US Gov Draft? Our 19 yr old son just got a letter from the Fed Gov 'Selective Service System' | |
| sleepypoochy (OP) User ID: 27493452 12/05/2012 11:15 PM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP, bet it's addressed to your son's name in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27531391 It's addressed to a straw man, a legal fiction not your flesh-and-blood son. If he responds to it, he admits that he is the legal fiction. He is then bound to whatever demands they place upon him. Don't join yourself to the fiction. I had to check because I know where you are going with this. YES - THE LETTER TO HIM HAS HIS NAME AND ADDRESS IN ALL CAPS. (THOSE F-IN BASTARDS.) |

This opposition to war and desire to work for peace is considered a matter of conscience. By this we mean that our theology and commitment to Jesus preclude our involvement in war. We believe that participation in war is incompatible with the way of Jesus. |

We believe that participation in war is incompatible with the way of Jesus. Apparently you're unfamiliar with Luke 19:27. Rather you should be opposed to war because you don't want your children to be cannon fodder, to be chess pieces at the hands of the elite. There are times when war is righteous and justified, but not at the elite's beck and call. .. |

If we have a draft, I think we will, you will know. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13926736 BTW: I have 2 boys 19 and 21..... It's going to be a sad situation for many of us parents if they call for a draft. Indeed it is. However, since most Americans have enjoyed sitting around the t.v. with popcorn, watching American cluster bombs hit live for entertainment, then you shouldn't really have a problem sacrificing your sons to do so. |
