    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.
