a draft, during the Viet Nam War, lots of guys didn't want to go. I had friends who moved temporarily to Canada, and others who simply didn't show up for their Army physical when they were called up, or who went to the physical and told them they weren't going. NONE of them were punished in any way. They were threatened, but nobody went to jail or lost their citizenship.

    A good friend of mine, ended up being my roommate, had the balls to go to his physical and say "I'm not going." They held him in a room for 45 minutes, then brought him into a wood-paneled office where an Army officer in full uniform sat. They said "Tell him what you told us." The officer browbeat him for about ten minutes, telling him he could go to jail for 20 years, he could get a felony record and never be able to work or own a gun, stuff like that. (He didn't threaten him with losing his citizenship. I don't think they can do that.) Then they let him go home. A month later he got notice that the charges against him had been dropped. And after the war there was a general amnesty for all draft resisters.

    Nothing now since Carter gave all the draft dodgers amnesty, and there has not (and, short of WWIII, will not be) a draft since then.
