All I know is, if we were all drafted into the YM brigade, my question would be "they're all really pretty sir, but can they fight?" A good military strategist would know how to use us! 1) buy coach purses and crab legs in bulk (go for discounts here to save the DOD budget) 2) send to enemy with instructions to open at exactly 10am (we do need our beauty sleep) 3) deploy YM brigade so it can observe said unwrapping -> war will be over by 10:05am same day. We'll teach those no-good crab-eating coach-bag toting good for nothings! Rah, rah, rah!!!

We'd go in there and open up a can of whoopass of epic proportions on them. YM is merciless to those who are on welfare and eat crab legs and have coach purses.

If they need warm bodies, they will just recycle you until you make it. If they need warm bodies, they're just going to push you through after you've gone through training, either without taking a test or not caring how you do. Otherwise everyone who got drafted who wanted to avoid going to war would just not do the required number of pushups.

Late to the topic.
I did it once, and I'd do it again. For purposes of this discussion, I'd leave my kids with my parents (who are over 50).

I am quite surprised at the amount of people who claim they would dodge it. I'm surprised it isn't higher given the ridiculous wars we've been in for the past decade against Iraq, etc. If Hitler's reincarnate reigned and was mowing down my buddies on our own soil, my answer would be different. But given the current politico: my family has lost enough people to war. If I can help it they aren't losing me, either. Sort of on topic, Jon Krakauer has a fantastic book called: Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman, if anyone is interested. This is about the NFL football player who enlisted and was killed in Afghanistan. It's a very good read IMO.

And I again thank all who have previously or who currently do serve for doing something I am unwilling to do.
