If ww3 starts, I'll be searching the same. I will not die on foreign soil.

  Don't worry. If it's truly the start of a world war, chances are you can die on your home soil.

    We in London should be safe as it's mostly owned by Russian oligarchs ...

      I’m really sorry to break it to you but the Russian state tv already proclaimed that their first nuclear targets should be London and Germany.

  As a conscript (yep, in real life), I've found the practice of conscription questionable and have during service heard anecdotes of ways that might seem strangely humorous to render themselves less useful in the military. While I have not attempted anything more unusual than calling in sick on days I feel absolutely flat (I am a human being not a machine, mind you), my fellow conscripts and I were no strangers to stories of broken limbs and other ailments. Notably, it's not uncommon to come across fit-looking folks who were active in some sport back in school and outside of military facilities being medically unfit for military service. As someone who has this burden to bear (yep I get how this is related to national security etc.), I just don't particularly fancy this responsibility. There's a part of me that wishes I didn't exist if I could have things my way. Forced conscription/enlistment is a hell of our own design; a necessary evil as some say. I hope future generations come up with better means than mandatory human enlistment (maybe enlist machines instead).
