I volunteered to be on the draft board, have you?

We should all take the time to volunteer.

" Local Board members are volunteers appointed by the President. They play an important community role closely connected with our nation's defense. If a military draft becomes necessary, approximately 2,000 Local Boards throughout America would decide which young men in each community receive deferments, postponements, or exemptions from military service based on federal guidelines."


You don't want the Republicans making these decisions do you?

2. Thanks a bunch for the link - I'm in the exclusionary window for registration

Men must have registered with the Selective Service,
except those born from March 29, 1957 through December 31, 1959.

3. Make sure that no one that has engaged in sexual activity

of a homosexual or heterosexual nature, or has even considered doing so, is allowed to serve in wars of aggression the US is currently involved in.

4. Article 125 of UCMJ (Sodomy) does not apply to civilians

Only to members of the armed forces.

8. Uh, i did not mean that literally, but what i meant was, keep people out

of the military until the US ends war of aggression.

Never heard a word back about it.

6. Can you be an 18-26 year old on a draft board?

How sweet it would be to reject your own draft callup.

7. Can't. Military retirees aren't eligible. n/t
