Depends on the war.

Vietnam was a whole new level of pointlessness when it comes to war. I'd try and get out of that.
Honestly, fight the commies because they're commies? Yup, that's some American home-brewed "liberty" for you right there.

WWII on the other hand, I'd sign up.

I stay at home.

Because I don't have to go to war if I don't want to

Cry, I'm too weak to be in the army, unless if I get a job where all you do is run and don't get shot at, then i will be fine with it.

Meh, they couldn't use me anyway.
And even if they did take me, I'd probably be a... was it section 8?
oh well, something about a discharge or psychological health issues.
Woohoo! Easy way out! My brain hurts!

First cry.
Then Canada.

But then again it depends on the war.

For Vietnam I would go to Canada.
If it was WW2, I would fight, not very well mind you, but I would try my hardest.

If I completely ran out of options I would shoot myself in the foot. I'm a pacifist, I could never hurt someone.

Canada, since. I already live there and all it wouldn't even be a hard move. But honestly in a real war situation where Canada was conscripting (say WWII) and I was selected, I would likely serve. Assuming my health issues don't get in the way I'd join the fight and probably die there.

Really depends if I support the cause or not.

It would depend on the war. Vietnam was a disaster that the French got America into. I would want very little to do with that--since it turned into such a mess.


WWI/WWII though, I would do that.

Enlist, whether you like it or not it is your obligation as a citizen. If you don't like it too damn bad, you can't have all the good without accepting the bad. It is a free country sure, but there is no such thing as a free lunch. At least they don't make you serve in the military period.
