What Will You Do If There's a Draft?

[LiddyRules]

I know odds are there won't be, but what will you do if the draft is reinstated?

[Buster H]

I served 6 years already

[Screwtape]

im flatfoot and astigmatic. id probably be a little nebbish communications officer

[LiddyRules]

im astigmatic. Does this mean we need to like pray to you?

[Screwtape]

Does this mean we need to like pray to you?

only if youre hispanic

[B54]

I would not mind being a field doctor in the Army if there is a draft.

[Ego]

I'm essential to ze war effort.

Seriously though, I was in four years ago, but not for very long. They seem to frown upon people taking antidepressants during training, so I was drummed out. I gave it the ol' college try though, and I have the papers to prove it. Now I'm hoping that I can contribute somehow in the private sector someday maybe.

[BeezerBlanks]

I dunno, I wouldn't cross the border but I'm a large fella with a bad back so I don't think they'd want me. If they said I was good to go I really wouldn't have a problem with it.

[LBF]

I'd enlist/get drafted. Been thinking about it, anyway.


Bring on WW III :icon_eek:

[Monster_Rain893]

Id take alot of acid and make myself go crazy

[ShooterMcGavin]

Aren't there excuses? Don't you need to have a certain eyesight and health?

For example.

I have only one kidney and my eyesight is completely fucked to hell. (I sound like the mother of that astronaut). I don't know if that would get me out of a draft, but my question is are there certain things that can get you out?

If I can't get out of it, it's Canada or Switzerland for me.

[joshjrounder]

Switzerland here I come. I just cant see any way I could go fight in a war that is pointless and unwarranted.

[patbattlefield]

i was going to go but when i was 16 i fucked up my arm so its not even a choice for me.

[Beeman99]

I'd join but there won't ever be a draft in Canada, so the only way I'd do it is if we were invaded, but the only country that would do that is you bastards to the south so we'd be fucked:action-sm

[AnimalMthr1982]

I'm active duty.

Most of the branches are where they want to be (the Navy is over manned).

If you're asthmatic, have bad vision or hearing, and a bunch of othet shit they won't take you.

[mikeybot]

I'm a little out of the range of what the draft prefers.

[robinquivers]

Too old, but if I was younger, I would go.

[Boba Dousch]

I have a pacemaker, so I am out. I'm like an 80 year old man in a 21 year old body...

[The Sarge]

Active Duty here. hehehehe...I said duty.

Anyways; I hope that there is NEVER a Draft.

If someone wishes to join they should have the choice...NEVER forced.

[d0uche_n0zzle]

Too old, crippled and crazy.

[The Sarge]

Too old, crippled and crazy.


Same here...however, I feel "old", almost crippled and yes...a bit looney.

I'm still in. hehehehe

I got this way AFTER I joined

[Exanimate]

What is the age that eliminates you? At this point in my life I don't know. When I was younger, I would have gladly gone. Now I have a family, and a life that I rather enjoy. I am basically the only income for my family, and I have people that depend on me.

I guess if I really had to, I would go, but I don't want to, and I don't agree with the reasons for going.

Take care of your family, first. You knew that already, though.

[THE FEZ MAN]

Too old, but if I was younger, I would go.

yea that covers me. but if the war to become a real war and accualy threaten the security of my family from forign invaders i would be more than happy to take up arms aganst them. as it stands now though i am opposed to bushes war for oil/god

[JonBenetRamsey]

when i registered for the draft i signed up for air force. they aren't throwing my ass in a plane. i'd be happy cleaning the toilets at the base.

[mascan42]

Why would they want a fat fuck like me?

[ShooterMcGavin]

I wouldn't survive a second out there.

*Jew voice* Ohh gawwd I have sand in my eyes and it's very warm I don't think I can last out here and I need some food I'm starving. This helmet hurts why do I have to wear it I'm not even in the combat zone yet what the hell are we doing can't we take a car or something my feet are getting tired. */Jew voice*

Seriously though I would just bitch and moan and get punched and no one would like me.

[Schmed]

The problem with the military these days is that they have to engage the ENEMY as if they are a state trooper pulling someone over that ran a red light, except in this case the person you pulled over has an AK-47 sighted on you.

It's fucking ridiculous that our soldiers cannot be soldiers. The fucking liberal media and ACLU is waiting on every chance to destroy our military, borders and culture.

They are a bunch of socialists who want World law imposed over the United States.

