| come on mecanon, we don't have leaders who will make us fight, i'm sure they would hope for us too, but they won't ever force us too. I think we have enough allies to back us up if we were ever in that kind of a bind |

| When you turn 18, you must reigster for the Selective Service System within 30 days. You are then put on a list of potential draftees. If the army is not able to replenish it's ranks with reserves, volunteers, or national guard you have eligibility to be called to war. If the president in conjunction with congress feels that a draft is neccessary, they activate it, and a lottery decides which registered civilians are instated. The only reason you could avoid the draft is moral reasons, that are confirmed through backgroud checks. If you do not register or respond when contacted, you are fined, or persued by the government. This is not an opinion, it is fact. |

Whew, You'll have to excuse me a moment.. Here is some fat information for you, from a page about draft restriction rights.
The Draft -- Technically what it it
------------------------------------------------
Before anyone could be drafted, Congress and the President would have to enact legislation authorizing new draft calls. Under present law (which would probably change with a new draft), Selective Service would first select randomly among those who turned 20 in the calendar year of the call-up (the famous "lottery" system). In practice, while it's possible that a draft could move beyond the age 20 selection group, the odds are against it.
If you were called up, you would receive an induction notice requiring you to report on a certain date not less than 10 days from the date of the notice, to a Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) unless you filed a claim for exemption or deferment. Filing a claim involves no more than checking a box on a form, and submitting it it the Selective Service. After the SSS receives the claim, they will send you more forms to complete. You must apply for any and all exemptions for which you think you may qualify, and/or for classification as a conscientious objector. At this writing, the major possible exemptions and classifications are:
1. A minister or divinity student.
2. The sole surviving son of a family whose father, mother or Siblings have died as a result of military action.
4. The sole financial or other support to family members who are dependent, elderly, disabled and/or ill.
5. physically or mentally incapable of being in the military.
6. lesbian, gay or bisexual.
7. A Conscientious Objector ( The legal definition of a conscientious objector is a person who objects to participation in all forms of war, and whose belief is based on a religious, moral or ethical belief system. To be a conscientious objector, you don't have to believe in God; nor do you have to oppose using violence in personal self-defense. However, under current legal definitions you must oppose participating in all wars. Advocates are still fighting for legal recognition of selective objection, your right to refuse to fight in specific wars. )
Resisting the Draft
--------------------------------------------------
You're someone who has no intention of ever being part of the military; you've ignored the recruiters, despite repeated phone calls and subtle pressure from school guidance counselors. Why, you may ask, should you then register -- and put your name in line for a future, massive military action?
You're violating the law, although you're not likely to be prosecuted. One reason, of course, is that it's the law. Failure to register is a federal offense: if prosecuted and convicted, you could face up to five years' imprisonment and a $250,000 fine. (Actual published sentencing guidelines are much less). If you refuse to register with Selective Service, you'll receive threatening letters, at first politely reminding you to register, then threatening prosecution, finally informing you that your name has been turned over to the Department of Justice for possible prosecution. These sound scary, but they're mostly bluff. No one has actually been formally charged since 1986.
Legally, at any moment until your twenty-sixth birthday, Selective Service must accept your draft registration card. Some young men delay registration until the year in which they turn 21 (at which point the chances of being drafted are extremely slim), or even until just before turning 26. Once registered, you're once again eligible for federal assistance. (Since delayed registration is also illegal, this approach is a form of draft resistance.)
On the other hand, if you don't register before you turn 26, you will not be allowed to register, even if you change your mind. You'd then be permanently barred from such benefits, unless Congress or the courts act to change the law, which is unlikely.
A Legal Way to Protect your Rights
------------------------------------------------
Even though the registration card has no official space for it, you can still put yourself on record as a conscientious objector. Write on the bottom of the registration card, I am a conscientious objector. Photocopy the actual card a few times; place one of the copies in a sealed envelope before mailing the card to Selective Service; then mail the copy to yourself on the same day that you register. Since the actual card is destroyed after processing, your sealed, postmarked envelope is the only existing record of your notice to the Selective Service.
Of course, if you had to prove a conscientious objector claim to a draft board, you'd need more than a postcard - and you may not have much time to prepare your claim after receiving an induction order. Some young men, when they register, will collect letters from teachers, friends, religious leaders and others who know of their beliefs. Letters should attest to the sincerity of your convictions.
With the amount of standing US forces, how wars are fought in this day and age, and the fact congress and the American people would NOT support a draft.. the chances of you being drafted are extremely slim. Even if there is a draft instated, there are many ways to get out of it.
Modern warfare will only end up killing this whole damn planet it out, romantic idea in my opion war is. We got better things to do. |
