My dad brought up this topic tonight at supper and I figured who better to ask than BF2s.

Is there mandatory military conscription going on in the states right now? Say you turn 18 (or 21, I don't know), are you forced to join a branch of the American Armed Forces, such as Marines, Army, Navy, or Air Force?

That's exactly what I was telling him. He thought that right after you turned 21, you had to go off to basic training, and either 'go to war' or join the reserves. Thanks.

It's not mandatory but the commercials and video games make it too hard to resist.

With the release of AA3, a very shitty trap indeed.

Only join when there's a neo con government that deluges it with funds and wars and when you're in that post 9/11 fanatic fever

otherwise there's no point, i mean it's all good being patriotic and all, but only at certain times, otherwise fuck america death to america!

The NeoCons liked Clinton, so I guess that works.
