I dont see the issue, obviously they’ll just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and win the war, it was easy back in their day so it’ll be easy for them now. Kids today are just lazy
A modest proposal

I don’t think Vietnam is views as easy nor was it successful.

Seems the comment you replied to was a joke, friend

Vietnam war medals are participation trophies.

This is exactly the time, send them off to die for the bullshit they voted for.

Draft the rich. Working class solidarity is fundamental for revolution. Boomers and Zoomers need to co-operate to defeat the Epstein class.

if they would start drafting the rich, wars would suddenly stop and there would be world peace.

Soldiers would suddenly make tax free millions while not actually going to warzones. They’d still rape children, like real soldiers

There are many, many millions more of us than there are of them. If we can organize, we can make it happen.

I confess to tapping the speaker icon in the corner. I must be punished.

If you want to be punished I can connect you with some people.

Dude why do you think they had Vietnam?
Wasn’t enough houses, colleges, and jobs for all of the boomers that were coming of age.
Cull the herd a bit. Problem solved.

You want to send grandma and grandpa to war?
How about we send the people who support it, and started it, and the filthy rich?

Definitely. Generational divide is another tool of capital to reduce solidarity of the working class.
pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 3 hours ago
How about just republicans. If you vote for trump, it automatically signs you up for the draft.

Can you imagine how horrific it would be for the sergeants to wrangle a squad or platoon of boomers and actually get anything accomplished?

Would also be legit hilarious.

Let them show us how “lift yourself up by your bootstraps” work

I mean modern weapons are so easy to use that even the elderly can be effective with them. I agree, let’s draft them. More jobs, more houses for real Americans

Is this community no longer going to be about posting shitposts? Because if I want political posts then I can get that from the many politics communities that already exist, or by reading newspapers.

Seriously, I love the actual shitposts posted here but most of the time it feels like I’ve accidentally subscribed to USA politics or something

I ran into an elderly man at the grocery store this weekend, proudly wearing a crisp new “Trump 2028” baseball cap. Make his dumb ass a front-lines infantryman.

There is a compelling argument to partially revert to the days of warrior kings. Every government who wants war has to be conscripted to fight on the front lines.

Famous millennial, senile and bloated trump.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
Sort of the joke. “Trump’s brain dead! He’s being led around by the nose!”
“Okay, who is leading him around”
glances at the Millennial/GenX cabinet “Trump is playing 11D chess!”
Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 3 hours ago
Generational cohort analysis has no business here.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
Boomers did this
Applause
Wait, it looks like Millennials/GenX
“Hey hey! Enough of this generation blaming!”

WoodScientist@lemmy.world 32 minutes ago
I mean, with modern drone armies, there’s less and less need to restrict the draft to they young…
