Is it that I need the crystal ball to work out the question?

No, I inserted the wrong clip, look at it now

That Charlie's been introducing this bill every year and it has consistently failed to get anywhere? I've known that for a while; attempting to reinstate any kind of conscription would be a disaster of unprecedented proportions.

The Peace Corp will have more applicants than they know what to do with.

Attending Yale and majoring in Business will be declared "civilian service in furtherance of national defense."

American military involvement in the Middle East will come to an abrupt end and no Republican will become president for 50 years.

Dang it, I missed the Divination class on reading that hazy fog in my crystal ball.

most of which would be good things (other then the yale and bussiness, which is one of reality's major sillinessess), possibly the real motivation behind it, and precisely why it is somewhere close to probability zero.

though dang, i wouldn't mind seeing the retarlicans (and yale) and all the horrors they've both brought to this planet, dry up and blow away.

Well, if it passed, I'd be unhappy, but I'd do my duty.

Obligation for Service- It is the obligation of every citizen of the United States, and every other person residing in the United States, who is between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform a period of national service as prescribed in this title unless exempted under the provisions of this title.
Nice!!! :rolleyes:

Not only will it not pass, it'll never even make it to a vote. Not in an election year. :p

Fixed.

Magic 8 Ball (http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~ssanty/cgi-bin/eightball.cgi) says no. The past results of the same bill in 2003 and 2006 (Vetalia pay attention there - 2003, 2006, 2007 =/= every year. ;)) say no. The military says no. You get the picture, no?

I object!

I hope they don't make it retroactive... Also, 42 seems a tad old to still have to do it.

I think I should probably just move to canada and get it over with.

I doubt it will pass, but I hope it does, as the ensuing drama would be very entertaining (I'm sure my opinion would be different if I lived in the U.S)

Exsqueeze me? A baking powder? WTF does this...

To require all persons in the United States between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed services or in civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security

mean? I will NOT, under ANY circumstances, do ANYTHING "in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security"! Let them do their own dirty work! Leave me out of it!
