I would fight for the USA, yes.

I'd rather join the USAF and fly fighters, that would be pretty sweet.

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.

There are enough people enlisted and in reserves that unless we plan a massive attack of Europe and Asia, why would they need to draft unskilled, unwilling people?

I appreciate countries like Italy that make their men do a mandatory year of service at the age of 18. But in the USA, we've got enough enthusiastic men and women in our armed services that we don't need Joe PotSmoker on the front lines, bitching the whole time.

I'd go. I wouldn't bitch all the time, though. I'd bitch only between the hours of 6pm and 7pm. I mean... 1800 and 1900.

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.

My brother is a Marine. He's serving his second deployment in Iraq now untill September. I'm debating enlisting when I turn 18, but he said I should get a degree first. Officers get badass swords and better MOS's. As for the draft, I'd have to agree with Triggar. I'd rather have somebody that has the courage to do what he was sent there for than a guy that was delivered unwilling.

I'd go over if it were required of me. I'm still deciding if I want to join the Army anyway. Icouldn't join the Marines, I dont have enough self-discipline. Oh well, id still have 4 years either way.

I would be joe potsmoker complaining about everything, so no, I would not go.

I dont want to kill anyway, not because I would break down, but I just dont want to end someones life like that. There are probably circumstances where I would fight, but this Iraq deal is not one of them, and I cannot stand the way the US military pussyfoots around talking about killing people, to help recruits deal with it or something? I dunno, maybe one of you guys can explain why we terminate the oposition instead of killing that dude over there.

Lets all go eliminate some targets, eh?
