"paying taxes but not having a say about anything (no taxation without representation)"
Hmm, taxes, no representation...you mean like we have now? This country is run by the haves and the have-mores, just as Bush joked about once at a fundraiser. Corporations are not people, yet they have more rights, influence, and voice, in government that any human. Votes don't matter because the available options for candidates are all controlled from the outset. * If you can control the options, you can control the outcome. *
So, good for you, I didn't sign up for that selective service either.
Pumping everyone full of fear and waving flags around should be enough to scare enough stupid people into signing up. But they'll get some job experience, so they can come up and work as Walmart rent-a-cops.
In addition, standoff weapons, drones, robot warfare, and other systems will greatly reduce the size of force required to terrorize the planet.
"And how many rich kids officers are dying in Iraq right now? I'm not sure if he was an officer, but there was that one football player who died. But he was killed by friendly fire. The military is welfare painted as glorious."
You're referring to Pat Tillman, who died in a friendly-fire incident. After he was killed, the US govt used him as a propaganda tool and covered up the events surrounding his death. He was in Afghanistan, not Iraq. But he was still an idiot, for confusing support of a morally bankrupt political regime with patriotism.
Yes there is still a place on this planet where you can be free. No I won't tell you where. Yes, I am serious. I have about 5 years to go to have my financial plan completed. Then its a BIG FU to the USA

I think you mean Mac-10, and don't forget the more basic stuff like MRE's, water purification system, etc.
