Good point...

if they start to get desperate, I could also seeing them allowing legislation to pass that enables prisoners in our jail to serve our country in lieu of their prison sentences...

I'm sure I won't be the first, but thank you for your service.

I wholly agree that the federal govt should be questioned on every account. Its our duty as Citizens. As a former servicemember you should know that the US isn't the "Evil Empire" some make it out to be. The military is only employed to further US interests. If the interest of the US doesn't coencide with your own, you have 2 choices- run for or petition office and change the interests (legal political action), or defect to a nation that fits your agenda. If a draft were to occur, having registered for the draft implies tacit agreement with the foreign policy ideology of the United States. You have/had a choice when registering for the draft, each of which carried its own consequences. If you registered so you could get federal student aid, well, you agreed to fight for the nation if it saw fit to call on you. Its a two way deal. If you didn't want to fight, you should not have registered. Suck up the consequences on the front side, or suck them up on the end with the possibility of carrying a rifle someday.

It becomes not a question of "patriotism," but a question of honoring committments you made to your country.

That would work out great... however all males ages 18-25 are required by law to register for the selective service program...

nah they don't track you down or anything...

however, before they let me separate from the military they made me fill one out

and I was over 25 when I left lol

still, even if the military didn't make me, and it was the law, I probably would have registered anyway...

Yah, I'm one of those suckers

Why would you refuse? you didn't give any reasons beyond the fact that you wouldn't.

I believe you are thinking jail time in a federal penitentiary is as easy to survive in. You may want to do some real research into what life is like. Here is a start on some stats. Prison Stats

Here is another link that tries to show you a glimpse at how prison life is like Tips on surviving in a federal prison

You also forget that fact that you have a high chance of contracting HIV and or TB during your vacation to a federal prison. Do not even think about asking me how one may contract the HIV. (Watch the movie Deliverance and you will get a better picture of what I mean.)

If you think life would be bad in the military, then you truely have no idea what prison life is like. I have not been and do not have any desire to go. Chances are in today's society, in America, you have a high chance of getting caught. You will have to abandon everyone you ever knew and must never contact them for any reason whatsoever pretty much until you are in your last week of life. You can never reveal your true identity, hopefully your fingerprints are not already on file (many parents take thier kids in to get fingerprinted under the missinformation that it helps track your kid down in the event of a kidnapping), do you truely have the means of obtaining a true fake identity? These are just some obvious points and in no way covers all points necessary regarding your choice you had voiced.

You like to party without paying for the bill.

i have to agree with you most truely my father was in namm and grand father in WWII and if it wasnt for the men and women fighting for our freedom then we would be living a whole diffrent life than we are now and my thanks go out to all who are serving and have served to keep this country,if there is a draft im all for it i have a wife of 11 years and 3 children and im more than willing to fight for my country!!!i'm going to and have started my paper work to get into the guard and im sure im going to like it and serve my country so people who want to wine can sit at home and complain and try to tell someone how to live their lives well i got a tattoo on my left forearm that states LIVE FREE OR DIE!!!Well thats what im going to do live my life the way i want as long as im not doing anything against the law.If you dont want to live where conscription might happen thenleave and dont let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!!I allso feel that everyone should serve 2 years in the military mandatory so that noone will complain about having a draft,but thats just my opinion and if that bothers you would you like to have some terrorist come to hunt you down with out knowing it?!!!GOD BLESS ALL WHO ARE SERVING WITH THE ARMED FORCES I'LL BE WITH YOU SOON!!!!
