I'm glad to know that in case of a draft, I seem to be the only person actually willing to fight for my country. Everyone wants to do what is safest, nobody wants any risk, that's a good way to get our asses kicked.

No, most of the people like you are already signed up... like me.

Thanks to people like you, people like me will retain all of their body parts. If I get drafted, I'm off to a Western country that doesn't have great relations with the US. France, perhaps...

Wow... I was 100% ok when you wanted to choose the safest branch, at least you'd do your part. But to turn your back on your own country is just sad. You dont want to die for your country, fine I can understand, but dont turn your back on it.
The fighting soldier needs tons of supplies. The safest would be to serve in the Merchant Marine, they are part civilian, part military. They are the ones who ship the food/cloths/ammo/underwear/forks/magasines/etc, everything the soldier could possibly need.
I dont suggest the Coast Guard TBH, their work is to go where other people routinly die, and stay there to make sure others dont. To fix some previous statements, the CG is military in times of war, and was under the Dept. of Transportation until it got switched under Homeland Security.
Oh, and no there would not be a draft, so you can stop worrying. Unless America gets invaded, or somehow ends up going to war with Russia/China the political fallout and logisitcal nightmare that would ensue would simply not be worth it. The military as it stands is more than capable of doing what is asked for it, and possibly the best moral booster is everyone who is there is there on their own accord.
