In the Ru-Uk war I’ve seen and heard of men asking their pals to break their limbs by either jumping or landing a sledgehammer on them. In Chechen\Afgan wars it was popular too, but also gasoline injections into muscles usually leading to amputations of said limbs. Dodging by behaving like unhealthy or insane was always an option, but as I’ve heard, since it became too popular, recruiting centers started to ignore any disability as long as they can drag you into a van. Are there other creative ways to dodge the draft?

    There’s the story of singer Ted Nugent who, like his fellow far-right “patriot” buddy Trump, dodged the draft during Vietnam. He apparently refused to bathe for months and kept shitting his pants so that they’d declare him unfit for service and it worked.
