I don't think the draft in the US is comming back - it would be a huge loss of face for Bush to have to draft soldiers, and a draft would turn public opinion against wars abroad. For Kerry it would be even worse, as he says his aim is to withdraw from Iraq.

However, should you ever need to dodge a draft I recommend developing a back problem. This method worked well for a friend of mine (though not in the US). You just walk for some hours (5-6 should do) with one foot on the pavement, and the other on the road - your back will tighten up, so when you are asked about any medical problems you say you get back pains often - then usually the doctor will examine you, and your back will appear crooked to anything short of x-rays - the brilliant part is that you don't have to fake anything to the doctor, you will be able to bend farther to one side than to the other, so if you have any flair for acting you should be able to convince him that you are surprised about how bad your back really is.
