I'd say most people (certainly not all by any means) who are in that age range and are eligible or those having relations or connections with those who are eligible will generally say "no thanks" to being drafted... not that they wouldn't go, but would hope they don't get drafted. And to be honest, if people wanted to get drafted, they'd probably have volunteered
The other choices I find are often just legitimate answers that ice the cake for those who are eligible... not that they're wrong (indeed, i agree that most of them are correct) but they're just convenient reasons/even excuses
