Draft for War - Would you run? - Page 2 - GoFuckYourself.com

CDSmith · 02-06-2003, 07:22 PM

Yep, no question about it, war sucks. Nobody in their right mind wants it. But sometimes people who shout the loudest for peace are complete idiots too. Sometimes circumstances in the world leave a country or a group of countries no choice but to take action, serious hard-hitting action, in order to preserve the very freedoms that give peace-ralliers the right to protest.

Schwick · 02-06-2003, 07:53 PM

I do not think that they want a "draft army" right now. They want people that are willing and ready. Besides most wars now are not based on how many men you have to fight.

init · 02-06-2003, 07:56 PM

no shit im turning 19 this year, and id be damned sure they go after us first then any other age group, 18 and 19, plus where i live, there is an army base about 30 min away, mcdill army base or some shit, i always hear jets flying over my house within the past 2-3 weeks

The media is going to play war on this one, it will show the world how Americans will kill kids and women to survive. This will be a ground war.

You come back as a hero? Don't bet on it, there are already anit war demonstrations all over the world, and the "babykiller" signs have already climbed out of the long forgotten closet.

For those who are to young, for those who don't remember. Talk to some Vietnam Vets and ask them if they are considered heros.

And Vietnam was never a war it was a conflict.

I hope it doesn't come to it, but there are so many rights and religious people in the world and expecially in the US, Let the first picture of a dead child come over the american tv and sit back and watch the public spew hate slogans at the fighters of liberty, peace and freedom.

Watch and see!

Been there, done that, lost enough friends,, not going there again

Hey, I have an idea. While you are asking those vietmam veterans whether or not they are heros, why don't you try and convince them it wasn't a war...

I served with vets from nam (for a short time before forced retirement) to desert storm. No, none of them would consider themselves heros. While you do not think so either, to me they are heros just for ENDURING it. Same as any WOMAN to me is a hero for surviving an abusive relationship. Both very traumatic and some people never make it back to the real world in EITHER case.

If I could fight I would if the country asked, even if I personally did not think the war was right.

Now assuming there was a draft, is it not far to draft the women to? I mean they did demand equality right?

theking · 02-06-2003, 10:15 PM

I served for 12 years in the Army. I intended to be a 30 year man, but my career was cut short in the first gulf war. I was medically discharged in '92. Since I was injured in '91 I have lived with constant pain and will eventually end up paralyzed. I do not regret having served but I am somewhat bitter about being discharged. I could no longer be involved in any real physical activity but I could have served at a desk somewhere. That is not the military's way and never has been and will never be and I understand that, but I still have a bit of a bitter feeling. If I were fit and not beyond the age limit I would volunteer again. I regret that I could not have finished my career.

The US does not summarily execute those that refuse to serve (as I would) but there is an automatic five year prison term. I suspect that most, if not all countries, will punish those that refuse to serve their country if they are called upon to do so.

Sorry man, I suppose that in cases like Viet Nam where there is no visible "imminent" threat to your country then one could justify your position. But in times like WWII, where there was definitely a visible imminent threat to US soil both from Europe and from Japan, your position is way out to lunch.

You're telling me that if you were of age in 1941 that you would have rather layed down like a fuckdog than got off your ass and help defend your country's soverienty and freedom? I sure fucking hope not, because if you are, you are a disgrace and an insult to everyone who did.

And if there ever was a draft for this middle-east conflict, there would be a damn good reason I'm sure. The existing US military will handle things as they usually do, but if certain happenings came to pass, and things escalated to the point where your country needed to institute a draft, well....... if you dodge it all you'd be saying is that your own slimy worthless hide is worth more to you than your family, you friends, your community and your way of life. Fuck that shit.

Matt 26z · 02-06-2003, 11:50 PM

For all the young people in this thread saying they'd go.....

Are you prepared to get hit with machine gun fire, and as you are laying there in a pool of your blood, knowing you are about to die, say to yourself "this was worth it, it's for my country" ????

I don't think so. You'd be thinking "FUCK MY COUNTRY, FUCK THIS POINTLESS WAR.... Please, I don't wanna die yet". That is the reality.

You think soldiers at war are fighting for their country? They aren't. They are fighting for THEMSELVES and each other to live to see their wife, kids, family, friends, job, etc...

This isn't the movies. You don't go over there and kill kill kill and probably not get hit yourself, and then come back as a hometown hero. In a major war, good chances are there that you come back deaf, missing a limb, in a wheelchair for life, or worse.

