i'm actually in the air force. the way the military looks at it is they spent a lot of money making us highly trained war fighting individuals. if we are going to die it's going to be while doing our job. if we die any other way then they lost a whole lot of money and that hurts you the tax paying citizen. do i agree with how the military controls every aspect of my life? NO. do i understand the need for the control? yes.
if you look into the UCMJ (uniform code of military justice), military law in other words, it actually says the only way we can have sex is missionary position. they do regulate what we do a lot.
and don't complain about the military not being "allowed" to drift. by them not drifting that means that soldier marine sailor or airman is still alive and you aren't being asked to take his or her place.
none of this is mentioning the underlining fact that this is an all voluntary military. that means every service member voluntarily signed a paper saying they would serve this country and that they would listen to the officers appointed over them. that means if an officer tells you not to drift then you can't drift. that means if an officer tells you to march your happy little a$$ into combat that's what you're going to do. you don't ask questions.
isn't drifting illegal anyways? last time i checked it's considered wreckless driving. so what's the difference between the cops telling you that you can't do it and the military telling me i can't do it?

When/If the draft gets reinstated we will see what people think then. If you want to join the air force/army/navy/etc. good for you. I would never sign up for something thats was going to take 4 years of my life that I would not have contorl over my actions.
Some people may need or want that but not me.

it's not about giving up control of my life. some of us actually want to protect and defend this country so that our families can be free. it might not be for you but you should thank a military member for joining so their isn't a draft or like in some countries were military service is manditory.
happy Veterans day

Maybe more people would be willing to serve if they didn't limit the LEGAL activities that you participate in OUTSIDE of work.
I am willing to work a job, I am not willing to sign over my freedom to protect the freedom of other people, that makes ZERO sense...

I'm not saying I'm not glad there are people who are willing to go, I have had friends go to the air force/marines/navy you name it. I can even understand why you have to sign a contract, first trouble and weak people would go packing.
If worst comes to worst send me an m4a1 and I'll fight the terrorist right in my backyard.

I think giving up some of your freedoms to help serve the community is admirable... doing so when the people telling you what to do are focused on making money and taking over the world... is foolish.
