oh shit we're going to get drafted aren't we
A draft would be a civil war, especially if they set it at 42.
Nobody would fucking go, and we'd see ICE agents used to round up anyone "military aged" starting in poverty striken neighborhoods and eventually expanding.
trump's dumb enough to try it tho, so we're probably gonna find out.
You know that at very least Hegseth has been walking around with a half chub at the thought of reinstating the draft. We're talking about invading multiple countries at any given time. All of the strong man dictators that Trump admires are in countries with compulsory military service.Then there's the timing of the announcement that Barron is ineligible to serve because he's too tall or some shit, the press secretary refusing to rule out a draft, and now this. I think they are seriously contemplating the possibility of a mandatory draft in the future.
Huh, so their logic is draft me, give me a gun, teach me to shoot, and throw a military parade birthday party.
This is going to be one for the books.
Their logic is to draft you, put you in high vis hand-me -downs that have had their previous holes patched up, and put you on the front lines with rocks until his problem solves itself.
It's okay, just made a not so subtle reference to fragging. You might be locked up but you won't be murdering some innocent child who was born the wrong color!
That's my plan at least. Lol but the exasperated kind of lol not like a haha yknow
I think they should raise the upper and the lower limit. Let’s send 55 to 85 year olds. Maybe that way it will end sooner.
hey thats RUSSIAS policy now.
And Trump will be following Russians lead.
We lost 58,000 in Vietnam in over 10 years, and less than 5000 in Afghanistan in 20 years. Putin has lost 1.2 million in 4 years.
Trump is going to fight a war like Putin, because he will see those deaths as a score, and the more people that sacrifice their lives for him, the more important he is in history. People talk about Hitler and Stalin because of how many people they killed, so if he wants to be remembered for all time, he has to get real dictator numbers for his war.
BTW, when it becomes clear that he doesn't know what he's doing, and he is just sending American soldiers to die in an endless meat-grinder war, enlistments will end. Then he's going to call for a draft, and literally enslave young American men to die for him.
Running up the war dead because he thinks it makes him look more powerful is typical Trump logic.
That should be a global policy. These old fucks can start fighting their own wars for once in history
Well, that is not a good sign.
Yeah the war with Iran is going to be a long one.
iran likely wont lose too much since they have the home advantage, plus they have been preparing for a long time.
I can't, my bone spurs hurt.
Is your daddy rich? No? Off to the front with you!
Why did Trump get rid of all of that DEI stuff again? Wasn't the claim that it was lowering our standards? So, if that's true, then getting rid of DEI should mean we can meet our hiring quotas while still maintaining high standards, right?
Because if they get rid of DEI and they still had to lower hiring standards for the military, just as they also recently did for the DOJ, then that's pretty conclusive evidence that their objections to DEI were completely about bigotry and not about the competency of the candidates.
Oh thank god I turn 43 next month…really dodged the bullet or draft on that one…
The draft was already authorized to go up to 45, just hasn't been used that high.
I hope they try and draft my ass. There is no way in hell I'll ever fight for this country again. Been there done that, don't recommend.
One of these things is good. Unfortunately, all of it is in service of getting warm bodies to participate in Operation Epstein's Fury.
42?
Who da fuq is going to survive Basic at 42?
That will be fixed soon too.
Meal Team Six! Fall in!
If the draft comes, I guess this is a perk of having POTS. But I would bet being the only male I've ever met with it, they're going to do all the stupid ass testing because they won't believe my entire medical record
It's simply amazing to me that we're going to have to start funneling people into Canada and Mexico again to escape this stupid bullshit.
This is basically Trump emulating Putin. 100% if Operation Epstein Distraction goes poorly, they're going to pull the same shit. And we still have (theoretically) 2.5 years of this shit to go.
cuba invasion again, is thier contigency plan if the ME doesnt go well.
I don't think they'll care about medical issues. They'll probably just send people with them to be canon fodder.
WARFIGHTERS! WARFIGHTERS! WARF- puuuuuuufffffffffff gasp ... ... ... cough cough cough ighters! Oh, hey! Heyyy!
Lowering the bar for stoners... I remember Buffalo Soldiers.
I'd rather snort cocaine right in front of the MEPS people and end up in prison than ever fight for this bastard.
lol what, no one is signing up to die so Netanyahu and Trump can avoid prison?
