If the US or our allies were under attack by a capable aggressor, to the point where a draft needed to be instituted, I would absolutely serve my country.

Under the current circumstances, misled into a costly, foolish, and unnecessary war, against a country that wasn't even a threat to its neighbors... Je vous verrai au Québec. (Pardon my babelfish-French.)

You might want to rethink that. I heard a story about this guy's dad, who had a low lottery number for Vietnam and decided to enlist. He figured he could get a non-combat role, instead of getting stuck on a hill with a gun. He ended up in some kind of communications unit. They stuck him on a hill with no gun.