Don't tell me the soldiers are forced to treat people who are shooting at them with etiquette.

If you are going to fight for world peace, fight for it when no one is at war. It's a bit easier that way. But right now we are at war and if someone has a gun and is our enemy, we should shoot them.

Fuckin' hippies.

[ern]

Some of you guys sound like pussies. Fuck, if there ever was a draft again, it will probably be at gunpoint, and we are in deep shit, cause we probably fucked with the chinese too much.

8-80, blind crippled or crazy, anyone can do their part for self preservation.

Always remember 1 billion versus 500 million. 2-1 advantage, and they are crazy.

Well 500 million of them are probably making sneakers so it might be an equal ratio.

[Mommadeez4u]

My father, a retired US Marine aviator who served for 6 years during in the Korean war, talked me out of enlisting and set me on a path that today makes me a paleo-libertarian anarchist. My son, who is now 5, will never serve either. What does a Marine who fought with honor and courage have to say that would change my mind? That war is a racket (http://lexrex.com/enlightened/articles/warisaracket.htm).

[LiddyRules]

Some of you guys sound like pussies. I admit it, I am a pussy, but simply do not want to serve. I would try to get out of it legally but if not, Canada. I can do more to serve capitalism than I can to serve patriotism.

[Sutsu]

If there was a draft, I'd put my crap into storage and hope I don't go to basic anywhere too cold.

[edzeppe]

Take a Reciever.




Love, Matt Millen.

[Ballbuster1]

What will I do? Not a fucking thing. I'll be 50 in less than 3 months.
I'm too old and out of shape anymore. :icon_sad:

[Coffee Diva]

This poll is missing two choices:

1) 4F, baybeee!

2) Sit back and loff and loff.

I guess 4F could qualify under "get out legally", but I'd like to see the breakdown anyway.

I just broke the age barrier recently, so it doesn't matter to me. Semper fi, you studly young 18-year-olds! Hell, I like you, I'll let you fuck my sister! :action-sm

[Herbie Robinson]

I'm 22, just graduated college. If I was drafted I would enlist. Some kind of honor and duty thing I suppose.

[Halo Five]

I am 30... too old for the draft.

[MJMANDALAY]

To old to be drafted, but if another country hit our shores, I am there.

[tysonpunchinguterus]

I've got shitty eyesight, so I doubt they'd even consider me. Plus, I'm a skinny little fuck, so I'm not really cut out for military action unless they want to stick a flag on my head and wave me in the air. So, I chose "get out legally," because they'll accept openly gay guys ass-fucking each other on the tables in the mess hall before they accept my scrawny ass.

[spyderman]

Anyways; I hope that there is NEVER a Draft.

If someone wishes to join they should have the choice...NEVER forced.

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Yep. Cause the last thing I want to do is serve beside someone who didn't choose to do the job. In the eyes of the volunteer there is a negative stigma attached to the draftee. What if that person has to watch your back?

[THE FEZ MAN]

I am 30... too old for the draft.

i do beleve that during wwII they took men up to 35

[rustytrombone1]

Every once & a while, during the winter, there's a pesky draft that slips in under the basement door....I usually roll up a bath towel and block off the bottom of the door. Usually it takes care of the issue.

[Nothing Sound]

I know odds are there won't be, but what will you do if the draft is reinstated?


I am way over the age limit to be drafted.

No worries here.

[generoso]

Drive my son to his bootcamp...Than clean his room and rent it...

[TheClone]

They wont draft if your older than 32(unless you have already been in).I turn 30 tomorrow.If they do the draft I will reinlist.They need vets to help with all the new meat.I always vowed I will if they ever did it while my window was still open.

What about 4H ? I was in that when I was a youngster:action-sm

[Shaggz]

Other than being overweight, Im pretty healthy. But I don't know about being mentally fit.
I don't think they would put me on the battlefield, but in a office somewhere, maybe. But we all know that if a draft came about, they don't want office workers...

More soldiers mean more paperwork..Welcome fuckface lol.....I got more respect for a man that will join to get into admin than some limp dick that runs.

[AnimalMthr1982]

As I mentioned earlier, I'm active duty. If you're scared shitless of war, go to canada, there's nothing wrong with that, but to criticize the way we're approaching it doesn't help our cause. We are not like traffic cops; we are not impotent. Some of us service members are actually liberals, and love our country.

Man, I fuckin' love armchair patriots...

