If you were to be drafted by your country's military during war time, what would you do?

I would love to send deserving enemies to their graves; better than any video game out! What better way to lose your aggression then government santioned killing; makes me drool to think about all that blood & gore. Don't wait for the draft, run down & join now!

Thanks for remember us veterans. If possible, please shift my vote to that from the "would volunteer before being drafted" thingy.

Seems to me, sending more troops to Iraq only recruits more terrorists, which is the opposite of defending my country.
:?
Perhaps we should try diplomacy.

Uh-oh... Uncle Frank has forgotten to take his Prozac once again, and this time it's really bad :relief:Frank D.

Over here, once you become 18 there's a suitability test, and if you pass it, you have to serve for a year, However, you could still refuse and do social services instead (which are a bit longer, I think).
Brooker said:My father was a U.S. Marine back in Vietnam and he said he had to take a similar kind of test. He told some rather entertaining stories about what some guys did in order to FAIL this test. One involved putting the contents of a jar of chunky peanut butter down your pants. When asked about the strange substance during the physical examination, the potential recruit scooped some of it up into his mouth and declaired, "I believe it's sh**, sir". He was denied entrance for "mental reasons".
Sorry if that was too racey, but hey, I heard that story from my dad. I tried not to be too graphic about it.
