    There is a draft. Every man in the country is signed up for it. They just haven’t used it since Vietnam.

      You make it sound automatic. No, they make you sign yourself up for it. Just to rub it in “we own you,” I guess?

        Yup making you sign up for it makes it automatic. They just have to call you up, which they haven’t done in quite some time, but that’s not much of a guarantee or comfort.

        It is automatic. As Vietnam proves. People shipped against their will to die in a meaningless war of agression. You are state property, you’re just taking care of it until they need it.
