I know this is going to come as a shock to you, because, you are probably NOT an American.
But in America, there is this tradition, especially ever since Lysander Spooner published his writings.
The thing is, THE STATE? IS NOT ALWAYS correct, in its proscribed policy. This is why we rebelled from the monarchy. The monarchy IS NOT, divine, thus, its wars, necessarily, were not divine either.
Being a "draft dodger," since each and every American, is a sovereign unto themselves, is perfectly fine.
The STATE, does not OWN the people. Only in a place like Britain, are the subjects property of the crown, would something like, "draft dodging," be a. . . "heresy."
For a real American? A real patriot? Dissent against a national policy that a person truly feels is evil and wrong? IS A DUTY! It is necessary for the health of the community and the state, especially if the folks that are in control of the national government are corrupt.
SO? Brushing it under the rug? Is just fine.
Only a limey would not understand this.
This is why Americans are better people, and have superior culture and government, than the British. You best understand this, before you stick your nose in where it doesn't belong.
