Iran says it is fully within its rights to pursue the enrichment to produce fuel under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.

Do any of the other youthful 2p2ers worry about the prospect of a draft if we enter into a war with Iran?

Yeah, I am pretty sure I'll be screwed if there is a draft.

I'm smart. Does that mean I can sit in a bunker somewhere and just push buttons when I get drafted?

That whole "field combat" thing just really doesn't jibe with my personality.

DITTO. Ship teh "steely-eyed-death-in-the-dark-shiva-comes-on-little-cat-feet" status please!

I'm probably joining the SEALs anyways, but goddamn would this be a nice excuse.

Re: Iran claims it now has 3k+ centrifuges working
 

I'm scared of the possibility of a draft if the neo-cons get their way again and invade Iran. But is the link provided what we call a biased source?

Re: Iran claims it now has 3k+ centrifuges working
 

The first politician to propose a draft in this atmosphere would be committing foregone political suicide. Too many boomers with memories of Vietnam and too many Americans remember promises of an "easy war".

Re: Iran claims it now has 3k+ centrifuges working
 

Is it really likely that a military response to this would lead to any sort of invasion or troops on the field? A few bombs in the right places would stop the nucelar program, and the Us would not have to invade Iran to do that.

One could consider the JP a biased source, but it is an Associated Press article and there are other sources (besides AP) repeating the same info.

According to google, draft priority would likely start at 20, then 21, etc., through 25. So unless you're really young, it's unlikely ot be a problem.

Yeah, it'll probably be a quick simple operation with no unforeseen consequences at all.

I mean what could go wrong?

This is rarely ever the problem for the military power doing the invading. The problem stems from the vacuum of legitimate governance that occurs when the invader destroys the institutions keeping order. Rogue elements emerge, the like...those we are trying to prevent the government of Iran from giving nuclear weapons in the first place.

It worked fairly well in Iraq during President Clinton.

Re: Iran claims it now has 3k+ centrifuges working
 

What would be sold as simple air strikes would inevitably lead to masses of Iranians forming at the iran/iraq boarder attacking our forces and an all out ground war against Iran IMO.

I believe the US and its allies have a pretty good overview of where the nuclear installations are. Bombing those alone (not any other military or governmental facilities) would not create any power vacuum, and the institutions that are keeping order would be largely unharmed (unless they build their Congress and presidential residence at the site of nucelar development).

With the immediate threat, real or imaginary, of nuclear war with Iran I think a crafty politician can get a draft done if things fall into place.

let me guess, they have a source named "fastball"?

And the Iranian Republican Guard Air Force and Navl Units would just idly sit by and watch the bombs fall? OR Perhaps strike out at any US Warships in the Persian Gulf and/or US Ground troops in Iraq. Which is more likely? What do you think The US would do if another country executed a surgical strike on our land based missile bunkers or similar strategic asset?

There is no such thing as a tidy war with a country who has a large, well equipped, and decently trained military such as Iran.

I understand how moto you are now, but saying you're joining the SEALs on an internet board, and actually signing the SEAL Challenge contract then surviving basic training, then BUD/s and all the rest are two completely different things. More power to you if you're serious about it, but make sure you are.

I only say this because this quote:
