Honestly not sure how easy it is to actually stay out of the military when there’s compelled service in any country.

Don’t know about other countries, but in Apartheid-South Africa it was a very difficult thing if you were male, white and not rich. When I was a kid in small-town South Africa there was a conscientious objector living on our street. He was disabled - they had beaten him to such an extent that he was brain-damaged.

For the rich it was pretty easy - just ask Elon.
