“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.

By definition there’s no such thing as an innocent military member.

Btw you are 100% Israel. Never been better a single day of your life. Your words proved it

So let me ask, do you think it would be proper to report this as a terrorist site. Choosing to murder a random person who has no choice to the military?

Innocent person = Psychopathic mass murderer 🫵😂
I guess it doesn’t feel bad when they’re brown does it?
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You are imagining the people who are drafted are brown now? Now we are going fr racist terrorists. Let’s see if we can keep building

You don’t get it do you? I guess this level of intelligence is expected of imperialist dickriders.

The draft will never happen because all the commanders would get fragged.

The number of “frags” near “U.S. commanders” is near 0. People like Pete Hegseth are stupid, but even they aren’t stupid enough to choose to go into an active warzone

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.

As the country gets gets poorer, unfortunately we only end up with more volunteers.

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.

Base any of your thoughts on facts. Trump’s an idiot. You are too according to this
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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.
