Back in line Klinger
Rhaedas@fedia.io 1 month ago
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.

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.

So you just want to try to kill someone and be killed if not put in prison for life? Weird fetish lol

No, it’s about sending a message that immoral conscription has consequences. If it means sacrificing your own life to send that message, so be it.

Of course never would i EVER frag a commandant of the New Reich in his own tent with his own ordinance, trust me bro! Why would I, a humble conscript, ever lash out at the fascist regime that’s rounding up so many of my loved ones for summary extermination? Golly that would be awfully mean of me, just too cruel of me by far, to return even the tiniest, barest fraction of the gut wrenching agonizing tragedy they inflicted on us all BACK to them. Goodness forbid.

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.

An impediment to the U.S. military, you say? Now you really do have a moral obligation to sign up.

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.

Isn’t 35 also too old for the draft?
kibblebits@quokk.au 1 month ago
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)
Rhaedas@fedia.io 1 month ago
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.

They need a draft once all those Action Hero wannabes get swatted down by Iranian drones and the Canadian troops start rolling in to annex the southern province.
Who knew Fallout would be right about the annexation but wrong about which way it went?

Yeah, they will forcibly recruit anyone they want if their hold on power is seriously threatened
ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Most of war is getting things fixed or moving to the front line fighting. For every battalion fighting there is another fixing cars, doing laundry, cooking, or getting the paperwork in order for all of those. Doctors are just as important to an army as soldiers. None of those jobs is too much for a 35 year old getting 4 years of service in.
Ageist nonsense.

lyralycan@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
35 is too young imo, or should be the minimum age
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
Nah we need the military as an option for poor 18yos with no job or education prospects after highschool. Which, despite the declining birthright, is still somehow a growing demographic.
My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yeah, it should be, but 18-24 y/o’s are much easier to indoctrinate and radicalize, as well as far more reckless in their tolerance for risky activities.
infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 1 month ago
So you’re saying I still might have a chance to frag a commander, after all?
SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 1 month ago
If there’s a draft, I hope the MAGAs cry when their kids and grandkids get dragged off to boot camp.
devedeset@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
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.
Draegur@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
Whether to boot camp or concentration camp, this Reich has camps for all of us ._.

Turns out that while fascism fetishizes the ingroup in it doesn’t improve life for them except a small portion of unexceptional members whom it elevates to positions they really shouldn’t be in
Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Their kids have probably disowned them and cut contract, so they might be happy they are off to war to become “war fighters” and get testosterone shots
technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Plus what do they need to draft people for?
They only need a few brainwashed children to fly drones from an air conditioned trailer.

cloudshouter@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
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.

And here I was expecting that AI will allow people to be more productive and retire early. Man, I was so naive.

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 started 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.

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?”
