        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.

            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.

            Although I will point out that Trump and Elon bragged about rigging the election, that’s besides the point.

          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.
