Forums - General Discussion - Oh my god, the selective service system sent me a registration letter

It says I've been registered?! What the hell is this?

Can anyone please tell me how to get out of this? I don't want to be forced into either going to jail or killing people once a draft comes in!

I think I'm seriously freaking out here...

I tried going on the website but its vague and all the FAQ seems to say is "You have to do it" like you don't have a choice.

Where do I go to get out of this? I don't want any possibility of me joining the military!

Dude, chill.  If you're an American male over 18, you MUST register by law, but the draft hasn't been activated for decades now, and most likely won't during your eligible period.  So just relax.



I've met with a recruiter and have been deemed "unfit for duty" :(. But even I still had to register.



Sig thanks to Saber! :D 

Its a requirement to register, regardless.

I wouldn't worry about getting drafted. Unlikely to happen.

Besides, why are you so worried about joining the military? Too worried you may have to defend America?



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Why?! I have a heart condition. I'm afraid of dying if I get registered into the military...

Apparently women are completely excluded! What the hell is this? This goes against the 14th amendment! Women should be forced to do so if men are. Why does America hate men so much?

Im 19 and have never registered. In high school every year they would try to get you to register. I always threw that shit out.

Not everyone wants to kill other people over some stupid goverment issues.

There is no honor in death. I don't believe in any of this patriotic 'defending America' BS. Iraq wasn't for defending America, the military ended-up raping 13 year old girls in torture cells within that country (Look-up Abu Graib), and these actions were ordered under Defense Secrutary Rumsfeld. The more you know, huh?

Not only that, but I've been reading books about war and genocide for college and some of the material absolutely disgusts me. Rape motels, accidentally bombing innocent villages, and accidentally shooting children that are hiding in fear.

I never want to see war in my life. Sorry for being a Pacifist.

I think it's perfectly reasonable for a person to be afraid of or opposed to military action or armed combat in general.
