An armed populace can defend the homeland from invasion. In fact that is one of the reasons it exists.

Because it only selects those not exempt from having to defend their countries. In an ideal world all would be available to be called to action. If there truly was a threat, why wouldn't we commit every resource at it?

If anyone invaded our country, I would grab a gun and shoot the invaders if they came into my community. I know you would as well.

According to Wikipedia.org:

"The Selective Service System serves at least two purposes. It is the means by which the United States administers military conscription. It entails registering all males between the ages of 18 and 26 with the system for the purpose of having information available about potential soldiers in the event of war. Registration for Selective Service is also required by certain U.S. departments, before one's application for employment may be considered."

I'm sure most of us realize the actions of the Selective Service is unconstitutional. We are born "Free." This freedom is given to us by our creator, not given to us by a government. Therefore, we are free to choose to fight or not fight as we see fit.

Because the state likes to defend our country "over there"

Well lets see... The government steals from, murders, kidnaps, and imprisons innocent people on a daily basis. Is it really surprising that they enslave innocent people as well? Of course not. Your answer is, they are criminals. Criminals act only to enrich themselves and their friends.

Why is there Selective Service when involuntary servitude is illegal? Just in case you don't choose to "volunteer", kinda like with the "voluntary" income tax ( extortion ) part time slavery.

Anyone beginning to see the patterns here? ;)
