hmmm. My dad was drafted into the Navy. He was born in '31. So he could have been born any time after that.

The last US draft lottery was drawn in early '72, and selective service registration went entirely on hiatus from '75 to '78. We have not had a draft in 45 years.

Add [Navy draftee](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20121034&postcount=110) to the list of trolls. Capitalizing Mr. Obama’s middle name, how original.

He gets a warning, and he tells the mod to stick the warning up his ass and he’s still here. What? Does he have naked pictures of the Cecil’s wife or something?

He got another warning for that, I think. Not sure why he’s still here.

Most (all) of us have jobs. It takes a while to gather everyone. The lever is heavy and requires multiple participants to pull.

He’s gone. He won’t be missed. He didn’t even add entertainment value.

Please don’t think that was criticism. You all are awesome. The lever has been pulled with alacrity recently and it’s appreciated.

The only problem with that you see, is that killbots have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, spamtrolls will just sent wave after wave of their own men at them until they reach their limit and shut down.

You want a kill bot? You’ve come to the right place. I have all your kill bots needs in one convenient place.
