I'm not in the military, and never plan to be. If there is a draft I am moving to Canada or Finland.

Seconded.

At least under the current administration. I will never go to war for someone I can't trust (which is pretty much government in general.. so I guess I will be going to Canada.. hoorah!)

The whole war thing is very immature and childish, these people need to grow up and realize that killing people is not the answer to anything.

Video games only..ftw

I'd join the Air Force if my eyesight was perfect, cause then I'd have a shot at flying jets.

I'd join the Army to operate Apaches.

I'd join the Marines to operate Super Cobras.

I'd join the Navy to fire missiles hundreds of miles away from the target.

Army has a nice uniform too. Yeah, if there was a draft and I was eligible to be drafted in, I'd sign up for "Apache Pwnage Krew" as quickly as possible, preferrably Warrant Officer training. Might as well get a half-decent pay for putting my life on the line so people can do stuff in the US.

If you join the Navy you can fly off carriers AND they will pay for your laser eye surgery.

Oh and to the guys that said they wouldnt be drafted if forced to, you guys make me sick and embarressed to be an American soldier. I suppose its ok for you to reap all of the benefits of our free country but you wouldnt sacrifice your life to preserve them for others. Thats so fucking selfish.

Go Navy. Missile Technician Second Class. E-5. Sub Service. SSBN's. 5 knots to nowhere. Good times.

Karma to the first one who knows what "BOCOD" stands for.

Even better then. Second hand knowledge. Pun intended.

Months under the water affects your sense of humor. 120 guys trying to pick on each other and drive each other crazy is kind of fun though.
