Fuck that's terrifying.

 

[thepotatoman]

I guess it makes since most people are 3 days or less away from being drafted or not drafted, given it was a full on lottery. Mine is 1 day away from not being drafted.

What a sad dumb thing. Can you even say anything was accomplished by that draft and war?

[Dubbedinenglish]

Missed by 5 days, can't imagine having to watch those numbers get picked knowing you may get drafted.

 

[Xe4]

Nope. No draft for me : )

I had two uncles sign up cause they didn't want to get drafted (you get better positions if you sign up), though. My dad avoided the draft but had the possibility of being called if the draft had continued for longer.

Crazy to think about, a draft for the Vietnam war.

I'm glad the means of the draft is in place, but the only time I'm glad it was used was in the civil war and WWII. World ending kind of shit.
