I would not vote for her if she was running for rat catcher of Tijuana Mexico. She is anti-military period. The only one who hate's the military more is Boxer and the Clinton's

So sayth Foyld the theologian.

Wow, good argument

Joseph,

What's wrong with being anti-military? It's not like the current US military does anything positive for us, and certainly nothing to justify $400 billion per year. I got an idea, let's take about $390 billion of that and sink it into paying down the debt, balancing the budget, tax cuts, and things of that nature

Without the military, how long would we as a country Survive?

Someone has probably already stated this, but since I'm lazy and don't want to read through all the replies I'll just say this:

Escape to Canada.

Dunno, Canada isn't doing too shabby.

Why would we let anyone invade them?

Indefinitely. There is no military threat so long as we have nuclear weapons and have a nice big ocean separating us from any major powers.

**DinoDoc** · February 13, 2003, 01:52

I think that you vastly overestimate the military utility of nuclear weapons if you intend on making them your sole defense.

**mactbone** · February 13, 2003, 01:58

Plus, much of the defense budget goes to research. Check out MITs nifty new research grant from the Military, we may see some really cool stuff outta that.

Re: How do I avoid the draft?

Isn't being a homosexual on serious psych meds in a country that doesn't have the draft, doesn't allow homosexuals in its military (if it can help it), and doesn't allow anyone with a long list of psychiatric conditions (including several of yours) serve? If that's not enough, show them this thread.

If the world affairs weren't troubling enough already the domestic affairs of the United States have reached a new level. Democrats in effort to futher destroy the Bush Administration are now pushing for the draft to reinstated. The whole government is out of its mind...

I would like to think that a person on pyschiatric medication for such serious disorders as me would not be drafted. Unfortunately the military trains people to have pyschiatric disorders to better kill people in such places as special forces divisions. Honestly you put me in a position to start killing things, I'll kill anything that moves basically friend or foe.

As for being gay, I doubt that will stop them from drafting me, hell saying that might get them to accuse me of being a terrorist and take the rest of my civil rights away.

Anyone have a nice country that I can move into with a high standard of living that won't be drawn into this world wide warfare? And anyone know how I can get a visa to travel without being labled an unpatriotic terrorist?

I really don't mind fighting and dying for freedoms, but with the government today taking those freedoms away, there is nothing left of the flag but dyed fibers. It is so sad it is almost unbelievable.

Please help, I am stressed out of my mind, I've been losing sleep for weeks now.

And I think some people vastly overestimate the military threat states such as North Korea or Iraq or Syria pose to the US, 6000 miles away.

**Skanky Burns** · February 13, 2003, 02:29

Distance is irrelevant if they are shooting nukes and don't care about the consequences.

**GePap** · February 13, 2003, 02:39

Cheapest solution, the one that involves the least travelling, the least mutilation and no changes in your religion, and even no lying or criminal acts:

Ask and tell contantly, Ask and tell.
