1. <4-D> Ministers of Religion - exempted from military service;

I should work on my "Doctorate in Divinity".... :evilgrin:

[Dems Will Win]

3. Then you can marry people instead of

blowing them into smithereens!

[chelsea0011]

2. 1 A O. for conscientiouis objector. A military joke, right?

Personally, I'm TEA...Too Effen Aged.

Burn those cards baby, burn!

[Mr. Blonde]

4. What does it take to be 4-f

if it is just what they say in "Alice's Restaurant" you will find me littering a lot in the near future.

[Dems Will Win]

7. Same old 4-F actually.

50% were deferred you know. But you have to work it baby.

Whaddya got?

Flat feet? Anal cyst? Bad back only good enough to go skiing on?

[Mr. Blonde]

10. I can't

hit the broadside of a barn with a shotgun does that count?

[Dems Will Win]

11. How good a cook are you?

Potato Peeler?

Latrine Orderly?

They'll think of something!

[Mr. Blonde]

14. well

no one has died yet, but I cooked again tonight so I'll tell you later.

[Endangered Specie]

19. Does being obeise count?

Degrading eyesight, and a very interesting foot bone... I was born with it split in two... doc says only thing it does is, I cant run on hard surfaces

[alittlelark]

16. mescaline dose 1 hour prior to evaluation

should do it:evilgrin: :evilgrin:

Attempting to passionately kiss the evaluator (if male) could also prove useful - especially if you exclain how much he looks like your brother...your twin brother - the one who died when he was born.

[MattNC]

5. one would think

there'd be exemptions for those working in the intelligence community and defense-related industries - guess not.

[Massacure]

6. Dual Nationals exempt?

What do I have to do to become a resident of Canada?

[Dems Will Win]

8. Why don't you just go to work for the NOAA?

There's a special exemption for it!

"<1-C> Members of the Armed Forces of the United States, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or the Public Health Service;"


Then you can work to save the climate and evade the draft at the same time!

Just a suggestion.

9. <3-A> Hardship Deferment

<3-A> Hardship Deferment - deferred from military service because service would cause hardship upon his family; explain hardship

[Dems Will Win]

12. I would think missing an ear

could get you out. If your avatar is a true picture of you.

[7th_Sephiroth]

13. nope

his name is Little Bongo, he sings his little Song-o, but i can make it so my right thumb is not apposeable, can i get out with that?

[Selwynn]

15. 4F'ed

Back surgery, 8 fused vertebre, 2 steel rods in my back - doc won't even let me go skiing let alone join the military. :)

[DebJ]

17. My daughter said 'critical federal govt employees' are also

exempt, and she said she is one. I hope so! She works for FINCEN.

[Dems Will Win]

18. SAFE!

[Endangered Specie]

20. Isn't there a defferment if your in college?

[Dems Will Win]

21. Sorry, they played TAPS on student deferments a loooong time ago...

Divinity students get off, however.

TIME TO GET RELIGION BROTHER!

[DebJ]

22. someone posted here in the past week that college deferments

will not be a part of the new legislation currently sneaking through congress. In fact, if you are drafted in October, you must report by December, can't even finish off your year (so much for financial aid....(

[Endangered Specie]

23. Thats bullshit...

Especially that divinity studies get exempted... They can just try... lucky me I cant run more than 1/3 mile non-stop. (see my post above).

[Dems Will Win]

27. The deferments ended long before Rangel's bill

People are so damn confused by the Dem bills. Just forget about them!

There already is a men-only DRAFT and Bush is reactivating it for June 15, 2005. The Dem Bills are not needed for the DRAFT to be reactivated. All that is needed is a trigger Resolution after Bush asks on April 1, 2005 for the DRAFT, saying "We won't cut and run from Iraq." (Then he'll invade Syria and Iran later on with the DRAFTEES)

There already is a men-only DRAFT and Bush is reactivating it for June 15, 2005.

That's all you have to say to yourself.

Let's say it together.

There already is a men-only DRAFT and Bush is reactivating it for June 15, 2005.

Please say that 5 times a day--to other people.

Thank you.

24. How

How is it that no one knows about the draft coming? Do people really have their heads that far in the sand? Why is everyone so blind?

[Dropkick]

25. 3-A hardship question

Would being a single mom (where father may or may not be dead; has disappeared) count as hardship?

[adadem]

26. Never thought I say

such a thing but I am thankful my son has autism. For all the years of heartache at least he is safe.

[DoctorWeird]

28. Does Anyone Have a Link?

I can tell people over and over, but a good credible link will help best. I checked Snopes but they have it filed under "probably not" or they did last time I checked. But then, from the Michael Moore response, the Kerry swearing stuff, etc., I tend to think Snopes leans to the right rather heavily.
