Yes, yes, double-posting, but I felt the draft being reinstated merited a post. Read and pass this on. It's too important to keep quiet. And it's probably going to be mostly people I go/have gone to high school with drafted. I don't want to fight. I've thought about it, and military would be so wrong for me on so many levels. Politically, I'm against the war. It's bogus to try to get peace through fighting. Physically, I have no pain tolerance and very little strength. Mentally, I don't like being told what to do, especially when I don't know why. "Because I said so" was never quite good enough for me. I also can't stand conflict. I hate it when people fight. Guns mutually scare and disgust me. Blood in real life makes me feel light-headed. I don't want people to die, both people on my side and people on the other side. This is so scary. Please, let people know.

UPDATE
Turns out it was possible I was misinformed. Yes, the bills were introduced to Congress, but there is a very good chance that they won't pass. See for more details
