[Social Experiment] How would you feel if you were drafted by the U.S. Military? And Why?
Let's take the social experimenting in a different direction. Once again, there is no right or wrong answer, each answer can be inferred for more than the answers itself, and each answer can be related to point of view. However, this time, we are experimenting moral compass with personal convictions about the U.S. Military. We are using a hypothetical situation, that would probably not occur in actuality.
So heres the situation: [b]The U.S Congress approves a draft for a war in the Middle East. Obviously, as there is not a draft currently, so the circumstances that the U.S. Government have observed to send volunteer troops there now has changed, and this is now a substantial matter of national and international security. The "lottery" (a system by which they select draftees) is in place, and you are an appropriate aged male. By laws surrounding a U.S. draft, students are able to finish their semesters, and Seniors in college are allowed to finish the year. After these periods of schooling, you are eligible to be drafted. [/b]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[u]And here is the question:[/u] [b]How would you personally react to being drafted? Why is this so? And what is your background (student, in the work force, professional, etc.) currently?[/b]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, if you chose to evade the draft, you must keep in mind that you are endangering/revoking your citizenship with the U.S. and are now prohibited from the country. If you are already in the military, then you would [i]presumably[/i] be okay with being drafted into the military, and thank you for your service. Also, if you are ineligible currently to be drafted, neglect that, and consider yourself eligible. Answers like "but I is 14 I no military" and "I not from merica" are inadequate for this social experiment.
Finally, every time you vote in a poll and do not comment, you become incredibly hungry, but are not in the mood for anything in your house.

[b][i][u]IF YOU ARE NOT AMERICAN OR NOT ELIGIBLE FOR A DRAFT, I DONT CARE. I'M ASKING A HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION. IMAGINE YOU ARE AMERICAN, OR IMAGINE I AM ASKING YOU IF YOUR COUNTRY DRAFTED YOU TO ITS MILITARY IN A WAR SITUATION. [/u][/i][/b]

8 RepliesBesides 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?
