Germany has quite the culture of draft dodging.

I remember all kinds of stories. Smoking like a chimney and getting drunk as fuck before and dressing like a tourist with a camera as you enter the mandatory meeting thing.

Of course the criteria to get drafted are different through places and time, but try to figure out the process, and what would eliminate you from getting drafted.

Also, it’s literally in one of those declassified CIA handbooks, that one of the ways to hijack an organisation from the inside is to be incompetent as fuck. Eager, but incompetent. Report any meaningless thing that technically is report worthy, to clog up the pipelines, make meetings way too long and talk about meaningless details.

I have depression. Good enough excuse?

Also my BMI is kinda um… actually by American standards they might just draft me anyways lmao.

But my vision is shit, literally can’t aim if I don’t have glasses.

May I be excused, Uncle Sam?

  I was gonna joke that you could show up as a raging trigger-happy and bloodthirsty gun-fanatic. But in the current climate, that is probably a rather qualifying factor.
  
  In all seriousness, if this is important to you there is no way around doing your own research. There are always ways.
