Are you registered for the draft?

And do not want to go back again

True, very very true.

So did I, its kinda sad.

It should be noted, however, that ATOT does NOT represent the majority of the American people.

That said, I am registered for the draft, but since I enlisted on my own 4 years ago, its kinda irrelevent.

Yes, but not after this year.
Yes, I would go (it is your duty as a citizen and unless your government is doing genocide, you should go). But considering my knee injury, I would probably be a non-Com. I wouldn't mind being a medic although they are in some dangerous situations a lot.

Yes but I've got a question.

Do you get bonus points for shooting them in the face?

i believe a voice from an undiscernable location yells out "BOOM HEADSHOT" but i wouldn't know from experience.

have fun resisting, might as well go and kill some ppl.

 

[Tobolo]

If called. I will answer. Fredom isnt free.

 

[neutralizer]

Yes, I'm registered, as for going, that depends, is there someone announcing "headshot", "multiskill", "godlike", etc?

 

[Reckoner]

Hell no I wouldn't go

 

[Excelsior]

Of course.

 

[thirtythree]

Yes and probably. I wouldn't want to though.

 

[skyking]

I registered the first time around I don't think I need worry about getting drafted anymore.

Uhh...during a draft, I don't think they ask you if you WANT to go. What are you going to do? Hole up in Canada until things cool off? That'll help attract the chicks

I registered when I turned 18. I'm not sure if I am now. I think I'm too old for the draft now. What's the cut off age?


As a side note... I found this particularly infuriating:

ATTENTION, UNDOCUMENTED MALES
& IMMIGRANT SERVICING GROUPS!

If you are a man ages 18 through 25 and living in the U.S., then you must register with Selective Service. It?s the law. You can register at any U.S. Post Office and do not need a social security number. Be sure to register before your 26th birthday. After that, it?s too late! Selective Service does not collect any information which would indicate whether or not you are undocumented. You want to protect yourself for future U.S. citizenship and other government benefits and programs by registering with Selective Service. Do it today

Good grief. Why won't we just deport these people? The ones who volunteer for the Army in the hopes of receiving citizenship I don't have a problem with. But the illegals... just send them home.

Sorry... Didn't mean to hijack the thread. Just something that caught my eye on the SSS link in the OP.

heh-heh...I turned 18 while serving as a US Marine in Vietnam. For sh!ts and giggles, I sent in a draft registration anyway...needless to say, I never got called, even though my number was fairly low the following year...
