woohoo! im 23, i think im too old. i remember when i was 18 i worried about that shit too, but i would have gone if i got called. i dont think there will be a draft, we have too many regulars and reserves in service dont we?

ninty 11-04-2003 02:37 PM

23 is too old? Thats like the perfect age, no?

You can't go overseas unless your 18, so 18-30 year olds are the perfect choice.

Madmartagen 11-04-2003 02:40 PM

i think they grab the youngest ones first, plus im in college. i dont know how it works nowadays, they havent used the draft since the vietnam war. i would think they would revise the qualifications this time. maybe i am in the preferred range. either way, you have to strap on some extra balls and do your duty.

Madmartagen 11-04-2003 02:44 PM

i dont think the iraq war should qualify for a draft anyways, maybe if we fought the entire mideast. stupid:

ninty 11-04-2003 02:53 PM

How many US troops are in Iraq? 180,000 maybe? I don't think you'll need a draft. Perhaps for homeland protection while all reservists go to Iraq, but I highly doubt any draftee would see action overseas.

Madmartagen 11-04-2003 02:58 PM

homeland security eh? that sounds good to me, maybe theyll post me in maui, malibu or hopefully OKINAWA, BABY!! plz plz plz beer:

I'm just speculating. I don't live in your country so I have no idea. I hope you guys don't have to draft. I think that would be a shame. If pres Bush had to do that he'd be in way over his head, and never get re elected.

I said months before the war with Iraq (and Im sure its posted somewhere here) that if we were to goto war with Iraq, and South Korea, no doubt the draft would be put back in effect.

If things remain the way they are now, I can see the draft coming into effect somewhere along the line of 4 to 6 months.

Madmartagen 11-04-2003 03:52 PM

we have troops in afghanistan and iraq so far, but if we go into korea, i still dont see us using a draft because i dont think we would be occupying them like we are in iraq. but i dont know, where else are we looking at? iran, syria. if we start spreading all over the place, then yeah, we'll be putting on uniforms pretty soon. i would guess in the next two years.

200 posts woohoo beer:

Why can't you take vaccines?

They inject the dead virus into your system, so you build up a mini army of cells to fight it, that float through your bloodstream until they have a real virus to fight.

Our Army alone is over 500,000.And that isn't including the Navy, Marines, and Air Force. I seriously doubt we'll have another draft.