Yeah, you may be missing both legs, but it was for your country! Right?

If you do not love your country why are you living there? If you do not benefit economically in your country why are you living there. Your country is not run by a dictator. You are free to leave it if you choose to.

Well, yes and no. Of course I'm talking hypothetically with regards to the present situation. WWII on the other hand was not hypothetical. The part that was, was the part about you living during that time, but it is a valid point. Back then there WAS a draft, and it defiinitely WAS to directly defend your country. (and mine)

I am surprised by your lack of patriotism bro. I'm a Canadian, but sometimes I get the feeling I'm more of a patriotic American than many Americans I talk to. And I think you are missing my point.

Tell me,... do you feel that your country is worth defending? Also, do you think it is up to you to decide which war your country needs you for? If 20 million arabic soldiers were to land on East Coast USA, my question to you is, would you get off your fucking draft-dodging ASS and fucking defend your nation??

If you love your country and are going to reap the benefits of living there do you not owe your country and countrymen something in return ie when the country calls for your service? In the USA if one hates their leaders and their policies then don't vote for them, but in the meantime one does not get to pick and choose what laws he/she is going to obey and what laws they aren't, just because you do not like your leaders or their policies.

He can just sub in "Australia" for "USA" then, and my question still stands. I really wonder what he'd do if, say, 100,000 Al Quaida terrorists invaded the Oz "gold coast". Would he go surfing, or hide in his basement?

Australia was probably LEAST likely to be affected directly during WWI, yet their country sent a TON of armed forces to fight the Germans. I've done a fair amount of reading and research on that war, and I don't recall there ever being anything mentioned about Aussies dodging the draft. Men from ALL the countries of Great Britain went to war to pretty much clean up the planet, period. That was one of the dirtiest bloody wars ever fought.

That's really not the point. That ficticious scenario goes directly to the question...... "if enemies were directly threatening your country, your city, your neighborhood, WOULD you fight to defend it?"

Just because you live in Comfortable US of A doesn't mean you couldn't have just as easily been born in a country where war IS a reality.

And never say never. No one thought Rome would ever be defeated or successfully invaded either.

G Sharp · 02-07-2003, 01:04 AM

Although the likelihood of a draft is rather dismal in light of the adequate recruitment numbers generated by the military, I would still answer the draft.

I personally think its hypocritical to enjoy the benefits of a society and refuse one's duty to defend it. My attitude towards this, admittedly unpleasant, duty is similar to my attitude towards taxes--I hate paying taxes, but I still do, because its my duty. Instead of not paying taxes because I think they are too high, I still pay them but make damn sure to vote Republican to help reduce taxes. That's the difference... disagreeing with a war is one thing, but shirking your duty to the society that has benefited you for so long is another.

HOWEVER, if it came down to needing a "home guard" to defend our soil, you gobbledy-god-damn BET I would fight like a wildcat. Issue me a weapon, I'm there.

Anyone who says they wouldn't fight to defend their own soil, their family, and their freedoms, deserves none of it. Only a fucking coward would hide when their country and their way of life needs defending.

I hope that answers the question.

** As posted in another thread, I believe Rose & I had the conversation.

Never though of this b4, but I'd have to agree 100fucking%, go and fight on someone else's soil, they'd have to drag my fat lazy ass all the way there, assumeing I didn't fail a physical, whihc I'm sure I would, or end up dead/in military jail, for beating to death someone trying to force me to do something I don;t want.

But, put some fucker in my home town or anywhere on Canadian fuckin soil, point me in the right directtoin and I'd kill the fucker with my bear hands if I have to.

They aren't. They are fighting for THEMSELVES and each other to live to see their wife, kids, family, friends, job, etc... This isn't the movies. You don't go over there and kill kill kill and probably not get hit yourself, and then come back as a hometown hero. In a major war, good chances are there that you come back deaf, missing a limb, in a wheelchair for life, or worse. Yeah, you may be missing both legs, but it was for your country! Right?

I personally think its hypocritical to enjoy the benefits of a society and refuse one's duty to defend it. My attitude towards this, admittedly unpleasant, duty is similar to my attitude towards taxes--I hate paying taxes, but I still do, because its my duty. Instead of not paying taxes because I think they are too high, I still pay them but make damn sure to vote Republican to help reduce taxes. That's the difference... disagreeing with a war is one thing, but shirking your duty to the society that has benefited you for so long is another. Just my

I would NOT give my life for international politics and western megalomania. If I was drafted, I would fight for my freedom, or die trying.
