    I see, I always assumed it was either people giving their info themselves or others did to prank you. I guess it makes sense for a country who loves perpetual war.

      We have to register for the draft, they have all our info then anyway when we turn 18. When I was a kid Gillette sent you a free razor and Old Spice sent you some deodorant.

      Don’t many countries have compulsory service at that age anyway (with educational deferments, which we basically have as well, college tuition differences notwithstanding).

        Well… As the “country” screaming the loudest about democracy. It’s hard to conflate the two. But seeing the terrible voting system over there, I guess that wouldn’t be fair.
