Do you really think we'd stand a friggin chance if they tried to draft teenagers from the United States to go to war?

I can see it now.
Draft Agency knocks on the door, hear a faint yell from within, "Who the hell is it?"
They say, "The Draft. You've been selected..."
"I've been selected to win a 50-gallon keg of Miller Genuine Draft?!" The door opens 1.2 seconds later.
A scraggly, unshaven teenager appears in his bathrobe, cheese-doodles still stuck in his chest hair.
"Um, no sir. You've been selected by the draft to serve your country in battle."
"Oh, dude, I'm can't do that right now. I'm busy. I'm on level ten of Rogue Spear and I'm about to take out the assassin sniper. Sorry, man."
The door slams, and the agents hear the familiar tinkle of sniper shells falling to the ground.
"Damn. Another one. We've really gotta start drafting chicks."

Does anyone out there think the draft would be a good idea these days?
I'm putting my money on No.

What you fail to realize is they'd be following you in & dragging your ass out.

;)

While I seriously doubt we will see a draft, I would go if selected. Of course that's easy for me to say since they wouldn't take me anyway.

the kids my age (17) that are slackers would shape up if drafted--they really wouldn't have much of a choice. I would definitely serve my time, and maybe stay in if I liked it. I've thought about joining anyways.

I don't see draft being re-instituted any time soon. And if needed, it should be
implemented as a last resort. Military isn't for everybody, I've seen too many
young kids fail miserably and ended up with BCD and DD.

not everyone alive that is a teenager is a slacker. and i bet there were just as many 'slackers' when you were a teen as they are now.

We survived WWII and Vietnam. We'll survive this one. Slackers always existed; they just manifested themselves differently.

If they bombard the living daylight out of Saddam's forces. Chances are this one will lasted just like the Gulf War, with minimal US casualties.

My biggest fear about being drafted isn't getting killed...it's getting killed before I can even make a difference.
Although I suppose in the windup, every life makes a difference.

I think the only reason politicians want the draft is so that people will have even more reason to protest a war. No reason to protest if you aren't going....

anywaysssssssssss, I'd go if I was drafted, don't wanna live in Canada and I don't consider myself a slacker. However, being 18 and college-bound, I don't think I'd be first up for the draft.

(note: this only works if you're a college grad) when you get your draft card in the mail run to your recruiting station and tell the dude there you want to sign up. they get a bonus for signing up college grads (officers) so they might overlook that your draft card was already mailed. at least, they used to.
