Are you serious?  Presumably these laws apply to intentional actions
directly aimed at avoiding military service, say, chopping off your
foot after receiving your draft notification or later when in the
trenches.

They don't apply if you tattoo yourself in day-glo or chop off your
foot for personal preferences and it later happens to turn out that
you are unfit for military service due to these body modifications.
