Besides the fact that I wouldn't tolerate being dragged from my family and home to go fight, wouldn't tolerate being told how to live with military regulations and discipline, and that I wouldn't tolerate--not at all-- other people yelling orders at me, I don't think I'd ever want to fight in a war, so I would find some way to avoid/evade it. However, it is made more insulting because if you do not consent to it, they punish you. And because of corrupt politics and such, I doubt the war would be over when I finish college in like four or five years. However, by that time I'd have an Engineering degree; maybe I could convince some committee that I would be more useful helping produce resources.
Also, because I was on the subject of the selective service a few days ago, does anyone know why registering for it is required to complete a FAFSA application for colleges? And because the official [url=https://www.sss.gov/PDFs/WhoMustRegisterChart.pdf]website[/url] says that all men between 18 and 26 must register, does that mean you're no longer eligible to be drafted--in the event that happens--once you're 27 years old?

So in the event of ww3 or an invasion on US soil or a war with a large country such as Russia, China (the only wars large enough to cause a need for more soldiers) you would cowardly dodge the draft just because you " couldn't tolerate someone yelling at you or telling you what to do"? You boy (don't deserve to be called sir) are an incredibly weak willed, weak minded, and cowardly individual to no be able to tolerate being yelled at or being told what to do. It is quite pathetic and disgraceful.

So, the [i]only[/i] way to help in a war is to be fighting as a soldier? Those scientists that worked on the Manhattan Project during WWII weren't helping in their own way? Why weren't they drafted? And, you know what, for your sake, I guess I wasn't very clear; I would still register for a draft, and I will still register with the selective service when I turn 18, seeing as I am not yet required to, but I would rather help a war effort in my own way, if given the choice. I just think I'd be more help as a scientist or engineer than as a soldier. However, you seem very hostile, so I don't think my explanation is complete enough yet. Besides the fact that being a soldier involves taking the lives of other people, I would not be 100% against it, especially if the USA wasn't the one who attacked unprovoked. However, if military drilling and life in general is as strict as it is made out to be in television and movies and books, then I'd pass. For the very few times I have a reason to call myself proud, that would be one of them. I would rather [i]not[/i] have some officer shout expletives and curses and orders at me or others, and then be punished for defending yourself or otherwise saying anything back. I'd rather not be put down to that level if I don't have to; I'd rather help some other way. I don't want to sound mean to you, but I don't care what you think. If I were to be drafted, then fine. But I will give respect, so I will demand it in return. And if that's too much, then oh well. If the only thing that matters is honor and no thing else, and if the only way to earn honor, if the only way to avoid being called a coward is to fight and kill and bleed on a battlefield, then I guess my first preference would not be to have your "honor".

If you don't sign the selective service act, they will try to screw you in any way they can. Make sure you pay your taxes.

I know it's required by law, and I can't even register yet because I'm not yet 18, but why is it required if you want to fill out a FAFSA application to go to college? And why is it only required for men 18 to 26 years old? What about older men? Can they no longer draft you when you turn 27? I never found that answer anywhere on their site.

Edited by WickedNavajo: 1/17/2015 5:50:38 PMI'd rather be an engineer than obey orders to go to war. Why is that bad?
