Draft dodgers used many techniques to avoid going to war. Some of them would leave the country with the intention of returning when the war is over. They would also stand on religion to avoid the draft.

Some men evaded the draft during WW1 by moving to Canada or Mexico, physically hurting themselves so that they would be unable to fight and would pass for "disabilities", or bribing the officers or drafting authority. Some people moved to other foreign countries like Spain or Britain..but most moved to Canada. Once u became a citizen of Another Country, you were taken out of the AMERICAN draft..but possibly put into canadian's draft..so either way if you tried to get out of the draft, it was quite hard, but possible.

Did Barack Hussein Obama dodge the Draft by relating to Indonesia?

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.
