If a draft was passed, I would start to 'set things up' in Canada. No, really, I'm not kiding. I'm not going to fight for, what I believe are, the wrong reasons. I'm also not going to jail for the same.

REad through the article for better info, but there is no longer a way for students to dodge the draft, and anyone who has been drafted will be kept from fleeing to Canada through more extensive border control. And pretty much everyone from ages 18-26 gets drafted, except the really really rich.
