I included those 3 because I think pretty much every country with a military has those in some form.

The US must be desperate for soldiers if I'm being drafted.

None, because I'm 47. Any country that would attempt to draft me would be so far beyond utterly fucked they'd never be able to enforce it.

Even when I was young enough I'd have 100% dodged. My father who'd fought in Vietnam swore he'd never let the military have me.

They wouldn't take me even if I volunteered. I'm disabled. Even if they were depraved enough to force me, I'd be too much of a liability to fellow soldiers. Absolutely no one with an ounce of sanity would want me on the battlefield. Even if I stayed at the base doing chores, I'd still be a liability. They'd be saving a ton of money and resources by not drafting me.

I'm too old for that, thankfully, but I would choose the chair force if it really came down to it

I like that there's lots of pacifist jobs available in the Navy... there's no moral objection to simply helping loading a torpedo

The United States has eight uniformed services: Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard, US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, and NOAA Commissioned Corps.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/5/50517abd.jpg

The NOAA Corps actually predates the Air Force; it was originally established as the US Coast and Geodetic Survey Corps in 1917. The USPHS Corps was formed even earlier, in 1889, and is headed by the Surgeon General (who, despite the name, actually holds the rank of rear admiral or vice admiral).

Can I get one of those jobs like helping with the medical staff or filing paperwork? I wouldnt mind doing that.

Putting me on the front lines though? That would be a disaster

I wouldn't make it very long without a pharmacy. So I wouldn't then get through basic training with any of them.

You're still actively helping to kill people in that scenario. That would be technical pacifism at best, or cowardice or laziness if your motives are just to avoid actual combat.

True pacifist roles tend to be stuff like field medic, logistical support, or admin - but even those bump up against the fact that you're still technically helping other people to kill people.

Medic, spotter, minesweeper, whatever is good

Any force that wants to draft my old fat ass is bound to lose due to poor judgement, so I'd defect.

Air force sounds like the best of the 3. In reality i would attempt to dodge and take jail over joining though.

Autistic people would probably be very good at operating remote-controlled drones or similar tech.

'Air Force'

When I was younger, I'd always say Air force, but today I'd say either that or coast guard.
