If I hadn't bad eyes I think the Dutch Marines.

I would expect to be a regular army grunt, one would most likely not have the opportunity to choose what one wants to do.

I'd join the NZ Army. Not incredibly well equipped but well equipped enough and well trained. I'd attempt to prove myself enough to be selected to the NZSAS which is widely regarded as one of the most effective Special Operations groups in the world.

but if they did that then they would have so much more difficulty finding approval for the next big deployment. and that would mean less big military spending. why sell a single bullet to win a war when you could sell million-dollar jets? this is nothing new, its now declassified that US troops were not allowed to attack key north vietnamese military targets during that decade. 80% or more of the bombs dropped in vietnam were dropped in south vietnam on the land we were "protecting." it is against our policy to establish and complete war-ending objectives in war because the war is the objective. many of our largest businesses would crash without war. Thats why we have either participated in a conflict or supplied arms for conflicts continuously for the last century. interestingly and sadly, our economy as a whole can still crash under the mountain of debt we have borrowed from china and international bankers in order to keep paying for our military industry.
Do you really think people back home, the average Joe, would have supported a invasion of North Vietnam in 1970? Do you really think the USSR would have just sat around and watched? Do you think China would have done nothing(look at the Korean War for yours answers to this one).

Jesus I just re-read your entire post, the clicked on the links in your sig and I realized that I just wasted my time typing these things. You clearly are not going to change your mind.
we were literally attacking the people we claimed to protect. four million vietnamese were (quite secretly, considering the lack of war declaration) killed largely in south vietnam due to bombing. and you are saying that it was ok for us to wantonly kill this many friendlies because openly admitting that this slaughter was an invasion (which it certainly was) would not have been politically expediant and would have warranted consequences? of course a ridiculous argument such as yours does nothing to 'change my mind.' u essentially say that we had to wage that criminal war as a more subversive excuse for the criminal war we would have preferred. so not only did we fail to fulfill a useful objective but we spent more than 10 years involved in not fulfilling any such objective. quite profitable though.

are u criticizing the reuters feed i linked? or the link in my sig? most of those vids are simply interviews of various individuals, many quite well known. there are also some excellent documentaries there.

its time to reevaluate your 1970's conceptions of history and the political process.
Look, Im not saying the war in Vietnam was well fought, it was a fuck up on every level, hell, it was common to send multi million dollar fighter aircraft to strafe a trail in the jungle, lots of collateral damage, not to mention the extremely fucked up way we went about winning the "hearts and minds" of the Vietnamese people.

You guys do know that they send you where they want in a draft right?

I can't be drafted because my job is "vital to the national security of the United States", even though sometimes I wish I could go to do my part....

I know you can't just choose where you go if you're drafted.  However, this IS a hypothetical question. 

So even though I have no choice, if I did I would want to become a paratrooper or chopper pilot. 

A question to someone who is actually informed on the subject and has military experience: What MOS would take up the most draftees if there was a draft right now? Infantry?

Well if I had to voluntarily join the military and pick a branch, I think I'd like to try the Marines. However, I would sign up for a data analyst, or something with the reconstruction of Iraq as far as designing cities and such goes. After all, I am 2 years into my Civil Engineering degree, and it's something I've considering doing when I get out of school, join the military or get contracted by the government to do engineering work for them.

Ugh... all you idiots think being a sniper is some glamorous position. Fact is none of you probably possess the patients, the skill, or the wits. 90% of a snipers job is recon which means laying perfectly still for a few days at a time. need to take a crap don't bother getting up just shit on yourself.
lol that sounds like a shit job

I wouldn't get drafted to old and I would fail the second draft due to Health

so I would have to be Tech support or some other home guard shit

If your 18 or over, You're going.
If your in college the chance of you getting a draft letter go down eminsly, and if you are teh only male to carry on your family name then you cant get drafted, also you cant get drafted if you have a disability.

The US has changed the whole college deferment rules.  Back in the day, if you stayed in college you would not be drafted.  Now you get to finish up the current semester and then you're off to the military.

You can volunter in a diffrent branch IF and only IF you DO NOT open your draft letter. if you volunter before that draft letter is opened then you have no obligation to report for the draft.

Yeah, flying planes is pretty demanding. That whole colorblind thing, as well as the dyslexic thing, those would both be pretty big disqualifiers. In the US, AFAIK, the only MOS you'd qualify for is some sort of Admin.


Me, I'd go CG. Rescue Swimmer for the win. Hell, that's part of what I do now. If I can't get it, a medic somewhere. Why learn new skillz?
