[quote:Anonymous Coward 84233582:MV81MjM4NjkzXzk2NDg3MDAzX0UyMDJDODBF] [quote:Anonymous Coward 66212791:MV81MjM4NjkzXzk2NDgzODc1X0M1NTEzRDEz] apparently in russia you can. no such thing has ever existed in the US. i think they may have had a Draft in the olden times but i also remember people burning their cards and leaving. [/quote] That was not "olden times" and very few (maybe about 10%) refused to be drafted. Most went and served honorably. Many draft dodgers served time in prison, they all had their lives disrupted and many suffered financially by not being able to find good employment due to their past record of draft evasion or prison terms. Many more left the US, never to return. It is likely to come up again, as they are failing to meet the induction quotas for the "volunteer" military. But the standards have changed less and less fit young adults are available to serve. So I would expect to see a new type of boot camp for those who can't qualify for regular boot camp. It will get them in shape to attend the regular one. [/quote]
Original Message
It doesn't make sense.
How can you force a person to kill people.
What if you tell them that you will commit suicide or kill your own people/soldiers if they hand you a gun?
