If USA would one day start a world war (impossible I know, considering how peaceful it has been) and then one day the world would rise up against it, whooped all US military bases, and brought the fighting home, to US cities, how would you feel about being drafter BY THE GOVERNMENT? By militias?

Living in the woods in America, I am not sure I have the freedom to say what I would do, especially after my dogs were shot a month ago, and I am not sure if I would refuse a local militia to fight against invaders either, because I would like to know who is taking over, and there would probably be no internet to research.
 
If we were physically invaded, I would not need to be drafted. I'd be there volunteering. I am essentially a pacifist when it comes to foreign actions on our part, but when it comes to my homeland, I'm all for a good fight.
 
Skipping the entire ridiculous implausibility of the OP...


Honestly, so long as there was a decent rear area I could store the wife and kids in, I'd be kind of excited. I almost pity the landing force dumb enough to take on an American citizenry.

I predict they take at least a Divisions' worth of losses in the lower half of Louisiana alone.
 
There would be no one alive to be drafted. The food chain, having being annihilated, causes the unlucky few survivors to starve to death within weeks. Armageddon. Goodnight, Vienna.

Dude, I get it - you're upset about your dogs getting shot by cops, and frankly, I think there ought to be some rational restriction of that tactic (I understand also why they utilize it). But the idea that you aren't going to defend your country from invasion in a fit of pique over it? :roll:

I think you may be right. Having a good number of friends there, I can tell you they do know how to fight, and they are doggedly persistent and skilled at whatever they pursue.

Not in the redneck areas of the country. We have some scrappy fighters amongst the ranks. ;)

It's not his country. According to a previous post, his country ceased to exist in 1913. Ask him about his dogs, however. He hardly ever mentions them.

I don't doubt it, but since the continental US would be a sheet of glass, I don't think it matters.

...Weeellll, the Sheriff got wind that Amos
Was in the swamp trappin alligator skin,
So he snuck in the swamp, gonna catch the boy,
.....but he never come out again....



The idea of any nation out there being able to project the kind of force to effect even a minor invasion of an infinitesimal portion of the U.S. is kind of silly. But really - American Rednecks, working in concert with the U.S. military, on their Home Turf against EuroArmies, with no holds barred?
 
Of course, the U.S. does not start a war. But we can be attacked. I think that the majority of the population volunteered to defend their homeland. But do not forget about the internal enemies that are just waiting for the moment to shoot us in the back.

If I'm drafted would it end your silly look at me polls? If so I be glad to be drafted but I would probably would reenlist into the Marine Corps and back to my old K-9 Unit.

Goodness. He should go looking for one, then.

I find it interesting, however, that he would claim so, and yet be able to post. Not many 102 year olds are members of DP.

Well, if they're the dogs in his picture.... :shrug: If I'm a cop on a raid and a doberman runs up at me snarling and acting like it's ready to attack... :shrug: I'm killing it, too.

How can a country that doesn't exist (your words) start a war and draft people?

It would be easier for me to say the same as you did, if I would not have followed closely conflicts in places such as in Syria: seeing people getting their brains blown out AND KNOWING that a lot of these people have been simply deceived, some paid to fight, and some paid to deceive others

When in Afghan we had to shoot feral dogs that would try to attack our K-9s

I volunteered for the sharpshooters. I can bring my Barrett.:2razz:

You did not read my post closely enough, and I also just replied to your other post, which explains my position.

Yup. I had a buddy end up getting sent home because he got mauled so badly by one of those things.

Well I would wager I have probably followed those conflicts closer than you have, and so can rather dismiss the idea that awareness of our ineffective and insufficient activity in Syria would require refusal to partake.

It is not your country either, and although Russians like to claim to be proud victors who defeated Nazi Germany, their own government murdered around 30 million of them, therefor they are in fact NOTHING, just like Americans, BUT WHO WANTS TO ADMIT THAT THEY ARE NOTHING???

NEWS FLASH: Americans would be EASILY made to fight each other, no euro armies necessary. take away food stamps, veterans benefits, unemployment, and let the UFC championship rated R begin

Exactly, and those enemies are already being created out of people who care about this nation the most.

Did 5 years a K-9/MP Marine finding IEDs and Drugs.

Much easier than a country that cares about it's own people, obviously.

:shrug: you might get some rioting in the inner cities from the loss of food stamps. Maybe.

Certainly the idea of society-threatening internal violence is (though still far from any kind of likelihood) more plausible than foreign conquest of the U.S. In the sense that getting hit by lightning 14 times while being attacked by a shark and winning the lottery is technically more likely than being abducted by an alien race desperate to make you their king.
