apparently in russia you can.
no such thing has ever existed in the US. i think they may have had a Draft in the olden times but i also remember people burning their cards and leaving.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 66212791 ***** Let me help the history challenged publik skrool grads. War Between the States. 1861....Draft. WWI 1917....Draft. WWII 1941.....Draft. All the way to 1973. Later, Pres.Peanut Farmer gave amnesty to the draft dodgers who had been drinking lots of fine beer in Canada. Being in the National Guard or Reserves was a legal draft avoidance for many during Viet Nam. However, you mess up and you might find a ticket to the regular military asap. Note: When the 'Police Action' ended, if you stood near a door at the Armory, you might have been trampled to death.
