not sure if the military would want someone like me. A 34 year old with semi-bad knees and a not so good back.

I'd imagine pretty low. I'm on the higher end of the age range, and I already work for the military as a civilian.

Pretty low considering I live in another country.

I'm not an expert on drafts but doesn't that make me ineligable?

Negative chance, odds are better they'd send a message saying I can't sign up at all.

Sure but I don't think you can draft residents of a nation who aren't citizens

And I don't think a nation can force it's citizens to fly international to return to their own country (and ruin their life/job/family behind) just to be drafted

I mean what are they going to do if you say no? Request criminal extraction internationally?

Need an armchair lawyer in here

Zero. Im old. But my husband is an officer in the Navy Reserve. He hasnt been affected yet but could be (or could volunteer).

My son turns 18 this summer but has a low chance because he has physical issues (CP in his legs) and autism. Even if he were, he would never make it through training. If he didnt get kicked out, he would be killed by his own team because hes such a narcissist.

We're all able to get drafted. Just only some should actually be in combat. Others can be cooks or drone pilots or other non-physically demanding roles.

As far as I know zero. I was in the Army from 2007-2011 and they could have recalled me to active duty until 2015 because I was in the IRR (inactive ready reserve) because technically anyone that enlists is signing up for an 8 year obligation even if you are at the end of the active part of your contract (this is how stop loss worked).

Being overseas when your number is called is not considered a valid excuse to not respond to the draft. You can ignore it, but you better hope you get a presidential pardon when the war is over or the next time you go back to America, you'll do so in chains.

I also scream about how doctors should save people and basketball players should make shots. Guess I need to grab a scalpel and join the NBA before speaking on such matters.

Probably 0 or close to it. I'm 31 and have terrible knees. I've had 3 ACL surgeries on the same knee. I'm also flat footed. I hear you can still get in while flat footed, but I feel like with everything else against me, I doubt they'd bother.

If we go to war with Russia, if I could get into shape, and if they'd accept me, I might be willing to become a fighter pilot. I'd probably get a tattoo of the Star Fox logo if I did.
