Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It depends what kind of war. Drone warfare is great if the opposition is a non-state actor or a weak state where obliterating them at a distance and letting someone else deal with the clean up is on the table. Against a state on relatively equal footing that has the capacity to deal with drones and would require a proper occupation in order to defeat, it’s not that useful.
That’s what happened in Ukraine, a lot of the weaponry the U.S. sent over that was good at taking out ISIS didn’t fare so well against the proper Russian army.
All the blob actors are making noise about confronting China. There is no confronting China without a draft. Even if this is all a charade to juice stock prices, it could easily get out of control. Anyone who is of a draftable age or has friends or relatives of a draftable age in the US should have a plan for getting that person out of here.
Even with a draft, how are you gonna get anyone there?
Trump Cruise Lines. if you contribute your own money during conscription, you can upgrade your travel package and rank. a contribution of $1 million earns you the rank of Commodore and you are allowed to steer the ship!
I said how are they gonna get them to China, not Davey Jones locker
