    You can simply refuse to deploy.
    No need to mutilate yourself or attempt suicide.
    Just say “No, I won’t go”.
    You’ll get a letter telling you where to meet your unit. Don’t go there.
    Or if you’re already with your unit, don’t get on the plane.
    Maybe you’ll spend a little bit of time in a jail cell, but even that is exceedingly rare.
    Most likely, you’ll just be dishonorably discharged to get you and your opinions away from the other soldiers as quickly as possible. You will then have to find employment with someone who doesn’t care about that.

      German instance

      Knows more about getting out of the American military than me

      I literally did that. I told them I wouldn’t go to Japan. They confined me to my ship until I attempted suicide.

      You are not all-knowing.
