Could just put a lengthy PowerPoint together and have everyone asleep by the 15th slide. Orrrrr you could work at KPMG so they know you couldn’t pass the asvab anyway. From a former Marine who likes to eat crayons.

There will never another draft in the United States unless extreme circumstances occurred. Most people in society will be a liability rather than an asset on the battlefield anyways.

I disagree. When you put people out there, they decide very quickly they do not want to die. You don’t have to enjoy your time, but nobody wants to die.

Who do you think is going to build the website for the draft? Easiest thing in the world to screw up royally.

What website? They just work using the mail.

I attended my brother’s basic training graduation from Fort Jackson just last month.
On a serious note, this is not a light, laughable topic for some.
On an ambiguous note, I don’t think most of my work peers have to worry about being selected.
