Please no. They were always the most boring sods, their presentations sucked. Them and the legal people. I'll do anything else, I'll even carry the Wagtail.

Damn you......what's a Wagtail? I might have a special....additional duty for Wagtail..

The radio. It has a long antenna and won't shut the hell up, like the wagtail (a bird). I'm volunteering to be the sig pig ha.

Motty is Commo...He's be in the other MATVE

For Gawdsake...never forget this



Let's see the entire Platoon drop their Fills in one hour...

I had one of my SST's head out on a 7 day patrol, forget to bring a CYZ-10 and they dropped crypto on the 1st day. I chewed them a handful of new buttholes when they came back.

I agree with you if you are starting with the assumption that a WWIII-type situation would involve an invasion of the US. However, there are potential scenarios in which the US could be drawn into a war that doesn't require the US being invaded.

And if such a war happens the draft will be political suicide. Vietnam Part II is not going to happen,

Except it already did. It was called Iraq and the draft was certainly talked about at points, hence all the stop-loss shenanigans. If things had gone a bit worse there and say Syria and Iran got involved in 2006ish, there probably would have been a draft. I agree with you that it would be political suicide though.

I have no issue with females having to sign up for Selective Service. But the caveat that if they are called up, they have the same exemptions as males (no special considerations), and birth control/enforced childlessness should be mandatory during their time of service.

Yea, good luck with that.

How would that even work? The "childlessness" part is particularly scary.

"Well, I do have a seven and a ten year old."

It wouldn't. Just raises another sticky issue though. "Oh gak, draft notice. Time to get knocked up."