[Iron Duke]

I would not mind being a field doctor in the Army if there is a draft.

Are you a doctor already?

[Iron Duke]

After seeing Baghdad ER last night, I don't really know what I'd do.

[Harvey_Birdman]

No fucking way am I going to Canada.

[Deadbent]

I'm one of the LAST people they need to give a rifle to, training to further hone my body, and a license to kill worthless fucks. Seriously.
I'd probably be among the first in line for it and hope age doesn't factor in.

[fmeinthea]

I know odds are there won't be, but what will you do if the draft is reinstated?



Either:

A: I shoot my self in both feet and then do it again when they heal

B: Become a Canadian


I would rather have my throat cut than be a mexican.


Then again, Anything is better than going to the middle east to deal with those sand nig-gers.

[IRISHJERICHO]

I served four years but if my kid in 14 years was drafted I would send him to Canada and send him money. I feel the system we have now is fine this is America you should have the chose to fight or not.

[Sinn Fein]

Too old...

Don't forget fellas about the ol' don't ask, don't tell... If you are OVERTLY homosexual....

[NuttyJim]

if they had a draft i'd definitely go....i actually regret never serving in the military after graduating high school....for that...i feel shame.

[sclone]

I have celiac disease, so I can't go. For anyone who doesn't know (which is pretty much everyone), all that means is that I have gastrointestinal upset when I eat wheat, barley, or rye. For that, I'm ineligible for the war...

And if I didn't, my sister lives in Vancouver. Hi, Sis.

Call me a pussy, but why would I fight in a war I adamantly protest? Barring career military or volunteers, I think it's pretty brainless to fight blindly because it's your "patriotic duty." That's your choice, and if it's what you want to do, more power to you. But don't call my morals into question because I'm not so quick to sacrifice my livelihood for a war against an intangible end.

[Lil'GlubGlub]

I just pull out the old religion card.

I am mennonite and we can't be drafted.

plus I am asthmatic, have bad eyesight and fat.

[poppAwoody]

too old, but good luck

[ChrisH]

Unless the federal statute has been changed (which I don't think it has), you are out of the woods at 27 as far as selective service goes. So, at 29, I'm not worried. That all said, I would go in, but try to go JAG (I'm an attorney).

[Coffee Diva]

I'm pretty sure they pulled the plug on the "I'm too religious" scam a long time ago. You might be able to claim "conscientious objector" status and hope for a posting somewhere other than the infantry, but you'd better be able to produce evidence of a longstanding track record of hardcore religious activity. If you just discovered your god five minutes after you got your draft letter, he's not going to be of any help to you.<P>And either way, you won't get to stay home with a free pass based solely on your beliefs. If that letter comes and you're physically fit, you're going somewhere, even if it's just a mail room.

[THE FEZ MAN]

me too :icon_cry: i deeply regret not serving some days

[Bill]

If there's a draft, I'll wait until my nephews get drafted and then go laugh in my sisters face for voting for Bush. Then, should either of them get killed, I'll spend the rest of my life making my sister, brother in law and parents feel responsible for taking part in killing their kids (grandkids).

Yeah. I know I'm a dick. But, when I told you so, I told you so. When you don' tlisten, I'm going to shove that fact in your face...repeatedly.

[abudabit]

I'd let myself get drafted as long as we are fighting NK or defending Taiwan or something like that. No way am I get drafted to protect some camel fucker from another camel fucker because they have some 1400 year old fued about the nephew of Homohomad.

It's just insanity, we're protecting these assholes from each other?

[CM Mark]

Oh Canada, my home and native land!

[QueenOfRock]

In a way I wish I would have joined the military. The benefits are great. Although I don't support the reasoning behind the war. I do support our boys and girls over there loosing their lives because our dickfuck president is oil hungry..

Mennonites separate themselves from the govt.

in schools, they can't forces us to stand and say the pledge of allegiance,
because our allegiance is only to the church and god.

some of the stricter mennonites and the amish don't even have to pay taxes.

oh and even if they could draft me, they would probably deny me because I am fat and have asthma which worsens with humidity.


although the sneeky fucks could toss me in a kitchen.

[BCH]

Why I'd sit on my couch, drink a beer, watch CNN and root you young'ns on!

[Jimmy's Dignity]

I said get drafted but I think I'd get medical-ed out. A series of concussions, and a 6 week stay in the hospital for a broken femur back in the day
