Ignoring the current contents because it's basically just making a thing that already exists more efficient, don't forget that in the eventuality where you actually are drafted, you retain these options:
Conscientious objector. Some rationalizations can exempt you from the draft. Others will just have you thrown in prison, which is a much better thing to do than killing brown people living in some target of the US Empire.
Sabotage. Sure, do boot camp and eat the free food. Then pop tires, break engines "accidentally", etc. Historically, some people have even taken liberties with what to do about their commanding officer, often the one telling them to kill a whole village. But of course, I can't tell anyone to do that.
Leave the country.
