Trying to pass the draft

[Cryptica]

If they instated the draft and it looked like I would get drafted, I would sign up for the Navy first. At least then I wouldn't have to be on the front lines. I'm all for serving my country, but I'm also all for surviving. Besides, my whole family is navy, and my dad would kill me if I ever went into the army, lol.

I can tell you that the draft probably won't be initiated anytime soon. The AF is actually cutting 13,000 troops. The quality and quantity of the volunteer force is very good and probably won't need supplementing.

Oh, by the way, did I mention I retire in 6 months?

Hmmmm...yeah I would go in a heart beat.

[Indecisive]

I would go, just not as cannon fodder.

You need a bachleors degree to be a Helicopter pilot. I should know I'm going for mine now. 2 more years and I start training.

For this war in Iraq? No. I don't believe in the cause. I'm all for supporting our troops that we have there now, but I would not risk my life to fight for a cause I don't believe in.

If we were in WWII right now, then yes I think I would. Of course I can't say that for sure because I'm not actually faced with it, so if it were to really happen then I don't know.

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.

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

I am too old to get drafted but if I was forced to go it would be a disgusting waste with my computer skills to be put on the frontline. However if all those positions were totally filled and I had to be a grunt, I would try to kill as many as humanly possible. If our boys have to die over there I would want to make sure that for each one, they lose thousands
