Well hell.

If they do re-instate it, my ass is enlisting in the Air Force faster than you can open your draft letter. Giddyup.

I am not fighting in a war I don't agree with. If the try to re-instate the draft, I'm moving to Canada.

*Yawn* Yep, and you can join Steven Baldwin and Madonna who were gonna move up there if Bush got elected. Good luck finding them though, 'cause they're not up there. The "I'm moving to Canada" threats get really old, by the way.

If I got drafted I would go. I'll kick some terrorist ass to save America, if my country asks me to.

f3lix · 04-21-2004, 09:02 PM

Anybody who doesn't want to go should just go to their doctor and find something wrong with them. I can't be drafted b/c I'm asthmatic, so I really don't have a choice.

Mr. Blonde · 04-21-2004, 09:12 PM

Yeah, i also have athsmatic tendencies, I wouldnt let them know about them though. I have to agree with Professor, if it was down to a draft, i dont think i would have a problem going.

*College
I'll get my masters, and doctorate, and PhD, and Masters Masters before I go to war.

Mr. Blonde · 04-21-2004, 09:17 PM

Yeah, that reminds me, do they even draft college students?

You know, I don't think so. At least not back in the day of Vietnam they didn't.

They do draft college students, but try to get the 18-24 year olds that are not in higher education first.

Pliedes · 04-21-2004, 09:54 PM

I look at it this way. If we're in a war, the people who go are the members of the military who signed up knowing it was their job to go to war. But if we needed men to the point where we needed the draft, I look at it as my country asking for my help. America has given me so much, I'd be more than willing to give back.

Schroeder · 04-21-2004, 10:37 PM

If the country needs my help, they need my help. I'd kill for them anyday.

Ugly Bastard · 04-21-2004, 10:38 PM

Schroeder I couldn't see you killing anyone...less yourself.

If it's them or me, you better believe it's going to be them.

VOL · 04-21-2004, 10:56 PM

So they do draft college students? Even the 18-24 year olds, I though they still didn't draft them. If they do draft and I happen to get drafted I would go to fight for my country, however I'm not sure if having a surgically repaired knee constitutes me not being able to go.

Dr. Seuss · 04-21-2004, 11:28 PM

College students are definitely able to be drafted. High school doesn't even necessarily disqualify you anymore unless you're under the age of 20 and passing (so basically, unless you're an idiot, you won't get drafted during high school). I think if you have medical problems, you still might be used for the war but not the actual combat (note the "I think." I could be wrong). Canada is not going to be easy to go to due to the Smarter Border Declaration which was signed 2 years ago so that terrorists and draft dodgers can't flee or something similar to that.

I've seen lots of these conscription news things lately, but I'm not worried at all. A bill has to be passed to reinstate the draft (I think?) and if you do some research, you'll see two drafting bills that have yet to be passed. I'd say conscription will probably not be reinstated, but I guess it's not up to me to say what will or will not be reinstated.

StabMaster Arson · 04-22-2004, 02:17 AM

would I go to war if drafted? No.

BarryJive · 04-22-2004, 04:06 AM

Would I go to war for a just cause? yes. Would I go to war for any manufactured reason G. Dumb gives me? Hell no.

It's amazing so many people can be led to believe someone is blatantly unintelligent merely through subtle hints in the media.

I have had surgery 3 times and having that i wouldnt have to go....but the first time i would be contacted that i was drafted i would be out and fighting for my country.....There is only one song in this world that gives me goosebumps everytime i hear it and its the star spangled banner...and i would fight for that song or our freedom any day of the week if asked to

Saint DH · 04-22-2004, 01:58 PM

Yeah if I got drafted I would be out there killing motherfuckers everyday, or getting killed. Either way I'd be there.

Just thought I'd add this in here. The object of war is not to die for your country, it's to make that other son of a bitch die for his.
