Trying to pass the draft

Biohazzard56 · 2004-04-21, 10:27 PM

If they reinstated the draft would you want to go?

I'll go. People who don't are pussies who deserve to be deported TO cuba. If you don't want to serve your country and just sit back and leach everyone else's hard earned freedom, get out.

By the way, the draft won't get reimplemented it's just a scare tactic some stupid senators are talking about to get them some votes.

I'd go in a heartbeat. What pisses me off is people who wouldn't fight for the US but they say they would go and fight for cuba if there was a revolution in cuba even though they weren't even born in cuba.

Tell that to the 700+ American soldiers dead in Iraq.

I'm Canadian, and no way in hell is conscription ever getting reinstated here, so I'll keep my opinions to myself.

True. Alot of Soliders have been killed but not as many could have and we are pretty safe outside of the wild parts of Iraq I have talked to many soliders coming back and they say its secure and indeed that most Iraqis cant shoot worth shit. There are lots of problems in Iraq but the solider I have talked to say the media paints a doomsday picture on Iraq compaired to what it actually is. Alot of people are being kidnapped but thats in only one part.

Land mines don't need to aim.

True but alot of mines in the major areas have been swept, but you could always be just another weird statistic.

I wouldn't want to go...So I'm probably some pussy who hates America right? Hell no. I could never kill someone, I'd breakdown. Some people, commonly reffered to as "pussies" aren't meant for war. It would be much easier for me to kill myself...sorry If you dont understand...

BUGGER · 2004-04-22, 07:30 PM

No.

Its not our war.

But then i dont have a choice eh? Hopefully this will be done in 4 years.

I fight for lady liberty, not Bush......man i wish Kerry was better than Bush......

Well, war leaves a mental scar, doesn't matter how hard you try, it'll be placed there. Depends on how well you can focus it out. But that's the price of freedom.

AztecWarrior · 2004-04-21, 10:40 PM

I'd go, but my mom would kill me first.

Exception: I'd actually enlist in the USAF if we were to attack Cuba. My dad and entire family are exiles.

The draft hasn't been instated ever in Canadian history IIRC. If it has, it wasn't in WWI or later. It probably would have been if it wasn't for the french Canadians though. They were never willing to fight. in WWI, WWII or any other war. The amount of french compared to Canadians(notice how I didn't say french canadians or french to english?)is laughable. Allow me to pull a Nav and call them pussies.
That being said, I'd go

Yes, conscription has been instated in Canada. 1918, WWI. And the French didn't want to go because they saw nothing to gain from fighting in the war, which was kind of true, as this war was none of our business. The only reason Canada joined is because back then we were Britains colonial bitch.

We had reasons to go. First, we were still part of Britain, second, it was a reason to go and stop unwarranted aggression against our ALLIES.
Second, the conscription act was instated, uninstated, instated with exemptions for the french and instated before it would have made a difference.
The french basically stayed out of the draft and caused it to be cancelled, sending all who didn't want to join home, and then bringing them back but before it amde a difference
Doesn't really count as full conscription other than it being on paper IMO.
