      As opposed to to your life ending in a few short months on a battlefield?

      Sure. Why not.

      It doesn’t have to be Sth America. US men dodging the draft were given political asylum in Canada or Sweden during the Vietnam war and an estimated 60-100,000 fled the US.

      So it is actually:

      Decades in another modern western nation or weeks/months on a battle field?

      Easy choice.
