Hostile | Yeah, I read that a week ago or so. I wouldn't worry about it too much. They're just preparing for it, they don't need any people to go in for Iraq atleast.... If we start anouther war then who knows. :P | June 6, 2004, 6:38 AM |
crashtestdummy | [quote]Dodging the draft will be more difficult than those from the Vietnam era. College and Canada will not be options. In December 2001, Canada and the U.S. signed a "smart border declaration," which could be used to keep would-be draft dodgers in. Signed by Canada's minister of foreign affairs, John Manley, and U.S. Homeland Security director, Tom Ridge, the declaration involves a 30-point plan which implements, among other things, a "pre-clearance agreement" of people entering and departing each country. Reforms aimed at making the draft more equitable along gender and class lines also eliminates higher education as a shelter. Underclassmen would only be able to postpone service until the end of their current semester. Seniors would have until the end of the academic year[/quote] So education doesn't matter to the government at all anymore. | June 6, 2004, 6:59 AM |
