He went to Berkeley on a full paid scholarship, and he eventually supported the same mother who threw him out of the house.
She hated him for becoming a Muslim, but it was only him becoming Muslim that propelled him to Berkeley and allowed him to make enough money to support her, even though she stopped supporting him for that year when he was on the streets. It was Islam which made him a good student; before that, he had been a thug.
Once he started supporting his mother, she then softened towards Islam, and when I was there, she was on the verge of converting. I don't know if she did or not though. Subhan-Allah!
Look how Allah [swt] works!

That is an amazing story.
ameen to your duas. Let me make my position clear, if I were drafted, it would be in extreme circumstances and then I would delay the process by appealing as a concientious objector. As a Permanent Resident I don't think i'd be asked to fight for this country.
I would either work as a non combatant or be sent to jail or deported.
