[Social Experiment] How would you feel if you were drafted by the U.S. Military? And Why?

Completely Disagree (attempt to evade draft)

360

Morally Disagree (do not evade, but be drafted)

368

Agreement (drafted, in military, support draft)

386

Other (specify)

105

Let's take the social experimenting in a different direction. Once again, there is no right or wrong answer, each answer can be inferred for more than the answers itself, and each answer can be related to point of view. However, this time, we are experimenting moral compass with personal convictions about the U.S. Military. We are using a hypothetical situation, that would probably not occur in actuality. So heres the situation: [b]The U.S Congress approves a draft for a war in the Middle East. Obviously, as there is not a draft currently, so the circumstances that the U.S. Government have observed to send volunteer troops there now has changed, and this is now a substantial matter of national and international security. The "lottery" (a system by which they select draftees) is in place, and you are an appropriate aged male. By laws surrounding a U.S. draft, students are able to finish their semesters, and Seniors in college are allowed to finish the year. After these periods of schooling, you are eligible to be drafted. [/b] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [u]And here is the question:[/u] [b]How would you personally react to being drafted? Why is this so? And what is your background (student, in the work force, professional, etc.) currently?[/b] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Also, if you chose to evade the draft, you must keep in mind that you are endangering/revoking your citizenship with the U.S. and are now prohibited from the country. If you are already in the military, then you would [i]presumably[/i] be okay with being drafted into the military, and thank you for your service. Also, if you are ineligible currently to be drafted, neglect that, and consider yourself eligible. Answers like "but I is 14 I no military" and "I not from merica" are inadequate for this social experiment. Finally, every time you vote in a poll and do not comment, you become incredibly hungry, but are not in the mood for anything in your house. [spoiler]badgerforninja2k15[/spoiler] [b][i][u]IF YOU ARE NOT AMERICAN OR NOT ELIGIBLE FOR A DRAFT, I DONT CARE. I'M ASKING A HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION. IMAGINE YOU ARE AMERICAN, OR IMAGINE I AM ASKING YOU IF YOUR COUNTRY DRAFTED YOU TO ITS MILITARY IN A WAR SITUATION. [/u][/i][/b]

  • I'm panning to go to the military instead of college. I feel like the only way I would progress in life is to be military-smart and aware. Besides, my neighbor was drafted to go to Vietnam. Poor guy was a technician fixing wires and radio signals until the facility was bombed. The thing I can't forget is when he told me that at night each person would switch off as a guard every 3 hours. He said that at night it was most dangerous because even if you lit up a cigar a sniper could see the light and shoot you. He saw his partner die because of that and quickly gained common sense on the battle grounds of Vietnam, and that inspired me to be military-smart and aware.
