Depends on the conflict

I have flat feet and I'm nearsighted anyway so the military wouldn't want me

I dont think I can get drafted. First off, I have extreme flat feet. Sliding something under my feet is really hard. Second is I have another issue with my feet that probably disqualifies me

No. I'm not fighting someone elses war. Fuck that. Best case scenario I get scarred for life by seeing new friends die right before my eyes. Worst case I die myself.

Prison, but probably death by firing squad for refusing to serve in a WW3 situation.

It's just cheaper for the military industrial complex to execute you for draft dodging rather than put you in prison in a world war.

Both of those consequences are unfathomably stupid for a government to do.

Prison means you're using taxdollars to house and feed a draft dodger for a nonviolence offense when they could be used for whatever war you've dreamt up.

The latter is the same, but now you're also wasting time (appeals), money, resources, bullets, and an able-bodied person who would rather be paid to do some kind of manufacturing or production job for the "war" effort over needlessly killing other people. Oh, and it's unconstitutional if you live in the US.

Lots of people in the military wear glasses. I was extremely nearsighted and joined. That is a non issue. I also knew plenty of people with flat feet. If it doesn't cause a physical issue it is generally accepted.

Isn't it true the most important rule in the field for a soldier is keep your feet dry.

Having wet feet for as little as 24 hours can be devastating and could lead to amputation

Also whats stopping you from just intentionally failing the psyche test? They dont put people with implied suicidal or manic tendencies in charge of a weapon.

They reserve that privilege for civilians on home soil.

Im middle aged and able bodied but I believe I've served long enough to be exempt from from any draft now after my service.

As for if I would or not in the defence of my country yes. But absolutely not anothers.

Given the History of my countries wars after WW2...probably be a proud dodger. I am not crippling myself mentally and physically for some pointless war we shouldn't be involved in. If its not defending the country itself or killing nazis the army can fuck off.

Also I'm an ADHD Autist. I am not suitable for combat. If the siutation is dire enough that I could be of any minimal use in the army my criteria to give a fuck will have already been met anyways.

Trench foot historically is a huge killer/crippler of soldiers yes.

Pretty important rule.

I have a JD and have been told i'd get put into some cushy JAG spot if the draft ever happened. I'd probably do that.

Realistically tho if there was a draft it's bc shit hit the fan and they need bodies to soak up bullets and I would not do that
