QFT. The Selective Service is NOT an option, it is the law of the land.

I am, but I didn't register until I was 20, and only did because I couldn't become a federal employee if I wasn't. Personally, I think forcible service in the military is a form of slavery, and I don't believe in it.

Could be worse, you could live in Israel for example heh. I'm not a big fan of forced service, but then again I'm not a big fan of war in general so...

I would not be accepted even if they did try to draft me.

And I seriously doubt deaf people would be accepted. You have to be in mostly perfect physical shape to pass the physical.

Yup, did it a few weeks after turning 18.


Personally, I think its bullshit calling it "Selective." I would also never serve for Bush, as I don't believe in how he handles things as the Commander in Chief.

Also, I would only serve in the air force, and also I don't think they would take me. I partially tore my achilles tendon 2 years ago.

as an American Citizen, should a draft EVER arise (very unlikely) if you are >=18 you basically HAVE to register at ANY time in history.

but meh, if it happens, there will be good reason for it too, and i will gladly serve my country as all men and women should in order to protect their freedoms.

Even though I'd be much more a burden than a help.

IIRC most of the DMV's report the information to the selective service so if you have a state ID or drivers license or purchased a vehicle you are registered.

 

[BigJ]

Am I registered? Yep
Would I serve my country if drafted tomorrow? Yep

 

[bersl2]

Not by choice. It's not like FAFSA was going to give me any aid for college anyway.

Plus, given all of my disorders, I would 4-F immediately.

 

[LcarsSystem]

Yup, but thankfully due to my prior medical history, if they wanted me to join I could give them a big fat "Fvck Off!" and the finger and they couldn't do anything about it.

 

[Mardeth]

I did expect more enthusiasm from americans "to serve their country".

 

[PurdueRy]

apparently I am...however, I don't know when I signed up...haven't voted or registered to vote yet

Bootcamp can fix someone being fat, but it can't fix heart conditions and things like that.

Though, if we were in a posistion where a draft was required, the standards would be quite a bit lower.

 

[I Saw OJ]

I am registered yes. And if they had a draft I would gladly serve.

That is a good point. We can make a Piecamp, to make the human shield more efficient. Idealy, the shield 'team' members will be as large as possible while retaining the ability to move under their own power.
