Regardless of your reasons for joining the military, one thing needs to be perfectly clear: the military exists to fight. You may join for college money, to get out of a bad home, or any other of thousands of reasons. If you aren't prepared to fight for your country, however, the military is not the place for you.
There isn't an ounce of respect in me for anyone who runs away to Canada after willingly joining the military. If there's a draft and you have your reasons for not wanting to fight, I'm not going to stop you from running away. I wouldn't want someone to get drafted and have to watch my back in a firefight.
