Canada isn't an option so off to jail I go. It's ok. Jail is perfectly acceptable as an alternative to killing innocent people.

8. I'm assuming Kerry wins |
|
and that there will not be a draft. If Kerry brings our nation back on the road to recovery, and there was an actual need for people to serve, I think my sons would join. Our family has a long history of military service. But not for Bush/Halliburton. No way. I'd set my sons up in another land. I'll stay and engage in non-violent activities outlined in the Bill of Rights to try to make America live up to its potential.

10. When I read your post, |
|
I thought, "Hey, I don't have heart troubles! ... do I?" Then I realized I might not be the only old-timer with a physical disability on here. (grin)

15. I should be able to get out of it |
|
back before my conversion, I wanted to join the Army as a chaplain, but they turned me down. If they wont accept me for that kind of job in peacetime, then they wont want me in combat. Ive also got Dont Ask Dont Tell.

21. If they don't call it a "draft" |
|
Edited on Wed Oct-13-04 04:16 AM by AntiFascist
what if they call it something 3rd Reichian like the "Bush Youth" act,
or perhaps Orwellian like the "Peace Service".
