How ironic that DCU is full of transparent draft-dodgers. If not your own son, whose son do you expect will defend you?

Ah yes let’s go back to feudal times with giant families when the first son inherited the title, the second son entered the priesthood, and the third son went to fight for the king.


What a Western European(?) bias on inheritance! Sorry for the tangent, but I’m sick of people who jump to this story as if that were universally the case. In the land of my ancestors, primogeniture was not the law of the land and woman could inherit.

DCUM is so rich many would pay for someone to pay for someone else’s son to fight in his place though.

Because I’ve taught a fairly good cross section of your sons, dcumad, and most of them are the very, very last type of young men that I’d ever want in the military…. unless they were in the enemy military.




Wow where do you teach....because you are the last and I mean last person I would want near my son or daughter.

While there is no chance he could enroll in the military even if he wanted to serve because he wouldn’t pass the health screening, he still had to register in case there is ever a draft.

The only males who don’t have to register are those who are incarcerated or institutionalized continuously from age 18 to 26.

[b]I am really surprised not everyone realizes this


Dp here. I doubt you posted anything the op didn’t already know. Everyone realizes that registering is not the same as qualifying for a draft.


Seriously...although MAGA didn't do well in school and reading is hard so maybe the PP before you was educating MAGA.

How about conscientious objector of wars?

What are the other reasons to be exempted?
