| What would you do if you were drafted for a large world war against Russia or Eu or whatever. And the casualties on all sides are extremely high because both countries have advanced strong militaries so its equal power. Would you fight and likely die or would you find a way out? I would fight because i would feel too terrible when its over that i cowered and didn't fight. Might as well die in glory i guess |
| I'd cry. I'd try to dodge it by any means. No way I'd allow myself to be cannon fodder. I'll push the button for a drone strike maybe, or deliver coffee to the general, but that's my limit |
 |
| Already served so ain't got nutting to worry about. |
| flee the country. I definitely do not have the mental strength for a war. I've always had the thought process of what it takes for me to survive. |
| If I resisted the draft I'd likely get shot on the spot, so I'd probably go with the flow and then desert and disappear on the first occasion. |

| If it was a war to repel an invasion of my homeland then yeah I would fight but if it was a war to invade another country I wouldn't participate even if I was drafted. War is only honorable to me if you are protecting your country. |
 |
| I would sneak out of the army into another country and became the new Osama bin Laden |
| Zero Suit Samus/ Meta Knight M2k DBZ |
| I would camp or just noobtube the opposition. 10th Prestige CoD Experience gives me a great advantage. |
 |
| Run, probably. I never want to kill anyone, or fight, or anything like that. |

| Most of you guys who think you would cower probably wouldn't. I think most people become desperate for survival once they hold a gun. But thats just a theory. But i do like that everyone is saying no. Hopefully wars will stop as people see how pointless it is. |

Anyway, when all hell breaks loose I doubt they'll bother with military trials for draft dodgers anymore. |

Score high on whatever test they use to guage where they want you For me? I'd continue doing what I'm doing. . . forecasting the weather; pilots / drones can't fly without a solid forecast so good job security! Faily safe job, depending what route you take :] |

| War isn't all that bad it helps to advance technology rapidly. Its a competitive motivation. |

mclovinballz said: Already served so ain't got nutting to worry about. This. But depending on the circumstances, I'd probably go back anyway. Just so I can have Nicole accuse me of being a war-crazed, murderous, baby-killing, wedding-bombing criminal. |

I think you've seen too many war movies OP and killing innocents? That all changes when those innocents actively try and succeed in killing people you know - yeah it may be a playground for / by governments but when you're there it's a job Any feelings of empathy for the enemy quickly dwindles when people you know no longer exist |

| I would have served my country. I wouldn't really like it but what choice would I have. Speaking legally that is. |
| Dodge the draft, chances are said war isn't worth fighting for. |
 |
| Depends on the war, what I'm being paid, positioning, if I'll be in the shit or training. As to the gun thing OP not really true. Most trained soldier even hesitate to fire when being fired upon none the less. |
| Optimal scenario: helping in ways that don't involve joining the actual fight. I'd like to do something to help the situation, but then again, I think that the statistics are against me on surviving the whole thing. Hence something that increases those odds. And in the scenario in which the country I live in happens to be the attacking one? Unlikely, considering the neighboring countries and the fact that my country isn't part of a military union (read: can't really afford to join any because it would make our situation really tricky). |
 |
| Assuming the draft is changed so that women can be drafted...probably still discounted for health reasons But if not, I'd serve in a non-combat role Conscientious objector camilleanime said: In the US at least, you can still be drafted for a non-combat role/topic (except for those who live in the U.S.A. or Canada, no idea how things work there) |

camilleanime said: Some of the responses here are really immature... If you are a E.U. national, you have a legal right to what is called "conscientious objection" (art. 10.2 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union). /topic (except for those who live in the U.S.A. or Canada, no idea how things work there) As I mentioned, once the real thing starts such laws are likely to be ignored. That's just how war works. |

That's what they have always done in serious wars until today. |

| I'm already denounced by the army so I'll never go back there. Oops. If I had to? I'd desert for sure. It's not that I'm a pussy, but that I'd rather not throw away my life so easily and I like to pretend that I'm a pacifist. |

| Approximately go to war (in my pocket). |
mclovinballz said: Shooting deserters, maybe. I agree with McLovin that shooting draft dodgers isn't going to happen though. But why dodge the draft when you could just get out of it altogether by some other means?

Are you American? The Army these days is too much of a pussy to go shooting draft dodgers, they'd just slap some jail time is all. In my case, though I am in the preferred age bracket for selective service, I won't be drafted. I've already been disqualified from serving, twice. Tried to join the Marines, and tried to join the Army National Guard a few years after that. But if things got desperate enough, who knows, maybe they'd reconsider my disqualification. Anyways, if I were drafted, I'd serve honorably and do my utmost to make it back in one piece. I would probably try to get medic for my MOS. Considering I aced the ASVAB back when I was trying to join the Marines, I think I'd have no problem. Or something language related. Linguistic talent runs in my family. |
| Fun Fact: Males were given the vote because of their requirement to serve their government. It was literally the price they had to pay: dedicate their lives to their country, and only then would they be able to vote for their country. Females were given the vote because they asked for it. And do not have to serve their country's military (males still do). But male privilege, amirite? OnT: Fight in the war I guess. What else does one do when drafted? I'd probably die. Or, since I most likely don't measure up to whatever military requirements there are, I'd be given some non-combat position. I guess that all depends on how desperate the situation is. With our technological advancement though, I don't really see another WW1 happening. It's not like wars are fought in trenches any more. |

Hell, down at FT Benning, Drill Sergeant would give you directions if you want to go AWOL and tell you "See if I care". |
