I'm having trouble determining what you're trying to say here. I'm assuming, though, you misinterpreted what I said as meaning 18 year olds wouldn't want to resist. Of course they were. All I was stating was that the draft surely wouldn't start that young. It'll take a while, anyways, to determine all the factors involved, and set everything straight. T'would most likely be several years before it could be instated, and that's even if it ever gets accepted.

And what does Columbine have to do with high schoolers being drafted? I fear I'm ignorant on some unknown fact, here. Proudly elaborate, boy:p

Just imagine, you've got a whole career lined up ahead of you, you're getting all the qualifications/grades you need to get the job you want, and then all of a sudden you're drafted into the army and your future career is wiped off the slate completely.

EDIT: Lol just realised that my postcount is at 1337. :D

Thats one of the reasons why I am going into business for myself. I am starting my own Illustration studio. So if such things happen I will come back to my business.

I thought they only drafted the unemployed?

Well what would you call PA then?

J/K :P

The joke is all well and good but it makes no sense - ParamiteAbe is self employed. (or at least, will be when he sets up his own studio)

I'm confused here guys... is America contemplating calling up civilians to fight in the Iraq war then it would involve 18 year olds... I can't see it happening though... I mean they ain't THAT busy there... simply being a nusance! Its hardly WW3 is it!

If its what we would call conscription, a period of military service, then career or rather education was always considered. Most blokes did their 18months service before or after Uni... it was simple!

I always make joke's that don't make sence, get used to it :).
