Well, now, that's mighty brave of you.

Yeah, I just read that in your previous post. Good luck, tough guy. Hope you can back up your big words with action. Having known a fair amount of NZ Soldiers, I think it's going to end badly, and with tears, on your part.

But hey, don't let me stop you! Give it a shot (so to speak).

I just missed the vietnam war draft but my older brother was of age.
They used a lottery system so when registering they have all these kids birthdays. The lottery pulls a day and then if it's a match with your bday then you're called up/notified to show up for your physical.
Just tell them you have a history of seizures on one side of your family.

Many of you are probably too young to recall this but in '67 Mohammad Ali, was drafted and refused to go saying " I aint got no quarrel with those VietCong". But technically claiming it was against his muslim faith, called a conscientious objector. Due to the laws, and moreso to make an example of hiim, He was charged with "draft evasion" , fined $10,000. (which at the time more than paid for a new 427 Corvette) and sentenced to 5 years in prison. Thru legal manipulations he avoided the prison time but Worst yet, he was stripped of his boxing title so he couldn't box any longer in the USA except for Georgia. He did later in life get his title back when he was close to retirement.

If you were a popular movie star you could do what John Wayne did and get a note from your doctor.... He was rated as 4-F.... Some of the guys beat the draft during Vietnam (67%) by joining up. I stayed out of the Army by joining the Marines and registered for the draft after I did a tour in Vietnam. They were using the lottery system, and drafting 19 year old's. My birthday was the second number called up and I didn't have to go, of course they don't draft 19 year old disabled veterans....See? There is more than ways than faking to beat the draft board, you just have to be creative. _javascript:icon('')

Millions have registered before you and millions will registor after you. Just do it and I imagine you will forget about it a week or so afterwards, like I did. Of course a year later I enlisted and haven't ever been happier. That was 13 years ago.

I join the navy to beat the draft and having to go to vietnam.

I put in for minesweeps and ended up in vietnam sweeping the mines out of Haiphong harbor north vietnam

At least i did not end up sleeping in a fox hole.

Does everyone think they get to live in this country for free? Register with Selective Services, pay taxes, and be a citizen. Fasci....errrr...freedom isn't free!

Notice on their own website how they fail to cite or reference any actual law for you to review, bells and whistles should be going off right about now. This is because there is no law, registering for the draft is voluntary, obtaining a SSN is voluntary, with very few exceptions. One thing to keep in mind that the use of the term “United States” in relation to federal law, does not mean the several states of the Union, unless specifically included in the term defined.

Also notice in the opening of your letter (besides failing to cite any Section of federal law at all) “and one may be required to register with Selective Service”, well either you are or you are not, right? How are you to know if you are, they failed to tell you that you legally are required to register with them. Again, bells and whistles, bells and whistles.

Though keep in mind once you do register with the Selective Service System, you are on the hook, under a binding contract. The only thing that may effect you for not registering is you may be denied government grants for higher education, presuming you are not legally and actually one of the ones so required to register of course.
