Are you seriously claiming that if a guy receives a draft notice and turns up at a recruitment/induction centre, he can then refuse to sign on to the military, and just walk out, without any legal repercussions?


Yes. Make the appearance. Refuse to take the oath or sign the contract. The man in the video, George Gordon, knows a man personally who did this during the Vietnam war. When he stepped away from the oath line and refused to raise his hand to take the oath he was separated from the others and taken to a room where they shouted at him and threatened him for hours. It was a sales pitch that would shame a used car salesman, but he wasn't buying that day. He had no idea what would happen.... thought he would probably go to jail and was prepared for that outcome. He found out it is VOLUNTARY! At five o'clock they sent him home.
