Draft

So I have heard from several “political” leaders that we will most likely eventually be in a full-scale war with Iran. There has also been speculation that all Iraq was ever about was Iran. My Dad read a article by some analyst that said there is a high chance that the U.S. will be at war with Iran in 5-10 months. All that was not meant to scare you, just to lead up to my point. There has long been talk of enacting the draft to help in Iraq and to end the war, but that’s another story in itself. If there is a draft I will be on the first boat out, for several reasons. First, I not only have several siblings, but I have a brother, which means I am not the only male child in my family. Plus I am the older of the 2 male children in the family. Second, I am pretty much physically fit, in good health, and have no physical problems or anything. I am of the ripe draft age of 20, and I don’t have flat feet. There is no way on earth I won’t be drafted. So just to let you guys know in advance, if there is even talk of a draft, I am just going to join up. To get the waiting over with and also because I would get the bonuses and benefits that come along with signing up, that you don’t get when you are drafted. To be honest it really wouldn’t bother me, because as some know I have been very close, 2 or 3 times, to joining the military. I just always found some reason not to, the first time being I didn’t want to cut my hair (haha). The second time was because I prayed about it and didn’t feel God was leading me at that time. The third was because I want to at least have a degree before I haul off and quit school. So blam! drafted!
