mamiam Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 That's too many competitions for me Swatch, Wicked, this new one... (even if I don't do the Wicked one) they think we are all as full of energy as Mika And after all, I assume that the great majority of us here at MFC have lots of other tasks in life, than to concentrate on MIKA...

Christine Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I can understand that... I think it's different for a country like France, because our army is only professional at the moment. The US army is also voluntary at the moment but it's hard to forget Vietnam when people were forced into a draft. And I'm sure a lot of people, like Guy, wondered when 9/11 hit if it wasn't going to force another draft because no one knew where things were headed.

We do? You know, there are some days when I forget that I'm NOT supposed to be spending the entire day reading about Mika and watching Mika videos. I really need to find a little more balance in my life! The US army is also voluntary at the moment but it's hard to forget Vietnam when people were forced into a draft. And I'm sure a lot of people, like Guy, wondered when 9/11 hit if it wasn't going to force another draft because no one knew where things were headed. Ugh, 9/11 was such a scary time. My son was only 9 at the time, and I remember thinking how grateful I was that he was that young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean that people going to Irak were only volunteers? (sorry, I think I should have known that but the fact is that I don't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(sorry, I think I should have known that but the fact is that I don't) Not volunteers exactly -- what I mean is, they were regular enlisted men and women, who were working in the US military as their jobs. So when the US goes to war, they have to go where they're assigned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when the US goes to war, they have to go where they're assigned. Yes sorry that's what I meant although I guess people subsequently enlisted because of the call to war as well and of course the military would have beefed up recruitment efforts to get people joining voluntarily. When you have got China and Russia balking at US involvement in Syria there is always an underlying threat that things are going to escalate way beyond a quick surgical strike and turn into something that requires many boots on the ground and potentially a conscripted military.

They wouldn't have revealed it so soon, before the Swatch competition even starts, would they? They had this same design/picture in one of the Swatch vids (a vid about an earlier Swatch event) and I thought the same, that they wouldn't reveal it that early (and he wouldn't use TBWKTM design any way, or would he??). I hope not because I wanted it to be a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiibet Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) I doubt that's the design. It wouldn't look good on a watch. Well they had a styled version of this design (the same color scheme) in shape of big watch Maybe someone can remember and link the vid. I thought it's just promotion, that they wouldn't reveal it that early.
