US Army/Navy/Marines Draft in effect...You Showing up?

Whatever. All I'm saying is that it is my understanding that when there is a draft in the USA, you as a person who falls within that draft do NOT have a choice in the matter. I'm not arguing that it's right or wrong, I'm just stating what I know. They don't come to each person of draft age and say "Would you like to come help out?"... no, they send you a notice telling you to report. They tell you when to report, and they tell you where to report.

I can't see the issue being up for debate when a draft is being conducted.


And yes, it's a scary notion, but I suppose it's also a question of whether or not you trust your leaders enough to give them the benefit of the doubt when they obviously should have more intel on a situation going on in the world than you do. A threat may not be right on US soil but I can think of certain instances in history where a lot of Americans were willingly drafted and fought overseas for the USA and for the cause of world freedom. Good thing very few back in the early 1940's adopted your stance of "Well, the Germans arn't attacking us on US soil so fuck the draft. Once they get here THEN I'll fight"

However, I would hope that no future draft would be instituted without a similar legitimate reason as that of the WWII era.

Don't judge us all at once. I haven't been to combat yet, but I'd be hard pressed to say I haven't sacrificed something.

If you don't believe me, ask my wife if you see her, cause I haven't seen her months.

Semper Fi

Amen to that, I spent my whole career as a Network Defense Specialist. Had my own desk and worked monday thru friday, 7:30 to 4:30 you cant beat that, besides i did a lot of traveling for training, education, etc god those where the good times, then again I got to some pretty shitty stuff once in a while because of my low rank but everyone goes thru that, just part of the chain.

Try again. I just got out after two tours of iraq. They'd love to send your ass right over there.

Dont believe the shit you see on TV. Its war.

I will just leave the county.

I already did my time, FREEEEEDOMMMMMM!

I did 4 years in the submarine service, my daughter is in the Navy now! She wanted to Join the army at first, I told her that part of the uniform was a bullit proof vest, she went in the navy
