Oh my god, the selective service system sent me a registration letter

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?

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.

Wow... more conspiracy theory stuff.  Question everything you read/hear, not just the stuff you don't agree with.  Just because you don't believe in the Iraq war doesn't mean all that bad stuff they publish about it is true and all the good stuff is false.  Some of it may be true, some of it is probably blown way out of proportion, etc.  People write stuff to sell copies and the more conflicting or terrible sounding the better it sells.
