Many conscripts went to other bases, Germany, etc. If you are investigating the "draft dodgers" then I think that a general amnesty was granted in the late 1970's. I came to Sweden in 1970 but was not conscripted as some of the Americans who came here then were (There was a lottery and my birth date was way down the list).

∙ 11y agoIt depends upon the reason for the refusal. In the US there is a class called conscientious objector, who have religious or moral objections to war, who are not compelled to join the army even when other people are being drafted. However, if someone is deemed to have evaded the draft for selfish reasons, not wishing to serve their country at the risk of their own well being, those people were sent to jail.
