So all I have to do to avoid the draft is eat a lot of pizza and twinkies and play a lot of video games?

Awesome.

Sure. If you want to wind up working for 16 hours in a line assembly sweat shop.  >:D Then I'll just wait for you to thin down enough from all the manual labor to draft you. My plan is coming together nicely. *steeples fingers*

I think the army just needs to adapt to the new condition.  They could, for example, armor up the lardos and use them as a mobile line of cover...
