Ouch, my bone spurs.
Sadly, we all have "bone spurs", sorry my guy
The motherfucking racist pedo chicken shit draft dodger is seriously considering military conscription, eh. Every single MAGA fuck should be lining up at the US Army Recruiting Office and signing the dotted line for 11B (Infantry).
Can someone drop a house on this bitch already?
There are like so many people working on this rn.
captain bone spurs wants conscription; that’s rich
Enjoy this MAGAts!
I think they should be the first to volunteer. They were the ones stupid enough to think it was the Democratic Party that was warlike (LOL) and voted for the pedophile used car salesman.
They won’t be the ones drafted.
Why on earth would the US government risk a public outrage when they can just keep the system as it is and have poor people enlist for money?
Fascism is capitalism in decay. As capitalism "runs out of runway", the capitalists start stripping the country for parts. In order to distract people/tamp down revolutionary anger, and squeeze the last profits, they'll reorient society towards total war. War at home and abroad.
All the senator's sons safe tho.
A draft would ensure an entire generation never votes Republican again.
Who do you think is going to be drafted? You think the DOGE data grab plus the requests for state voter registration rolls aren't going to be used to filter a draft of the front lines to those they want out of the country?
How do you get US citizens out of the country if you can't legally deport them?
If they've been doing illegal shit the whole time with profiling, do you really think they aren't going to also profile in how they conduct a draft?
And if you draft all of your political enemies to be the bulk of your military force, you’re giving them the training and the weaponry/keys to everything that allows them to go ahead with a coup.
That’s a bold strategy. They’re kind of fucked in both scenarios.
It's really a question of scale. You don't make the majority of your draftees political draftees. Imagine if only one in twenty soldiers is drafted due to their political activities. You're not trying to draft every single person in the country that would want to vote against you. Rather, you draft people who start up resistance movements or alternative political parties. You don't draft everyone who attends the protest. But you do draft all the protest leaders. You start with the most prominent and go down the line until you've filled up as many of your political drafts as you feel comfortable.
It can be a very useful tool for a despot to target their political opposition. And it also has a silencing effect. It won't take long for people to notice and to prove that the draft board is politically biased. But then the courts OK it for some bullshit reason. Now you live in a country with a draft board that is politically motivated and not even trying to hide it. Imagine what effect that has on people's willingness to resist the regime.
But yeah, imagine being one of those political draftees. You're one in twenty. And everyone is told you're a political draftee, so no one wants to trust you. They know even being near you could cast suspicion on them. The vast majority of those around you are just poor unlucky bastards whose number came up. They tried their best to remain outside of politics, but politics came for them anyway. They just want to quietly do their time, keep their head down, and do their best to survive. Imagine being one of those one in twenty and trying to organize a coup. Maybe it would work. But history shows such rebellions are quite rare.
Not if they use the Russian approach of not training you, not giving you a proper weapon, and sending you out to swarm the enemy and keep them busy killing you in large numbers. And shooting you themselves if you ask questions.
Not if you ship them all off to be killed in war with little to no training first.
Seems likely from Putin fan Krasnov.
It's a good thing they have all of our voting data and will be able to target conscription on those they don't like, which is exactly why and how they would do this.
He’ll probably figure out some way to target blue states only.
He’s really familiar with draft dodging so he won’t be surprised when the majority tells him to fuck right off
A lot of commanding officers are about to have accidents if they do that.
Yeah, I thought if anything, Vietnam tought the lesson that the draft is a terrible idea for overseas deployment.
Of course, learning from history is not exactly the style of this administration.
