No n00b, that is patently ridiculous and idiotic in the extreme.

Great info.

Yeah today a draftee would need almost to be treated as someone who had been brainwashed. It would take at least 9 months and those that didn’t make it would get less money and benefits or something. But it would allow the Conservatives the opportunity to win back the hearts and minds that had been destroyed by the AltRegressive Left Education system... 12 years of poison...how long does that take to cure.

Hey maybe we can start free summer camp starting at age 10...at places like 29 Palms California...One month a year just might slow the poisoning down a bit.

Yes and no college exclusion. All should serve their country for 18 months.It would sure cure the PC culture on today’s Campuses.
It works well in Israel.

No, but offer better pay, much, much better pay, I’m talking about hazard pay times 3.

No

There is nothing more demoralizing to a unit then having people who don’t want to be there.

No.

Instead of loading our military with a bunch of whiny degenerates, how about we start and organized slap down of those in our society that push whinerism and degeneracy?

Draft all these useless ‘climate marchers’ and use them as targets wherever applicable...

Uphold and defend the Constitution.

Article XIII

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Our 200 years of wars have taken the best and brightest from this country, the warriors, the most physically fit in our society. The disabled and infirm were left home to procreate.

In a nation-threatening war, sure.

Unless there's an acute shortage of men to fill key slots (Navy nuclear reactor specialists,for example) it's hard to see the need for a draft at this time.

You realize that a lot of gangs consider the military as THEIR training grounds, right?

We do not belong to the government. Politicians would be a lot more were less if they new they had constant supply the of fodder no matter how foolish their foreign adventures.
I would guess that you would not be in danger of being kidnapped by the government under a reinstated draft.

No, keep it volunteer. btw it seems when the bring back the draft movement comes up
usually Democrats are the supporters. This despite those like Bill Clinton who “loath”ed the military, as he once said.

Frank Zappa’s I Don’t Wanna Get Drafted (and Drafted Again) came about because of a late Carter adm. push. And in some ways it spoofs how
those unfit to serve would think:


Roller skates and disco is a lot of fun
I’m too young and stupid to operate a gun
Wars are really stupid they’re dirty and they’re cold. I don’t want nobody to shoot me in the fox hole...

Not just no but hell no! We have enough discipline issues with people who want to be there, can’t imagine the increase in problems with people that don’t want to be there.

Punk singer Jello Biafra did some spoken word albums, including a piece called Die For Oil, Sucker. “You..you look like just about the right age...to be DRAFTED! Does that even bother you?”
This despite the fact that there was no draft at the time.

btw I believe there technically is a requirement for young men to register for Selective Service...yes there is no draft, but I think they still have to.(When I was 16 in 1978, I did).Radio public service announcements point out that not registering will make them ineligible for school loans or something. “It’s quick, and easy, and it’s the law.”

Mandatory military service making a man out of you? With transgenders etc there will be a bunch of Klingers out there.
And should women also be drafted?
“What’s your name, soldier?”
“Jennifer.” [Woman, not a transgender]
“We’ll make a man out of you, Jennifer!”

OK maybe I was 18 when I registered with selective service but maybe it was 16 then...
“Virtually all male U.S. citizens, regardless of where they live, and male immigrants, whether documented or undocumented, residing in the United States, who are 18 through 25, are required to register with Selective Service. The law says men must register with Selective Service within 30 days of their 18th birthday.”

Note the bit about immigrants, including undocumented...also it says men only...
