Depends what we are fighting. Since I'm a chick, I wouldn't get drafted. However, if we were fighting against some totalitarian government or fascist state whom is threatening freedom in other countries, then I would go for the long range.
To think, the only country Canada has ever declared war on was Germany in WW2 ._.

Hmmm... you've yet to be tainted by the inevitable knowledge that human nature prevents mankind from being a peaceful race... Interesting...PersianLlama said:
I'm not convinced by some of the options such as behind the lines support where you'd never have to touch a weapon... I know that in Britain, even the cooks in the navy are made to train in weaponary.
But that aside, assuming it was possible, I'd take something like civilian service where I never had to touch a gun. Ever. I'm not going to pretend it's for some noble reason such as killing is wrong, or disagreeing with war. It's because few things terrify me more than guns.

And what's wrong with that? You're getting paid as military personnel and you'll be feeding troops near the front, so if some enemies decide to crash the dinner party, you should be able to defend your shipmates and let the U.K. government get their money's worth. It's much the same in every military: regardless of your job, you receive weapons training.Psepha said:
I pick none. I plan on becoming fat and out of shape before a new world order begins and I will be drafted out of my house. Believe me, they won't draft me in the state I'll be in. After that I'll just get liposuction.
Military service could be good for me. It would force me to get in shape.
I'd apply for a medical position, on the front lines or behind the lines, it would not matter.

I'd Sneak Out as a primary. If they caught me, and forced me in, Long Range. It's about 3 times as grueling and makes you miserable, but odds of getting shot are significantly less than Front Line Infantry. Also, I'm naturally lazy, so staying prone on the ground for a long time woulden't phase me as bad.
Other animals don't go to war. They may fight sometimes, but they don't go to war.angryscotsman93 said:
Nope, because then if even only one human does fights he always wins. Creating a very unstable system. I would recommend dawkins "selfish gene" it has some very good stuff about behavior systems and the way they stabilize.PersianLlama said:
A sniper role is most definitely not "long range" but rather very much a front line one. Long range in combat means artillery.Levaetus said:
Flee.
I have friends in multiple countries, they (probably) wouldn't mind if I crashed there. For a few years
.
Failing that, I would temporarily screw up my feet/hands, so that I wouldn't be able to walk/pick up stuff (for a somewhat long period of time). Nothing permanent, though.

I didn't understand most of the choices here, but if I am to serve in the military, I'm going to make the best of it.
I'll enlist in support, most likely working with computers, or trying my hand at journalism, working with cameras and such. Whichever would allow me to do that, I'd go for it.

One thing this thread shows me is how many people are duped by games to think Sniper is a "long range" or "easy" to do.
I'm planning to, mate.SakSak said:
Seriously, I'm gonna join the American military as soon as possible; hopefully as a combat engineer or a pilot of some kind, but I'm not too picky so long as it actually involves something vaguely resembling combat- I'm not gonna sign a four-year contract to end up serving MRE's to the guys who actually go out and slug it out with our enemies.
