[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]

3 RepliesEdited by half an idea: 1/24/2015 12:13:48 PMI would be a conscientious objector it is in law in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Ireland, and many other countries. The reason the law is in place and activated if conscription is activated is you wouldn't want the person next to you to be unreliable. I do not object to fighting. If you wish to defend your country I salute you. I would defend my county, however I would only defend it. I would not attack another Sovereign state. If I was conscripted into a defence force I would go willingly, given any military or non military role inside my county would be fine, however if I was going to get sent abroad to fight some one not directly attacking I would sign up as a conscientious objector. I also have another thing to consider as I am a national of three countries which would make war between any of these countries a problem also. ( I do not expect in my lifetime for these countries to go to war against each other. Not again anyway.) Have a pleasant day.
