    Since I'm already in the army, I would have to say knowing what I know now, I'd run off to Canada, or better yet just feign insanity.

      I'll be 50 in two weeks, so I really couldn't care less. Perhaps I could join the elite unit known as the grey panthers.

        Uhmm!
        It depends!

        If it is a war started by my country, or where my country is an aggressor, I would flee to Switzerland (they are never at war, so I don't risk anything)

        It is a defensive war, I would VOLUNTEER in the army

          WHat the hell is "Selective Service" anyway?

          And I'm with VG, if I flee to Canada, I would get drafted. So I'll just flee ... nowhere?

              Well... I flee to Canada to serve, or to hide in the vast wilderness... so flee to Canada covers all options for me.

                I'll just stay in New York. It's a pretty vast wilderness all on its own.

                And thanks for the link, Dino.

                  Hmm, seems I would have had to register, even though I'm a Canadian on a temporary work visa. Good thing I'm too old.

                        I guess I'd run away to St. Pierre and Miquelon (sp?).

                              Honestly, it depends on why the war is being fought. If the US is being invaded or if we're doing the invading.

                              It doesn't really matter. You should have had a banana option for us 4F types. Asthma keeps you out of the service.

                                I have an army commission (infantry) so no prizes for guessing where I'd go.

                                I'm an old fart now and given my current employment I'd probably end up in the intelligence corps or a staff offcier, either way with a nice little office doing pretty much what I do now and posting here

                                I already know how to draw all the little army symbols on maps, answer a telephone and draft orders so I'd probably be posted here in the capital and live at home.

                                I'm also an expert at delegating work to others, officer's mess culture and long lunches. Nice war for some

                                Look, I just don't anymore, okay?
