If someone close to you was going to be drafted could you shoot them in the foot?

[Hitchhiker]

They have accepted that they are getting drafted and will leave in a week. Do you think you could shoot them in the foot so that they can't go, even if it was against their will?

What kind of question is that? Yes you could. And you would be prosecuted afterwards.

I mean like would you have the mental fortitude to do it. Do you think that you would be able to look your father, brother, or someone else in the eye and shoot them so they'll avoid being drafted. Would you be able to live with yourself is the question.

What if your buddy set up a gun with the trigger attached to a piece of floss tied to a door knob, then he put his foot in front of the gun and called you in to the room? When you pulled the door open the gun would shoot him in the foot.

Oh, are we bringing the draft back? With the way our VA is run, it might be better for him if I simply shot him in the head. Saves everyone a lot of trouble.

I heard it is much better to wait until they are in the army and then have them drop something heavy on their foot. Then they still get out of military service plus compensation for getting hurt.

What if you set up a Rube (Goldberg) machine to shoot them in the foot. That way, you are absolved of pulling the trigger and it could simply be labeled a "coincidence"

If they have accepted it, I'll respect their wishes.

Realistically, I also would not want to do that because the injury may infect and worsen (even if it's treated), and the chance of them being at great risk is very possible. I'll be doing them a disservice, get sued, and they'll cut ties with me afterwards.

Let them make their own future.

You would still be morally responsible, because the intention of the machine was to ultimately shoot them.

If it was simply to cover up your crime, you could do so in more efficient ways, and not resort to a method that's so comical.

Id shoot them in the ass
With my dick

 

[Neo-Nazi Rich Evans]

i think i would try to find other way stop get them out of the draft other than potentially crippling them for life. maybe suggest they try a religious exception, and if not then give them enough money to get out of the country.

But it is comical.
