I think that they go to military prison, where I suspect thet are given a particularly hard time in order to act as a deterrent to others who have the same in mind. As is mentioned in the interview, guys are incredibly young and impressionable when the sign up and easily fall victim to the positive spin. This is a story of a journey of how one guy became convinced of the futility of these wars through his own enquiring mind. How many of us know for sure how we would act if faced with the same choice? Notwhithstanding a few saints out there anyone who feels that sure hasn't faced the choice.

There are only two types of human beings.

One type just wants everyone to leave everyone else alone and these humans are students and advocates of the Philosophically Mature Non-Aggression Principle.

The other type refuses to leave others alone and these humans are the Mobocracy Looter Minions with their hords of bureaucrats, jackboots, and mercenaries that perpetuate the perpetration of the loot and booty gravy-train. Rob-peter-to-buy-paul’s-vote bread and circuses of the doomed Amerikan Empire.

You are either the one…or the other.

In the 1960s a guy sweeping up the metal shavings from the floor of a machine shop could make ends meet. Today? The only way for a large percentage of the population to secure a full belly and a roof over their head is by enlisting in the military. DC knows this, hence no draft. It's not needed. Not to mention that whoever in DC brings about a draft will be commiting political suicide. Sooner or later those soldiers in today's combat zones will question the wisdom of "defending" a nation whose only offer of meaningful employment is to go out and kill people and destroy things.
