If there were a draft would the Bush girls have to register?

[undeterred]

[sui generis]

1. of course not - it would be a national security issue

:eyes:

or they would mysteriously turn up pregnant or with an inoperable Limbaugh boil on their asses.

8. Ha ! Limbaugh boil... Good reference

i forgot Limbaugh was such a pussy for a moment. :spank:

And to the the origial Q, nope, no way. I was thinking about it today on the metro, about the legend of Troy and how Agememnon sacrificed his daughter Iphigeneia so he could go to war: but he only did so because it was necessary custom... the moral of that story being that even a deplorable custom meant to deter war cannot stop a truly evil heart. :evilfrown:

Nope today we're supposed to feel sorry for * cuz all this War shit he started is "hard work"
waaa its such hard work not attending one indirect murder of mine. God i just wanna see the look on his face if one of his daughters died in IRAQ, the !IRAQ! part being the most important... damn i can't justify it in any sense really, but after hearing Cindy Sheenan talk i would just feel so much more complete if i was there at that moment: the very moment Bush wanted to put a gun to his own damn head...

WHO MUST REGISTER
Almost all male U.S. citizens, and male aliens living in the U.S., who are 18 through 25, are required to register with Selective Service. It's important to know that even though he is registered, a man will not automatically be inducted into the military. In a crisis requiring a draft, men would be called in sequence determined by random lottery number and year of birth. Then, they would be examined for mental, physical and moral fitness by the military before being deferred or exempted from military service or inducted into the Armed Forces.

DUAL NATIONALS
Dual nationals of the U.S. and another country are required to register, regardless of where they live, because they are U.S. nationals.

HOSPITALIZED OR INCARCERATED MEN
Young men in hospitals, mental institutions or prisons do not have to register while they are committed. However, they must register within 30 days after being released if they have not yet reached their 26th birthday.

DISABLED MEN
Disabled men who live at home must register with Selective Service if they can reasonably leave their homes and move about independently. A friend or relative may help a disabled man fill out the registration form if he can't do it himself.

Men with disabilities that would disqualify them from military service still must register with Selective Service. Selective Service does not presently have authority to classify men, so even men with obvious handicaps must register now, and if needed, classifications would be determined later.

FULL-TIME MILITARY EXEMPTED FROM REQUIREMENT
Young men serving in the military on full-time active duty do not have to register. Those attending the service academies do not have to register. If a young man leaves the military before turning 26, he must register.

NATIONAL GUARD AND RESERVES
Members of the Reserve and National Guard not on full-time active duty must register.

CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS
Men who would be classified as Conscientious Objectors if they were drafted must also register with Selective Service. If a draft begins and they are called, they would have the opportunity to file a claim for exemption from military service based upon their religious or moral objection to war.

2. As it stands right now, no.

Only men from 18-26 years of age are required to register with the Selective Service.

3. They'd probably make a photo op out of their "registration"...

but as far as them having to actually serve, they'll probably do what their dad did - not show up.

4. Not unless the legislation were changed.

Unless national service is universally required, any pretense of being a 'democracy' is hollow, hypocritical rhetoric.

7. I can't see any reason why young women should be excluded

[ellenfl]

5. they would probably register as conscientious objectors. eom

6. YES. For the Texas Air National Guard.

Then they'd squat on a cop car, pee, and challenge their father to go "mano-a-mano."

They'd get a million dollars worth of flight training, refuse to take a physical, not show up, and eventually it would all be swept under the rug.

They'd drink heavily, do a lot of coke, and run business after business into the ground. They'd get married and have an affair with some male stripper in a texas bar and pay the stipper off for their silence.

Then, one day, they would become president. Simultaneously. The first twin President(s) of the United States.
