  1. Hard truth and big facts. And if you speak out against it, oftentimes you encounter anything from mild contempt to highly hostile reactions exhibited by other weirdos or confused citizens, or end up targeted by govt persons. Yes the draft is gone in the US now and never should have existed; I don't think it will be back (although they always leave the back door open via the "selective service " which is a violation of human rights and all civil rights) but back in the 60s and 70s plenty of Vietnam protesters were attacked by media and average citizens alike. Those who took part in demonstrations were arrested and occasionally charged with nonsense felonies and misdemeanors. IMAGINE THINKING THAT WE ARE ALL SUCH SLAVES SUCH PROPERTY!!! SUCH NON-INDEPENDENT BEINGS THAT WE HAVE NO RIGHT TO DECIDE WHO WE SACRIFICE OUR VERY BODIES, MINDS AND LIVES TO. IMAGINE THINKING ONE DOESN'T HAVE THE **RIGHT** TO REFUSE TO PARTICIPATE IN CONFLICT- IMAGINE THINKING ONE DOESN'T HAVE THE **CHOICE* OVER HOE TO SPENDS ONE'S OWN VERY LIFE!! That's how you know a megalomaniacal wannabe dictator is in charge. People who spoke out against Iraq and Afghanistan were often jeered at similarly. Any public media voice speaking in opposition was silenced. Service-members who became disillusioned had two choices, go AWOL or try to be separated as a conscientious objector; both difficult and some were penalized and charged with bogus crimes for trying. As for ignorant citizen responses, I don't understand this inborn desire amongst these types to be a willing human sacrifice.... I mean if that's what you want for yourself by all means buddy you go put YOUR ass on the line but I don't see how you feel you have the right to criticize someone ELSE who has good reasons for opposing this latest armed conflict..... IMAGINE THINKING WE WERE BORN ONLY TO SERVE OUR OVERLORDS AS BULLET FODDER.... lunacy Look, the next time this country is invaded and attacked by a stronger enemy (if it ever is) I'll be the first one to volunteer and I mean that, but short of that, and short of actually being part of a moral liberationary force (if it ever happens), no hell NO I'm NOT going to throw my life and possibly my mental sanity away for NOTHING!! for empty if not deeply immoral reasons. HELL. FUCKING. NO!! AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU Neither should anyone. Amazing how much some ignorant citizens seem to NOT want rights! Apparently not just for themselves but for thee and thou as well. Rights even over one's own very life. As if I was born with some moral duty literally encoded into my DNA to be a willing SACRIFICE for any trivial conflict gobmint persons can come up with. amazing.

  3. Hard truth and big facts. And if you speak out against it, oftentimes by other weirdos or let's just say, confused citizens, you're called unflattering names or penalized or attacked, or targeted by government. Yes the draft is gone in the US now and I don't think it will be back- but back in the 60s and 70s plenty of Vietnam protesters were verbally attacked in the media and by average citizens. Those who took place and demonstrations were arrested and occasionally charged with symbolic felonies and misdemeanors.
