4.b. Can you come up with any and every excuse to get out of this without being laughed at

 ("No one should be drafted" - when you would be the first to cower in the corner and demand 

that someone do something if China & Russia combined and attacked full force - and "If men start wars ..." 

when women are the majority of voters and the expression is more likely "Men are SENT in wars ..." - 

exactly what you're trying to get out of - 

and sometimes sent by M.Thatcher, G. Meir, I.Gandhi, B.Bhutto and others).
