Sure. I didn't like the war in general and for sure didn't want to be in the Army or Marines. My plan, if I had drawn a low number, was to join the Navy before they could draft me.
My dad didn't like the idea. He lost his uncle in WWI, his father never recovered from lung damage in WWI (finally died when dad was 6), lost a brother in WWII, a nephew in Viet Nam, and himself permanently disabled in WWII and never properly compensated.
