The Military Draft

**TJ Cline** · 12-23-2005, 01:21 PM

What would you do???? I am not talking about wars like WW l or ll, but wars like Iraq, Viet Nam, Korean, or the Gulf War. Would you go if you were drafted???

**min0 lee** · 12-23-2005, 01:25 PM

I would definitly does so if I didn't have 4 kids to take care of.

**DOMS** · 12-23-2005, 01:26 PM

If you're a Democrat, you cry, curse the Fates, and run to Canada.

**TJ Cline** · 12-23-2005, 01:26 PM

Now remember the rich kids dont have to go....just you poor slobs in the bottom 80%

**maniclion** · 12-23-2005, 01:30 PM

Already got that out of my way.

**dougnukem** · 12-23-2005, 01:38 PM

If you're that worried about being drafted into a war that you don't support, there is an alternative to running away. It's called a conscientious objector, and it's completely legal and legit. The military doesn't want anyone who might tuck tail and run during war, or refuse to defend them and others while at war.

Although I'm not a democrat, yeah, something like that. I refuse to be involved in a war in any capacity. Particularly not a war that I protested against in the first place.

I tried to sign up with the Marine Jag corp when I got out of law school but I have exercised induced asthma and that is a complete bar to the military. Of course I was also a semi pro cyclist in college but obviously I am not physically fit.

I guess asthma is the biggest bar for most people joining up.

(I do understand ashtma being a bar because you are morre likely to be affected by anything in the air like smoke and other chemicals. Of course I think there should be more of a screening process.)

There were Americans that protested the Second World War. After all, Europe's problems are Europe's problems.

We had a guy who made it 8 month's in the Navy before they found out he didn't have sweat glands.

Yea, they aren't big fans of asthma. Some folks can get waivered for it, but it all depends on how much your chain of command pushes for/against it.

For the record a draft was considered by Congress. It was brought up by 2 Democrats. And Republicans are the bad guys.

The gas chamber would kill you.

**SuperFlex** · 12-23-2005, 05:08 PM

There is a time and a place for war but this happens to be neither. Some things are worth fighting or even dying for. Stupid ass politics is not one of those things IMO...

For some reason, that's no common knowledge among the Dems.

**min0 lee** · 12-23-2005, 05:16 PM

I know more people who have served in the military who have no political affiliation than Republicans and Democrates....most only cared to serve their country.
Go figure.

Well, that's pretty much how we were going about it until Japan attacked us. Anyway, comparing WWII to this war is a little bit ludicrous.

That doesn't make a lesser bastard out of people who Republican. But yeah, that's why I vote 3rd party.

Of course not.

But there won't be a draft.

1 out of 535 Congressman have a son/daughter in Iraq.

I support the insurgents. I support road-side bombs. I support snipers.

The Americans in Iraq are fascists.

uneducated, poorly read, no knowledge of Iraqi history,

they deserve what they get.

**dougnukem** · 12-24-2005, 09:57 AM

Fuck you asshole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why don't you donate yourself and your family to be hostages. Just think, the beheadings will be imortalized as an AVI on the Internet.

Hell, I'll even take a dump on your parent's graves to say thanks for raising such an asshat.

so...if I read this right:
You say you are an American..yet...you want Americans to die...
You want our GI's to get shot and bombed? For the simple fact they they chose to serve in the military?
How about telling that to the parent of any service member that has lost their son / daughter / father / mother / husband / wife that you are glad that they are dead...
Men and women choose to join the military for one reason or another. Most do not wish to go to war. But, when called on, they go and they do the
WTF is wrong with you, man?

I'm not glad anyone is dying. I don't want anyone to do die.

But I support the insurgents. And, by any means necessary.

The Americans in Iraq want to oil because of increased Chinese demand, which is breaking records. The Americans have lied to many times:

1. Mohamed Atta never met with Al Qaeda in Praque.
2. Hussein never tried to buy uranium in Sudan.
3. There was no Al-Qaeda link with Hussein

I could go on.....
