Will the rich avoid the draft by having a Doctor say they are disabled?

[GingerSnaps]

The draft is inevitable and unless you have the funds to pay a Doctor to write you a letter stating that you have some type of disability then you are going to be drafted. Shouldn't a provision be written into the law right now that if you have an "ass boil" that it will not be enough to get you a deferment when your number comes up for the draft?

The poor and middle class do not have the money to shop around for an expensive Doctor ;)that will write up some type of disability so that they will be able to avoid the draft.

I believe that the rich will avoid the draft by claiming some type of disability this time.

6. The more money you have the better your odds are

You can even leave the country and find a Doctor to write the disability up for you.

3. It should be fun to watch

Amputees being shipped back into battle, while the assboils sit around sipping cocktails.

4. We know they will and if you know any, or their parents

Who are Bush supporters you should at every opportunity deride them for being draft dodging cowards. I already ask every Bush supporter I know who is under the age of 40 why they haven't enlisted yet.

8. My son and I had this conversation...

... when he was 17, in 1990. He knew I did my "4 in the Corps" and he knew what I feel about the use/abuse of the kids in the military - and vets - by the chickenhawks in DC.

"Dad, should I register for the draft."
"Sure, son."
"But... but... knowing how you feel...you wouldn't want me to get drafted if they start up the draft again, would you?"
"They wouldn't draft you, son. They don't take people with no big toe on their right foot."
"But I HAVE a big toe."
"Not if they try to draft you, you won't. If you can't dodge it any other way, I'll shoot the thing off myself."

Meant it, too.

I live 22 miles from Canada by boat, and if these assholes start the draft, I'll be taking anybody who wants one on a little Canadian boatride.
