If you are a young US citizen, this effects you.

Remember that when it is voting time !!

"The Nebraska Republican added, "those who are serving today and dying today are the middle class and lower middle class." The draft, he argues, would spread the responsibility of military service in Iraq equally among all Americans. "

That is the biggest load of bull sh*t i have ever seen, still the wealthy will be protect..."no matter the cost". Oh well, thank god i live in a country of pu$$y's, O Canada!

long live canada!!!!

Maybe it is time to ask if GWB will be sending any of his kids ?

I think not !

I'm not worried. I'm an only child, plus I'm legally blind without my contacts......

No draft for me...

Remember those words when you are being shot at, when you are in pain and dying.

Do you think your last thoughts will be: "I may be leaving my wife and kids behind to fend for them selves, but I'm committed to a cause I really believe in". Or maybe it will be the grief of your parents, or may be it will be for the fat cats who, through your supreme sacrifice, you are making richer !

Remember what you are fighting for !

Funny practice, the government denying you your most basic liberty, especially in the land of the free !!

So true...seems a shame that the draft is blind to all that. Consciencious objection should be a little easier to obtain I concede.

I also have that and don't know how to spell it, but there haven't been any symptoms since 2nd grade.

If I'm ever presented with a real threat of a draft all I'll have to do is lose two pounds and I'll be below the legal weight for military service.

hey, if the time comes to where I have to serve my country then I will..
(unlike some who have some lame excuse like "oh ill just loose 2 pounds so I wont serve my country yet I demand all the rights it has to offer" or "I dont believe in fighting" or any other excuse thats outside medical reasons)

Oh I will remeber what im fighting for. Perhaps also I will use the free time I'll have in the army and "remeber" Grade 3 English.

I will also remember the nice people on this forum whom I love very much, almost like kin, in spite of their complaining about the war and how bad the military is. Although, I wonder if they would really do a better job if they were president? Hmmm... my flights of fancy are becoming more and more frequent.

Ah well, perhaps I've had enough of this forum... maybe the administrative personnel would care to ban me?

I guess I shouldn't worry about my song getting me banned then? This is pretty offensive here. Even though I would fight if the draft called upon me to do it, I can see the reasoning behind not wanting to other than being a "pansy" as Ketsueki likes to think. By the way, how many times did he circumvent there?

Show me another Hitler and a World War III and I'll proudly dive into the front lines to defend my family, friends, country and freedom.

Show me a false war and a shadow enemy while lying your ass off and I give you the finger and tell you to dig yourself out of the hole you dug.

I don't think you understand, for a long time I wanted to join the military. The trouble was my body comp is 5%, I weigh 104lbs (I'm 5 foot seven) without my baggy clothes and boots, and the only way I could ever make the legal requirement (109 lbs) would be if I stood on the scale wearing a trenchcoat with bricks in the pockets.

The army has already turned me down. The two pounds off would only reduce the chance of trickery if they changed their mind because I know their measurements often deviate as far as seven pounds from the truth.

If they don't want me willingly don't you think it would be lame for them to force me in?

Serve your country? More like serving the whims of the most fundamentally radical administration this nation has ever seen. Flag wavers hate it when you question motives. This us vs. them mentality will only serve to further exacerbate an already precarious situation.

Freedom fries anyone?
