Comments:
<0> Alkaiser the military effectively has 5 million bodies it could deploy if a real war situation arised
<1> They should be letting high school drop outs and bums join the military.
<2> the military is strongly against any sort of draft
<2> POR EXAMPLE
<3> immagrants dont need to be burning our flag in the street
<2> shut the **** up, pastime
<0> lol
<3> you sure?
<0> occ = money
<4> occ: how aold are ya
<5> Alkaiser: they have started to let dropouts and bums join
<1> they should offer illegal immigrants who are fit to either join the military or leave the country.
<2> you think id ever answer that question, Publius?
<4> ...
<4> geez
<1> They told me my GED isn't good enough to join the Navy.
<4> i'll answer
<2> dont
<2> itll only harm you
<2> whyd you ask me?
<4> I don't fear these peeps
<2> answer: to disparage me.
<4> you said you were fraid of a draft
<2> ahh, true
<4> i am too
<4> though I would be in intel
<2> no, i said i WASNT afraid of a draft
<2> dont get me wrong
<4> oooh
<1> If there's a draft, Canada will always be there to welcome to with open arms.
<1> *you
<2> if you're a man, and theres a draft, and you dont support it
<5> Alkaiser: I had a buddy with a GED and they were letting him join, they just need to get a waiver
<2> you openly refuse, and go to jail if need be
<5> go to another recruiting station if they give you **** about having a GED
<0> when I was in australia, I met a lot of german guys who were down their to avoid the mandatory military service
<4> holy crap
<4> he crisis peaked on October 27, when a U-2 (piloted by Rudolph Anderson) was shot down over Cuba and another U-2 flight over Russia was almost intercepted when it strayed over Siberia, after Curtis LeMay (U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff) had neglected to enforce Presidential orders to suspend all overflights
<4> I bet when he got shot down
<5> I enlisted in the USAF a little while ago and just dealt with all this crap so i kind of know
<4> ooooooooooooooooooooh damn
<2> im ineligible for military service, officially ;)
<2> of course, i could lie and get in
<0> occ lie about... ?
<2> having taken psychiatric medication
<1> So has everyone here over 18 all done that selective service thing?
<0> ah
<0> Alkaiser yah
<4> huh
<0> i almost joined the AF
<0> damn ex girlfriend
<2> i cant even remember if i filled out my selective service card
<2> im not too worried about it
<5> If you have a driver's license they automatically register you for selective service
<2> "its the law!" (for men.)
<5> at least here they do, don't know about other states
<2> clearly unconstitutional.
<4> bud: so jfk basically started this by going to turkey with the icbm's
<4> not that he is to blame
<4> over the USSR
<4> not that I actually am mad at him, but I have to figure why conservatives bash him
<5> Yeah. people portray the Cuban missile crisis as being some great victory for the US admin but it was just a rational compromise between the two super powers IMO
<0> hmm i dont thing many conservatives bash him
<4> bud: joke?
<4> my dad is insane at it
<0> many claim he'd be a moderate republican today
<4> I do
<0> a mccain type
<4> U.S. military commanders were not happy with the result either. General LeMay told the President that it was "the greatest defeat in our history" and that the US should invade immediately
<6> Aren't people given the citizenship for joining the US military?
<4> For Cuba, it was a betrayal by the Soviets whom they had trusted, given that the decisions on putting an end to the crisis had been made exclusively by Kennedy and Khrushchev.
<5> sintie: i believe so
<4> yeah, bsasically
<5> if they are legal immigrants though
<6> Alkaiser said he thought we shoudl do that.
<6> I didn't read too carefully to see if someone said that or not.
<6> Oh he said illegal.
<6> Right on.
<5> not if they are illegal, then they get court marshaled for falsifying enlistment documents
<4> the HOt Line
<4> is that still there?
<7> nope
<4> when did it go
<8> hi Pubicus
<6> I mean couldn't an illegal go to the border and ask for military service in exhchange for citizenship and be considered lega?
<0> residents can join right?
<6> legal?
<7> when crystal palace was phased out
<5> sintie: no
<0> you dont have to be a citizen to serve
<6> I mean what makes a legal immigrant?
<5> they need to be a legal resident first
<5> paper work
<5> Visas
<1> they should give the known illegal immigrants already in the usa a choice, leave the country with provided transportation or join the armed forces.
<4> TwoKnives: wtf is crystal palace
<6> And joining the military isn't enough of a special skill to get that stiff?
<1> illegal immigrants who are fit mind you
<6> stuff?
<4> and
<4> WTF is the BAy of PIGS then
<7> the ground facility that was replaced by looking gl***
<5> Bay of pigs was a failed CIA invasion of cuba
<5> well, CIA backed invasion anyway
<4> I have some more reading
<4> lol
<4> this is exciting as hell
<4> damn Russians
<0> Alkaiser no man, just no lol. you don't want a bunch of foreigners who are not at all loyal to the country involved in national security
<0> and driving large war machines
<5> They rounded up some dissidents and armed them and thought that the cubans would rise up to overthrow castro but the population was generally supportive of the regime and it backfired badly
<5> bud': lol exactly
<4> LOL
<4> is this why the embargo is still up?
<4> stupid *** jfk?
<1> after 4 years of service the illegal alien would be a full us citizen
<4> you'll have to excuse me
<5> pub: yeah pretty much
<0> Alkaiser we have sufficient military personell right now, its just fine
<4> oh
<0> we dont need to go drafting ppl who dont even understand the language
<5> Yeah well, i think the army could be a bit bigger but the other services are doing ok
<1> what's all this "stretched-out" thing i hear of?
<4> Bokavitch: is that just a nick or are you of Russian decent?
<4> or
<4> that area
<5> USAF is downsizing and forcing a bunch of people into retirment
<7> no, the embargo is still up because castro keeps ****ing around
<0> my sister is career military
<0> did 18 years
<4> TwoKnives: duh
<5> Pub: I'm armenian actually, but yeah have a lot of people in the family from the USSR
<4> sorry
<4> lol
<4> heh
<0> retired now, set for life, not even old yet
<4> Russia must have a lot of nations around there that really hate them
<9> Russia's been selling extremly lethal bio weapons to iran
<0> they'll sell anything, to anyone, anytime
<10> russia must want revenge
<4> Johan: where
<0> they want $$
<1> Russia should be worrying about Chechnya and what a mess their military is.
<5> heh yeah, russians just want money
<5> gov probably isn't even in control of half the **** that goes on
<1> They should sell the southern Kuril Islands to Japan for like a billion each since they want them.
<5> Poor motherland is in disarray :( hehe
<11> Alkaiser: don't forget that area around islands is also part of the EEZ..
<4> but the Russians just tried to screw us in Iraq
<5> Alkaiser: Really though man if you want to join the navy just check some other recruiting stations and someone will get you a waiver for your GED
