Let me rephrase my earlier comment about war. Ok, yes, I do support the war....email me and I'll get into it further, but this isn't a place for me to comment on my political beliefs. As far as getting drafted goes, do you see me in the army? IF I survive B.T., I don't think I would last I week in Germany, let alone Kuwait. I'm pretty sure firing the M-16 wouldn't be a problem, although I would probably end up as a feeder to some M-60 gunner.....It's the muscle that I lack.....I'm pretty sure I would also pee my pants continously.....so it's not that I'm a wussy and would run to Canada in order to avoid my draft number, it's that I believe I have a considerably worse chance of survival compared to most American Males. And that is why I don't want to get drafted....that and the whole dying thing, but those two are pretty much entwined. Have I said that both my older brother and my sister-in-law are 1st Lt.'s in the army. My sister-in-law will leave for the war before friday and my brother may go a little later. I realize if there isn't a war, then they wouldn't go. So that is also a mixed emotion for me.....but still.......I don't know......I just think there has been a lot of talking and Saddam has been dancing around us.......at the same time, I think that N. Korea is a worse situation, but that is a whole different story, so I won't get into that......but those are my reasons.....take it or leave it, because it's who I am.
