I never thought I'd see a POTUS consider denaturalising US citizens as well so you'd hope they won't draft you but I wouldn't discount it. Cannon fodder is always necessary especially if you're not white or MAGA.

At least my death after I'm drafted in the wars over oil will raise the share price of the Military-Industrial Complex shareholders, bless them 🙏🙏🙏

I’ll kill half a dozen cops or MP’s or die trying if they try to forcibly deploy me before I do a single goddamn thing for Trumps Military.

If somehow I’m deployed against my wishes my first action is to make a white flag out of my underwear, surrender to whoever they deploy me against, and share as much intelligence as I have (probably 0 but who cares).

This isn’t some power fantasy by the way, I don’t want to hurt anyone.

We have assessed your current situation and are pleased to inform you we have created a project for people with skills like yourself.

Welcome to operation meat shield where we'll cash in those 30 years of contributions and pensions to keep the markets going I up and the boomers from having to face consequences.

The issue is that many of us are also concerned about the others who would or at least could be drafted. Our children. The younger adults we've taken under our wings and built friendships with. It's hardly any comfort knowing that I would never be drafted. Granted, I don't think there's a good chance of anybody getting drafted in my lifetime, but stupider shit has already happened, so there you go.

What if they need drone operators? Our fat 40 year old asses have been playing games since the late 80s, and those skills are finally in demand.

The motivation for most new recruits in the US military is escaping poverty. That poverty is on purpose to funnel recruits into the military. Unlikely to ever be a draft again, they'll just ramp up the poverty.

We need socialisam

I have a bone spur in my foot, can I also dodge a draft?

When Nazi Germany decided to declare war on the whole world, their leaders remarked that some of the fighters they were forced to use were "old meat" and "green vegetables". (So-called "casserole" units.)

It's one thing to think you're invincible and quite another to commit acts of state-sponsored terrorism and war in the belief that you're untouchable, but if there's anyone in the world who seems willing to find the breaking point, it appears to be Donald.

Remember that when a dictator runs out of qualified people, they'll draft anyone who has a pulse to keep things going.

Wishful thinking, in the Serbian- Croatian war they were drafting 60 year olds. Russia has dropped any medical exemptions.

NGL, I had to legitimately tell myself this the other day. I spent most of my formative years as a young adult worried that the neverending war in the middle east would escalate and I would be drafted. I was not alone in this fear either, most of my peers had plans to flee the country if Bush called for conscription.

It never did end up happening, probably because the war was deeply unpopular after it was clear that the invasion was just a pretense for regime change and not at all related to 9/11 or WMDs.

I think the mental trauma from that never healed, and now I'm pushing 40 and still thinking every new "war" we start will have the MPs knocking at my door to serve me my mustering papers.

Gun nut wannabe operators are like our primary domestic product. Decades of defense propaganda in TV, movies, and games has guaranteed no shortage of willing idiots with expendable bodies who have already foregone their humanity for the fantasy of headshotting the men and raping the women. America will rip apart at the seams before it ever sees another general draft.

War is how the rich kill off the poor.

General strike is the only solution.

Now I have to worry about my son being drafted.

You know what I'm thinking, I applaud that the Gen Z are into fitness and wellness. But they are influenced by the right through social media, and the right are probably conditioning kids so that they will be fit for a future war. It sounds conspiratorial, but the Heritage Foundation is already dictating social policies in America and beyond. Steve Bannon is their dark missionary by evangelising abroad and wanting the EU to fragment.

Still gets drafted...

...After the administration takes away healthcare for service people.

The dr. Phil's are out in full force here 🤣

Millennials spent our time terrified of a draft 10-20 years ago. Gen Z, welcome to the "anti war for my own self preservation" club, we [millennials] really did try to keep you out of it

"Next thing you know you've got Uncle Sam's ass askin'
To join the army or what you'll do for their Navy
You just a baby
Gettin' recruited at eighteen
You're on a plane now
Eating their food and their baked beans
I'm 28
They gonna take you 'fore they take me"

Still fit for duty, operation meat shield go!

Americans are not unhealthy due to lack of affordable healthcare. They are unhealthy due to the availability of cheap, heavily processed, high calorie foods.

Could you at least replace my windows if you're going to hit that close to home?

A lot of us elder millennials are scared for our kids. I’d rather go in his place . If it comes to that
