    If they start the draft, many of us will just have to become trans, get bone spurs, or have low T.

      Low T won’t save you as Hegseth wants to inject soldiers with T. Being trans also won’t save you as they will happily change their tune on the trans military ban during a draft as an excuse to throw trans women into the meat grinder.

        Klinger’s problem was slow reaction. Had he acted before they initially saw him, maybe. My dad was drafted in Vietnam and always told me to go right up and deep kiss the guy taking names. Although I don’t think that would work as well now.

        No, it’s about sending a message that immoral conscription has consequences. If it means sacrificing your own life to send that message, so be it.

          “I became a terrorist and murdered an innocent person because I didn’t agree with someone else’s decision.”

          The draft will never occur in the U.S. because we already have way to many people in the military. They don’t need to have a draft.

          Now if we made education and healthcare accessible to everyone like we should, we might not have as many people volunteering to go.

          Our military would grow to like 10x the current size if we had forced conscription like Israel or Korea.

          We couldn’t afford it.

            We have an effective volunteer military, for now.

            When civil unrest reaches critical mass the elites stop thinking about the military as a tool to force other countries to do what they want and start thinking about it as a tool to force the rabble to stay in line. This is the primary purpose of most militaries in the world.

            The failure of the war in Iran brings us closer to that point.

            Remember when everyone said Trump couldn’t win the election*? And since when has not having the money for war stopped the US from going to war? They just borrow against their kids.

                If you think “it can’t happen here”, with regards to a draft, you’re an idiot who has their head in the sand. Too many “it can’t happen here” things have been happening.

                  It would bankrupt the country to add people we don’t need… It would be like a sports team paying to have 10x the players and not be able to put any of them on the field.

                  Creating a draft would drive voters to increase the pay and benefits of soldiers as well.

                  So yes it could happen. But it is a near 0% chance of happening.

          That’s just false. Most people hit by grenades live. They are also inventoried, and troops are in teams.

          Why are people upvoting trying to murder someone they don’t even know. That’s just psychopathic.

                  What the fuck are you talking about. This post was about drafting people to the military, and someone saying please draft me so I can throw a grenade at others who were drafted. 0 people in this have been to Iran

        Might wanna look up the origin of fragging, why it was A Thing and how the circumstances not only destroyed the draft, but the US presence in vietnam

    You could get a waver to join at that age. I do think the US Military is a great option for people but it can be hard on a family though. It’s one of the reasons most of my friends did not renew. At 42 your probably have kids and probably have your life mostly fleshed out. The military was great for a lot of my friends and the benefits are good.
