What if they reinstate the draft? Will you flee to Canada?

On the other hand...

Although I'm probably too old to be drafted, I wouldn't dodge, but I wouldn't be in combat either. I would be a medic or take on some other support duty. I have a lot of laboratory training in biodefense so maybe I would participate in some sort of biowarfare protection job.

 

RE: if they reinstate the draft then i personally invite war protesters to come live with me up here in good ol' canada so you dont gotta fight against your will

You do indeed.

Martin will send em back.

First thing Bush, Cheney and co. did was close all the loopholes they used to get out of the draft.

 

I really do not appreciate negative chat towards canada. I am a Russian-Canadian, and after experiencing the harsh reality of an incredibally corrup country, i have found Canada to be absolutly magical and should not be looked down upon, as i do not frown upon your country or any other.

Appreciate the blessings we have in north america and do not diss your neighbors.

peace and LOVE

Who cares?

Its a forum, we'll say whatever the fuck we like...get lost if you can't take it.

 

instead of running away from fighting a battle you dont beleive in, why not stand up and fight for your beleifs?

 

wow... what a horrible thing to say...

 

ellielifeis: It's called free speech. You neither enjoyed it in Russia nor in Canada.

And by the way, until very recently here we had the right to own property, unlike in Canada or Russia.

Only difference is, here people protest. Canada sings folk songs.

 

I think the maximum age is 34...they recently changed it as the cut off age to enlist. I dunno if the draft would vary from that.

Though if draft is reinstated they'll go for the younger generation first.

I'll amend my statement to "get lost," you don't even have a clue what this thread is about.

If you grow up in shit, you'll think piss is gold, take off the rose colored glasses.


Nobody is ripping on Canadians, just saying they aren't running up there if there is a draft.....and if you'll notice, I was asking aboutplaces in Canada I've never been to, I just said I didn't like Vancouver, and I don't feel bad about saying it either...I also was not stating that the US is better, because I'm not an idiot either.

Now cry.

 

i simply wont go to the military, ill stay where im at

 

localhippy - You do realise that you will be going to JAIL if you do that, right?

 

^Is correct. The police will come and arrest you.

 

It's amazing how few people actually know things.

"Well, if there's a draft, I'll simply say no thanks."

??????????????????

Does this explain American voting patterns?

Real ID - Well, I will simply refuse to be fingerprinted and get a National ID card. I'm sure the rest of society will simply allow me to opt out, just as how I can get on a plane without a passport or other similar ID because I don't believe I should have to.

 

I' either dodge and go into hiding or I'd go into the military then get caught by an officer whilst in the middle of some hot sex with another girl in the bunkers! Getting laied, and getting kicked out of the military... it sounds like a good plan to me! ^^

But then again I'm a stubborn ass, and would probably get kicked out for not obeying orders (I have enough trouble abiding by what my school asks of me., so how can I be expected to comply with a military system which I don't believe in nor want anything to do with?)

 

i'm just being stubborn, i know they would come after me. If the IRS would come after you, dont you think the military would? DOH

 

I've read it already, but I just wanted to confirm that there will be no draft instilled. There are too many willing young men and women who want to fight for what they feel is their country and their freedom, when really (read this already too) they are fighting for oil.

This world is too greedy. I'm going to join the peace corps, who is with me?

 

In 8 years my oldest child will be 18. There have been many restless nights lately thinking about this very issue.


They say this insurgency could last 12 years, considering how inept this whole Iraq thing has gone so far one could only wonder, besides you know Bush has his eye on Iran and Syria. Another warmongering president would do it in for the volunteer forces, just not enough to be that ambitious.

I served in the military years ago and that was my choice. Of course I learned how full of shit the military is. Psychotic fucking nuts crazy to believe that bullshit, at least I had some good "high times" of my own during my time in.

I always wondered what if any courage I have, but when it comes to my kids there is just something internal that clicks in me, something ancient and primal. I will spend time in prison or my blood will spill before I give up one of my children.

So much of our personal freedom has been stripped away and with the war going on I would sure like to see the whole movement ressurected again. I guess since I am getting older I get a little more onerier. I say fuck em more than ever.

 

Canada is awesome. If they reinstate the draft, I'll definitely be heading over there. I predict that if they reinstate the draft, Canada's population will have a small boost.

 

Id rather put a bullet in my own head than fight over some assholes problem, give bush a gun and send that bastard out, let HIS ass get filled full of led.

I love canada *kisses soil*...yuck

 

if I couldn't get out on four f I could manipulate the system to get out on crazy........


that would be fun..... make the military think I'd want to shoot up my unit....
