Imagine being fucking 42 and still willing to kill/die for this shithole country. wew.
Idk, I think there’s a real demographic of Divorced Dads who could qualify.

“fuck you, stacy!”
If they start the draft, many of us will just have to become trans, get bone spurs, or have low T.
Low T won’t save you as Hegseth wants to inject soldiers with T. Being trans also won’t save you as they will happily change their tune on the trans military ban during a draft as an excuse to throw trans women into the meat grinder.
I can’t wait for the lawsuits around legally compelled detransititions for military draft or any government positions.
They won’t refuse trans soldiers. They will just ban any action or expression which conforms to a gender identity not consistent with sex at birth, and selectively hand out corporal punishment for perceived infractions.
The Epstein class has to cull the proletariat somehow.
Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia
We’re at war with Westasia too though.
As a soldier, don’t we reserve the right to ignore orders that are unconstitutional?
And here I was expecting that AI will allow people to be more productive and retire early. Man, I was so naive.
No AI gets to make art and design systems which will leave us free to do the back breaking manual labor.
AI does not make art. It makes soulless, meaningless slop.
But at least it’s enabling child predators! Wait. Oh, no. Is AI actually a bad thing!?
I still have high hopes it’ll help the environment, at least?
Was? You think that AI is done causing problems? There are whole new classes of unknown problems waiting for us in the future…
“Was” doesn’t imply they think we’ve hit rock-bottom.
They were naive to think “AI” would improve things, but now they are appropriately pessimistic going forward.
35 is also pushing it
So you’re saying I still might have a chance to frag a commander, after all?
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 start 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.
I’ll hide ya.
In totalitarian regimes—communism, fascism, religious fundamentalism—popular support is a given. You can start wars, you can prolong them, you can put anyone in uniform for any length of time without ever having to worry about the slightest political backlash. In a democracy, the polar opposite is true. Public support must be husbanded as a finite national resource. It must be spent wisely, sparingly, and with the greatest return on your investment. America is especially sensitive to war weariness, and nothing brings on a backlash like the perception of defeat. I say “perception” because America is a very all-or-nothing society. We like the big win, the touchdown, the knockout in the first round. We like to know, and for everyone else to know, that our victory wasn’t only uncontested, it was positively devastating. -Max Brooks, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War
communism, fascism, religious fundamentalism
democracy
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?”
Thanks. I’ll convey this to Mr. Brooks for his consideration.
democracy is a mechanism for selecting leadership
No, it’s not. Or well, it’s more than that – especially ideologically. Quod omnes tangit, ab omnibus approbari debet – “what concerns everyone must be approved by everyone”.
what concerns everyone must be approved by everyone
Democracies don’t function this way. Majoritarian rule regionally occurs in defiance of some portion of the public citizenry.
Depending on how the Democracy is organized bureaucratically, it may even be the majority of the citizenry.
I’d call you sane
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.
recruit me at 39 and I hurt my back on day 1 tying my boots
Donald Trump and his war and all his followers can literally go fuck right on off with that bullshit. You can send all the republicans who voted for this shit including the republican senators. If 42 is cool, why not even older. Shit, they’ve lived their lives. Take one for the team guys
When the draft hits but I’m trans.
I’m sure undesirables like us who can’t be forced into the military will be forced into work camps.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/442nd_Infantry_Regiment
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.
Autist here, can I join ya? I’ve got Fallout 1 and 2 on disk.
Sony: He’s got physical media! Get 'em!
Don’t tell them about my record, VHS, DVD, and CD collections.
On disk!? 👀
Birthday gift from when I was like 12. Got the both of them at a pawn shop in rural Arkansas.
Do it. Send me. I will frag so many officers.
Yes sir I can be trusted with a drone!
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.
“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.
Innocent person = Psychopathic mass murderer 🫵😂
I guess it doesn’t feel bad when they’re brown does it?
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.
That you are a racist who wants to kill innocent brown people? Yes I get it
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.
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?
Hul didn’t you said theirs was no draft ? Try to keep ypur story straight little propagandist.
“immoral conscription” was the comment I replied to? Do you not know what those words mean? That’s called a draft in the country we are talking about.
But most of all 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
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
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.
It would bankrupt the country to add people we don’t need… It would be like a sports team paying to have 10x the players and not be able to put any of them on the field.
Creating a draft would drive voters to increase the pay and benefits of soldiers as well.
So yes it could happen. But it is a near 0% chance of happening.
Might wanna look up the origin of fragging, why it was A Thing and how the circumstances not only destroyed the draft, but the US presence in vietnam
It’s called having a fucking spine
Sorry for saying that, but I do disagree that “having a spine” means Anything. It’s all bs
Sounds about right lol
Do you want to admit that you area terrorist now? Because killing innocens without reason… Thats terrorist activity. trump may order some fucked up shit. That doesn’t mean the poor have the ability to help there kids while jumping ship. 99% of the military have never killed anyone
Bro this is a weird fucking hill to die on. You sound really fucking weird right now. Relax on the terrorism nonsense.
“I want to.l be a terrorist but I don’t want people to call me one”
Spineless
Spineless idiot
The terrorist is the the american army and the terrorist supporters are people like you
No one is “supporting” anyone here. Your just chosing to be a terrorist supporter and winding up on watch lists.
I do not support terrorism, you do
Murdering innocents with grenades because they were drafted… “You do”
If they’re voluntary participants in a hostile military conducting ethically unjustifiable actions then they’re not fucking innocent at all, dumbass
They aren’t volunteers if they are drafted as discussed. See a therapist, your calling people a dumbass for not wanting to murder people who are imagined to be conscripted
Nobody gets drafted into being a fucking officer dumbass
False.
You think you force conscription on 10 million people and don’t have someone in charge. What an idiot

Not sure if you’ve noticed, but shrapnel-based explosives tend to not leave a lot of evidence.
That’s just false. Most people hit by grenades live. They are also inventoried, and troops are in teams.
Why are people upvoting trying to murder someone they don’t even know. That’s just psychopathic.
They will know them by the time they do it.
That’s just psychopathic.
So is literally whatever they’re going to be drafted to do lol
So the person your fantasizing on murdering is there against their will as well… sheesh.
“But those little weak american soldiers HAD to kill Iranian children”
What the fuck are you talking about. This post was about drafting people to the military, and someone saying please draft me so I can throw a grenade at others who were drafted. 0 people in this have been to Iran
Go cry about it somewhere else dumbass
Most retarded person of the year award right here. Boy couldn’t even wish for dumbo ears
Ugh you sound like the Charlie Kirk apologists.
deleted by creator
No my man, you are Charlie Kirk right now. Fact. Murder innocenta because of “nothing”.
… What?
Anyone who questions? Check his history
Lmao did you go and downvote a bunch of my comments?
You like pancakes so you must hate waffles.
You are meme sir. Good day.
Make it a donut hole. Not eliglbe between the ages of 36 and 66 ^1/2. Drone technology can easily be applied to rollators and walkers.
I’m pretty sure that what you’re suggesting is very nearly the plot of John Scalzi’s “Old Man’s War”
