I would not submit to an unconstitutional law.

It would depend on the conflict.

depends on the war.

no way i go to iraq tho.

in retrospect, the only war US war I would have gone to is the War of Independence and WWII.

How long do you have to sit in jail, just until the war is over?

W00lygimp · #6 10-28-2004, 09:38 AM

up to 25 years or a 500,000 dollar fine.

I would dodge the draft if I felt that the war were unjustifiable. If it were justifiable, I would not dodge. In fact, I might volunteer, depending on the urgency and scope of the conflict.

Jimminy Cricket! So you basically give up your life. I guess that means you are forced to gamble on the front lines.

Does anyone know what the avg is? Do people actually get all 25 years, or do they get something around 5?

Also, I am 24. I have a college degree and am at least slightly above avg intelligence. If I were ever drafted somehow, would they find something more important for me to do than hunker down with a rifle? Or would I just go to boot camp and be pushed out onto the field?

No worries anyway. President Bush has promised that there will be no draft. Of course, we all know he is a trustworthy, honest man of integrity leading us in the absolutely righteous direction.

I bet you get your news from ABC, CBS, and the New York Times.
