I quote Hawkeye from a Christmas Episode: Your failed draft dodger, Hawkeye. |

Since when was there a draft for Korea? |

neo - draft dodgers were huge in Vietnam. In fact they're an integral part of Canadian culture  It was an unpopular war and you didn't want to be flown over to beautiful Laos to become known as a baby killer when you got back. The stigmas attached to veterans following the war (by the anti-war lobby for being involved in a reprehensible war and by the war supporters for them losing the war) were seen before the conflict ended. Soldiers didn't want to come back to an America that wouldn't forgive them. |

...That was Korea, not Vietnam. Still love the theme song, though. |

Watch M*A*S*H*. You'll get the idea. |

I'm not too fond of the draft either, but 4 more years then I'm out of the draft loop for the rest of my life...unless law makers do something to change that
well, given how Jr. Bush's ratings are going, any announcement of a draft will surely not bode well for the public. Although, I don't remember the attitude for the draft for Vietnam... |

I would have medical deferments for a draft, likely... Still though, it's a scary thought, I don't think there should be a draft unless United States territory is in direct danger of military invasion... |

Figured I'd point out that he did say something, but he used an angle bracket which hid it - I think this was unintentional, since he didn't use a normal comment tag. |

I'm going to act like a mod, but... don't do that. Quote + no content = FAIL.
The issue with militias is that nowadays they're associated more with radicals than with legitimate defense. That, on its own, is rather dangerous. For instance, you could always volunteer to join a cult, but no matter how benign it may be, if it's called a cult, it's automatically considered bad. That, and most people are armed HOW well? I think the answer would qualify as "not very". Feel free to take your little band of random people against any trained military. I'm sure you'd have a fun time. |

I remember the day that I signed up for the draft, took teh asfabs, etc. Local guard recruiter had a hard on for me. My dad was pissed right off (ex-marine). If I even thought about joining my father would have broken my legs. Personnaly, I don;t like the draft. I have this issue with travelling to a foreign nation to kill someone on his own dirt. But I also would defend MY nation from invasion or attack. Its called a MILITIA. |

You got free meals? I just got irritating phone calls...
As for conscription/a draft... I hope not. I seriously hope not. I'm not good for combat. |

*L* Like i said, i dont remember whether i signed up for it or not, i really dont remember doing it. I was'nt always unfit for military service, there were about 4 years where they could have snagged me if they really wanted to... they used to constantly call me and harass me to join whatever branch of the military. I got a couple free meals out of it!
How about we just put all our ROMS online, then DEMAND we be charged arrested, and given probation! Actually, i dont have to worry about it anymore anyways  |
| Billiards Koopa Posts: 13/174 |
Hey, Jomb, I'll sned you a ROM if you send me one, and answer my above question. |

Ahh, the joys of being half-deaf and dependent on glasses to se shapes from seven feet away. Hey, if you're unfit for military service, dio you still have to sign up for the draft? |
| Jomb Posts: 222/448 |
No listen, its a great idea, we'll all get our ROM collections together and take them to the FBI and DEMAND to be charged and arrested
Thats how we stick it to the man!  |

Yes... it's brilliant! Becoming a convicted felon is obviously the BEST way to get out of the draft. Nothing like getting rid of most of your freedoms.
Rom Manic: The main issue with a draft would be that in order to GET that pension, sharpened senses, discipline, etc. you have to be alive afterwards. If you aren't, it kinda defeats any gains you may get. |

you could be become morbidly obese... or become a convicted felon |
