        I see, I always assumed it was either people giving their info themselves or others did to prank you. I guess it makes sense for a country who loves perpetual war.

            Well… As the “country” screaming the loudest about democracy. It’s hard to not conflate the two. But seeing the terrible voting system over there, I guess that wouldn’t be fair.

          We have to register for the draft, they have all our info then anyway when we turn 18. When I was a kid Gillette sent you a free razor and Old Spice sent you some deodorant.

          Don’t many countries have compulsory service at that age anyway (with educational deferments, which we basically have as well, college tuition differences notwithstanding).

      Yeah, but if you go to a good high school they send recruiters who may tell you to commission instead of only to enlist

      And no they don’t take “ineligible” for an answer. I didn’t want to die for oil, but even if I did they wouldn’t let me, but they also wouldn’t leave me alone.

        Can’t you just block the number? Or do they use a lot of different numbers.
