Don’t count on the draft not coming back. They’re already trying to push enlistment age up.

If people are dumb enough to enlist…. They’re dumb enough to serve. And if they’re dumb enough to serve, they’re dumb enough to die pointlessly.
No one should ever serve these administrations that don’t and will not represent us.

Replace dumb with desperate and you got it right, despite Hegseth, despite the elective war without goals or strategy, despite the conditions on the Lincoln, all branches of the US armed forces are making their recruitment quotas, where before, recruitment was beset by the obesity crisis and an epidemic of bullying, abuse and SA of the enlisted.
And FOX News has been calling for the draft and escalation specifically to thin the ranks of zoomers and alphas.

Dumb and/or desperate is closer to the truth. Some people who join have alternatives, and choose the military because they stupidly romanticize it.
