If I'm not mistaken, Cassius Clay, aka Muhammed Ali, went to the draft board and said "I'm not going" and served some prison time.

He didn't jump the border.

I think someone offered earlier the most appropriate viewpoint. Erecting a monument to people who deserted is probably not needed since they literally did nothing that would give us pause to remember them in any kind of light. They certainly weren't heroes.

Let them fade into the darkness of history.
