I’m not dying for rich people that got power and decided to break literally every stabilizing thing in geopolitics so that they could make more money and then start a war to cover it up.
I might die because of them, but there’s no way I’m dying for them. If they draft, I’m running. call me whatever you want.
In totalitarian regimes—communism, fascism, religious fundamentalism—popular support is a given. You can start wars, you can prolong them, you can put anyone in uniform for any length of time without ever having to worry about the slightest political backlash. In a democracy, the polar opposite is true. Public support must be husbanded as a finite national resource. It must be spent wisely, sparingly, and with the greatest return on your investment. America is especially sensitive to war weariness, and nothing brings on a backlash like the perception of defeat. I say “perception” because America is a very all-or-nothing society. We like the big win, the touchdown, the knockout in the first round. We like to know, and for everyone else to know, that our victory wasn’t only uncontested, it was positively devastating. -Max Brooks, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War
communism, fascism, religious fundamentalism
democracy
Point of order, democracy is a mechanism for selecting leadership, not an ideology of governance.
Democracies routinely produce Communist, Fascist, and Religious Fundamentalist leaders.
Like, I know it's a quote and all. But it's just a Baby's First PolySci view of how civilizations organize themselves. Not an ounce of Lockean Theory to be found.
That's before you get into the reality of Republican governance and practical enfranchisement. You can't go rolling up on Thomas Jefferson's slaves and announcing "Idiots, it's a democracy, why did you vote for this?"
Thanks. I'll convey this to Mr. Brooks for his consideration.
Oops ima bigo tranny,sorry, I’m not allowed
Back in line Klinger
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.
what do i do if he kisses back
put a ring on it
Don't worry, it's only a matter of time before they toss you in jail for attempting to draft dodge and forcibly detransition you, thus making you eligible.
I got banned for being trans 😎
Then I'm turning friendly fire on
Edit: Don't feel too bad as long as I get to take some out with me
Do it. Send me. I will frag so many officers.
Yes sir I can be trusted with a drone!
Man, I did some light manual labor yesterday and I can barely stand today. I can't go to fucking war without severely endangering every friendly around me.
So no, 45 is not the new thirty fucking anything.
When the draft hits but I'm trans.
I'm sure undesirables like us who can't be forced into the military will be forced into work camps.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/442nd_Infantry_Regiment
The 442nd Infantry Regiment is the most decorate unit in U.S. military history. This is because they were all Americans of Japanese decent during WWII and were sent on suicide missions.
what retirement, my retirement plan is dying in Greater European Water Wars (2041-ongoing)
Isn't 35 also too old for the draft?
They increased the max to 42
https://www.goarmy.com/how-to-join/requirements
This is not a draft. Which is like 18-26ish typically.
BUT, that doesn’t mean the draft is fixed at those ages. BUT, I doubt they would ever need to draft up to 42 based on the US population and the willingness of psychos to want to a) kill people or b) get paid to kill people via promises of a better life later as a veteran (Baby killer)
There's the ones who like to shoot things, but don't forget the c) it's either join the military for pay or live in poverty or worse.
You're never too old to soak up an FPV drone
Join the navy so that a single $300 drone can destroy a $50B Trump class battleship
If there's a draft, I hope the MAGAs cry when their kids and grandkids get dragged off to boot camp.
A draft at this point would result in massive civil unrest. I'm pretty sure even casual MAGA people would lose their shit. The Iran war is already massively unpopular.
So you're saying I still might have a chance to frag a commander, after all?
And here I was expecting that AI will allow people to be more productive and retire early. Man, I was so naive.
People don’t want to fight pedos war in Petey’s army so they expanded to recruit pool.
Training will have to be different. I am already to fed up with crap to have a drill instructor yell at me. They can give instructions and support, but I’m not getting “instilled” with anything. Or maybe not. We see MAGA incel man cult guys paying thousands to get tormented at knock off BUDs training camps.
If they start the draft, many of us will just have to become trans, get bone spurs, or have low T.
Imagine being fucking 42 and still willing to kill/die for this shithole country. wew.
recruit me at 39 and I hurt my back on day 1 tying my boots
The Epstein class has to cull the proletariat somehow.
