Well I can't be drafted anymore and I can't be recalled(8yrs in the Corps), I would maybe rejoin. It would require alot of thought though. Been shot at before, survived and I don't want to tempt fate!!
I'd go if I had to, but shit would I hate to do it. I shouldn't have to do it and go fight a war anyhow.
That's what we build nukes for...

If you love cheese you should try making salsa (uncooked) and grating some blue cheese in, MMM MMMM FUCKING MMMM!!!
Say there is a big war, with drafts etc, and for whatever reason you CANT join but want to help, what can you do? (question directed more at vets than anyone else)

If another 9/11 would happen (AKA plane flown into the just completed freedom tower) I would seriously laugh my ass off because of America being ""woken up in a rough way for the second time""
Seriously though if this allowed to happen AGAIN then someone other then the Muslims need to be shot!
On topic: No I wouldn't, absolutely not. I'll serve my time in a prison cell thank you very much, odds are I'd be a free man after a couple of years while all the other idiots are still having their heads blown off.

On the issue of the draft - I heard the wife of a marine call up a TV show the other day and request the government institute the draft to give the regular army a break. The stress of war is getting to them and they can't take it any more.
In fact, here it is:

I have way to many health issues to get drafted.
"if another 9/11 occured" that will mean a terrorist attack on the same date wich looks kinda stupid to me, but you never know with these people, they have strange brains....
and it doesnt really bother me (the drafting part) since im not american

I already did my time in the Sandbox. I've got 6 months left on the Inactive Reserve Program, If i'm ordered to come back then so be it. At this point in my life I really don't care.
I'm moving to canada soon anyway, so I guess that's a resounding no.
Oh, great news, as long as you're a US citizen they can nab you in Canada now. They learned from the last time. Best bet is to make sure you get into the Alabama Air National Guard.jonsimon wrote:

If it was an attack on England then i'd go without a fuss.
If you get out and are past your IRR time, they will still try to draft you back in.
Tip to vets: Tell anyone living at your home of record to NOT SIGN FOR ANYTHING addressed to you from Uncle Sam. It doesn't make you immune to the call-up, but it does give you some plausible deniability.
I got a wife freaking out about a week-long business trip to Ukraine, I can't imagine telling her I'll be a year in Iraq. Its bad enough I lost my dog last time, a wife and kid would be a bit much.

Why do people feel inclined to add one stupid, not funny option to the poll. Not only is it not funny it would therefore make your poll innaccurate?
I took the cheese option as "OUI OUI WE ARE ZE FRENCH AND WE DO NOT FIGHT"
I'm too old, so null vote.

For someone who knows nothing of how the draft works, you sure sound sure about your ability to beat it in court.TrollmeaT wrote:
The draft is unconstitutional & I would win in court if they tried to draft me. I wouldn't be forced by any means, but I would gladly volunteer with pay. I have friends in the air force & that's where I would go if it came down to it.
1. The Draft is constitutional. Arver v. United States, 245 U.S. 366 (1918); United States v. Holmes, 387 F.2d 781 (7th Cir.), cert. denied, 391 U.S. 936 (1968);
2. They pay you if you're drafted.
3. You're going to have to fight to join the air scouts, UnnamnedNewbie and I are taking both the BF2S spots.
Well it would be done by terrorists, who have no country or borders or...you get the idea. Will you blindly believe the government that Country xStan was responsible?Harmor wrote:
If another 9/11 occured and a draft was issued to go 'full force' (i.e. 1 million troops), against the country responsible for the attack, would you willing join the military or try to dodge the draft any way possible?
I mean, if it was like...how it was in 1939 Europe than maybe, but this is different.
I have some serious problems with the US government and its political wars and methods of fighting them.
I would serve if drafted and do so honorably. When any American citizen no longer feels they can live up to their civic obligations due to political differences with the government, they should either move to a different country or make war on our government.

If we went to war like we did after the first 9/11, hell no.
If we were being attacked in our own country, hell yes I would.
