I don't want to get drafted, and I would like to help our country out during this time of war. One thing that pisses me off here at college is the fact that we are at war, and none of us act like we are affected. We get ****ing drunk 3 or 4 nights a week, buy new clothes, eat out, have nice new t.v.'s, cars, etc.... I am the only one of my friends that follows politics and world events.... I bet half my friends couldn't find Iraq on a map. I feel like I need to give something back to my country, just like my grandpa did.

Do any of you know much about the National Guard? The basics that I know is that they pay 20,000 bonus if I got into one of the top 10 areas of need, and also pay a lot of college expenses... luckily for me, I have no debt and I'm a junior. He told me I would go to basic training this summer, and then come back to school to finish up and go from there. Could they deploy me whenever they wanted? Do National Guard troops get shitty assignments like working in cafeteria's or do they acutally get to hit the dirt? If my ass is going all they way to Iraq, I wanna ****ing kill a terrorist.

Any help would be great, thanks, Jake

Wow...this post is filled with some legitimate and intelligent criticism of our society, alongside some of the dumbest shit I've ever read. It's almost like two sides of your brain are fighting for complete control of your gray matter...that or you have MPD.
