War

Deuteronomy 20:5-7 Then the officials shall address the troops, saying, "Has anyone built a new house but not dedicated it? He should go back to his house, or he might die in the battle and another dedicate it. Has anyone planted a vineyard but not yet enjoyed its fruit? He should go back to his house, or he might die in the battle and another be first to enjoy its fruit. as anyone become engaged to a woman but not yet married her? He should go back to his house, or he might die in the battle and another marry her.

So, the ways you could get out of battle were: build a new house, plant a vineyard, or get engaged. It would be amazing if these were still the rules. The day the president says we're going to war and there will be a draft there'd be lines around the block at home depot and Zales and a lot of happy ladies out there!
