Yeah probably but there won't be a Draft and if the situation gets dire enough to call for one then on the other hand I doubt you will be able to avoid serving in some capacity.

The biggest thing you can do to avoid the draft is to not build a time machine and travel back and live in any time before the mid 1970s.

Yes, but getting to 300 pounds will be more dangerous than possibly getting drafted. It takes years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to train a modern soldier.

Just get diagnosed with some kind of metal disorder as soon as they start up a new draft. Then when you get drafted and sent to get your checkup, you have a history of mental illness and they wont believe you were making it up to avoid joining.

Being 300 pounds will not get you out of the draft.

If they really needed people they'd still take you and have you work in a non direct combat role like driving supplies trucks or something.

You can avoid non-existent drafts just by being born in the right decade.

Almost three quarters of draft age kids aren't fit to serve. Drafting them only to process them and then get rid of them would be a massive waste of time and money.

They have't had a draft in years. If they were to bring it it would be by the time your children were old enough to be drafted.

I wouldn't worry about it.

These days even if you were drafted the only thing ensuring that you actually end up in the military would be some sense of shame about feigning some invisible ailment to avoid being drafted.
