Barack Obama was six years old when he lived in Indonesia. Even if there was still a draft (which there no longer was), he was too young for it. So, no, he didn't "dodge" the draft. Also, had no choice about going to Indonesia. He spent his first five years in Hawaii, but when his mom remarried, his step-dad was Indonesian, so the family moved there for the next four years. He then returned to Hawaii to finish his middle school and high school years.

By the time he was in his teens and old enough to join the military, the Vietnam War had been over for a while. There were no other wars at that time, and there was no draft either, since the US had gone to an all-volunteer force. Barack Obama went to college, and did not "dodge" anything.

What is the procedure if the Demand Draft is lost?
You can do something about the lost draft if you have the demand draft number. visit the branch where you took the draft and provide them the draft number. Also give them a letter with the draft details (on whose name you took the draft, the date, draft number, amount, payable city etc) and tell them that the draft is lost. As a first step, ask them to block the draft so that, the draft cannot be cashed by someone. As the next step, ask them to either cancel the draft and pay you money or re-issue a fresh draft.
