    What does that mean, how can he be excused from military service if the military is already volunteer only?

    I plan on doing the Malcolm X routine and tell the recruiter how I plan on radicalizing the poc troops to come home and overthrow the government.

    The day I went down there, I costumed like an actor. With my wild zoot suit I wore the yellow knob-toe shoes, and I frizzled my hair up into a reddish bush of conk.

    I went in, skipping and tipping, and I thrust my tattered Greetings at that reception desk’s white soldier – “Crazy-o, daddy-o, get me moving. I can’t wait to get in that brown” – very likely that soldier hasn’t recovered from me yet.

    …

    Suddenly, I sprang up and peeped under both doors, the one I’d entered and another that probably was a closet. And then I bent and whispered fast in his ear. “Daddy-o, now you and me, we’re from up North here, so don’t you tell nobody. . . . I want to get sent down South. Organize them n***er soldiers, you dig? Steal us some guns, and kill us crackers!”

    That psychiatrist’s blue pencil dropped, and his professional manner fell off in all directions. He stared at me as if I were a snake’s egg hatching, fumbling for his red pencil. I knew I had him. I was going back out past Miss First when he said, “That will be all.”

        I’m about 2/3rds of the way through his autobiography and it’s very good just from an entertainment perspective. Plenty of other good stuff in there too, of course.

      Country Joe McDonald and the Fish!!!Haven’t heard that song since the '70s - there must be a wealth of songs from back then that are equally fitting to politics today 🤔…

      “GIMME AN F! GIMME A U! GIMME A C! GIMME A K! WHAT’S THAT SPELL? WHAT’S THAT SPELL?”

      I actually got to meet and really hang out with Country Joe for a while. He was a chill dude. Definitely a lib, but a “heart in the right place” kind of lib. But truth be told, at the time so was I.

    So, serious question comrades. If there’s a draft, do I just tell them to fuck off and take me to prison, or are we supposed to wait till they give us guns and then play an epic prank with the guns?

    Hypothetically in Bad Rats: The Rats’ Revenge ofc

      You should do the latter.

      If there is a draft, that is a large group of armed men that don’t really want to be there.
