‘Ordinary citizens do not want to be sent to a war with no end in sight’: Russian men consider exile.

Amid the threat of renewed conscription, some Russian men of fighting age have purchased plane tickets and are ready to leave if a general mobilisation is declared after the elections scheduled for 18 to 20 September.

Georgia, Armenia and Serbia are the most popular destinations.

Le gouvernement autrichien a l’intention d’augmenter la durée du service militaire obligatoire

World War Two was the archetypal good war. And ask any liberal, FDR was the archetypal good president. But don't ask Millard Lampell, Lee Hays, Pete Seeger, and Woody Guthrie -- The Almanac Singers.[1] They released Songs for John Doe[2] in 1941 and it's full of anti-draft, anti-war, anti-FDR songs, inspired by the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, the first peacetime conscription law ever enacted in the US.[3]

And are you afraid to fight, Billy boy, Billy boy?
Are you afraid to fight, charming Billy?
You can comе around to me when England's a democracy...

A very important post, coming from the broadest-based coalition in opposition to the draft in many years.

Don't want to be drafted? In many states (inc. CO, CT, DC, DE, HI, IL, MN, NV, NY, RI, UT, VA) you can opt out of automatically being registered with #SelectiveService
for #military #draft #conscription by asking for “X” gender marker (instead of "M") on your driver’s license:

"The way to avoid a draft is not to appoint and train draft boards, compile a list of those to be drafted, and automate the system to enable a push-button draft on demand — just as the way to avoid a nuclear war is not to build and deploy nuclear weapons and put them on hair-trigger alert."
