    You largely can choose the provider of this service, but they will also choose you (or not).
    And you can not refrain from the service while being in the community of those that don’t refrain. In practice there are (nearly) no places where the community as a whole chooses to refrain.

    If you’re in a country with compulsory military service, make yourself interesting for other countries and leave.
