You are scared to serve the country you are living in? Feel free to move or something. Wehn there's an all out war, we don't need leeches or the like.

No you cannot be drafted into the U.S> military if you are not a citizen. YOU can how ever join and we might consider citizen if you did.

Are you a Permanent Resident (green card holder)?

If yes, you can be drafted if the draft is reinstated (act of Congress required) and you are are a man between the ages of 18-26.

Male permanent residents are required to register for the selective service when:
1. They turn it
2. When they get their permanent residency approved and if they are between the ages of 18-26

Failure to register for the Selecitve Service if applicable can lead to denial of a citizenship application.

not likely since there is no draft.

As there is no US draft I would say NO.
Funny story:
I had a friend who got a "draft registration notice" back in the mid 80's it was so funny because This friend was:
1) a green card alien (not eligable)
2) a female (not eligable)
3) 16 years old (not eligable)
Silly Government.

Not even if you were a citizen.... we don't have a draft.

No, you cannot. But you can sign up for service in the army and the navy and get legal in return(without some of the waiting too).

No. We have an all-volunteer army now.
There is no draft anymore.

The US Army doesn't have a draft, it's voluntary

One of the requirements in being in the United States Military is that you must be a US Citizen.

So the answer to your question is no...

No...there is no draft....but if there were and you are not a US Citizen, what are you doing here?

jackie

If you live in this country, you should be the first to go.

You can choose to join, which will speed up your chances to become a legal citizen.

Oh Dee!

Noooooooo, But you will be in the Army if you volunteered, and there were a lot of war that the U.S did involve, who wants to be a U.S citizen anyway?

You cannot be drafted by the US if you are not a US citizen. You could be drafted by your country of origin however.
Besides, there is no current draft in the US. Who have you been talking to?

Julee.

there is no draft and if your not a US citizen then you can't fight I think but I'm not 100% sure but it would just be the most logical answer.

missashley929

no. you could possibly be drafted into another sort of force- if the country you are from has one.
