How do I avoid the draft? Remove this text

If the world affairs weren't troubling enough already the domestic affairs of the United States have reached a new level. Democrats in effort to futher destroy the Bush Administration are now pushing for the draft to reinstated. The whole government is out of its mind...

I would like to think that a person on pyschiatric medication for such serious disorders as me would not be drafted. Unfortunately the military trains people to have pyschiatric disorders to better kill people in such places as special forces divisions. Honestly you put me in a position to start killing things, I'll kill anything that moves basically friend or foe.

As for being gay, I doubt that will stop them from drafting me, hell saying that might get them to accuse me of being a terrorist and take the rest of my civil rights away.

Anyone have a nice country that I can move into with a high standard of living that won't be drawn into this world wide warfare? And anyone know how I can get a visa to travel without being labled an unpatriotic terrorist?

I really don't mind fighting and dying for freedoms, but with the government today taking those freedoms away, there is nothing left of the flag but dyed fibers. It is so sad it is almost unbelievable.

Please help, I am stressed out of my mind, I've been losing sleep for weeks now.

No but we still have the military's views on how poor conscripts generally are as soldiers.

Sign with an agent if you don't mind losing your elgibilility. I don't know how that will effect your draft status, but maybe you'll slide into the later rounds.

Oh, wait, you mean the Army. Simple: be a man, do your job and stop whining about it.

If you really want to avoid the draft, declare yourself a concientious objector. Or just go totally limp: they can't actually force you to walk, talk, and move, they just punish you for not doing so.

Living in a country with conscription I've heard many a way to avoid service. One of my favorites, although I don't know if it's true, is to when you're in psychologist office to roll yourself in the carpet and soil yourself.

That's Democrat, no "s", specifically Charles Rangle. The idea is two-fold: 1. it plays up the fact that that while the wealthy lawmakers and president decide to send our armed forces into harms way, our military is overwhelmingly made up of people from the lowest economic class. Pretty easy to send people off to die when you know your daughter is safely tucked away in a rehab center in Florida. 2., if Iraq poses such a clear and present danger as to warrant military action, then obviously we need the entire country on war footing.

And yes, the whole government is out of its mind with the exception of Nancy Pelosi. :P

What? Avoid?! Move to France I guess.

There is beauty in mandatory service.. there's no draft, since everyone gets to go. And that affects the making of decisions, since majority of people don't want to go.. I guess that's pretty good thing in general.

Anyway in Gandalfs words 'Run you fool, run!'

In all reality, Boris is right.
IMO, there will be no draft. At least not any time soon.
