To the OP, I don't think I've seen you answer the question of what happens if you show up and refuse to take the oath. If you go to jail as a result, I would call that force. Force isn't necessarily physical violence. The threat of prison can be just as coercive as the threat of a serious ass whoopin'.
Quoting: Rev-boI know what happened one time.... just once. I've never heard of anyone else trying this. How many have? How many are aware of the possibility? The voices of disbelief here on this thread are a demonstration of this lack of knowledge and the effectiveness of the draft sales pitch. What would be the harm in trying this in a draft circumstance? It might really work. If it didn't and prosecution began one could always change their mind if they were so inclined. All the draft resistors I've heard of, except this one example I mentioned earlier, failed to make an appearance and went to jail for this. It is the appearance that is important. Nothing more. Make the appearance. Do not take the oath. Do not sign the contract. IF it is something one does not wish to do.
