Yep, the community service/draft will be used against us, it will weaken the military by filling it with even more females and neurotics and deviants, while the civilian service alternative will be pure indoctrination of young people.
There will be a push to get every American possible into a government program where education to proper thinking can take place, public schools and universities currently fill that but the preschool schools and the community service/military drafts will capture the ones currently eluding that control.
And that’s when our asses will be handed to us in a real war with a real enemy. We’ve already demonstrated our inability to claim victory over illiterate cavemen. What chance do we have against a near peer?
All the troops and all the equipment in the world isn’t enough without the will to win.
1. Smaller families.
2. Children raised on participation trophies.
3. Widespread — and culturally celebrated — mental pathologies.
4. An absolutely incorrigible population.
It ain’t happening, folks. Who would even want to serve on a draft board or in a position of leadership in an organization whose members include a sizable number of people who have no moral qualms about shooting up a school?
And this will make a comeback....
The American Protective League (1917-1919) was an organization of private citizens sponsored by the United States Department of Justice that worked with Federal law enforcement agencies during the World War I era. Its mission to identify suspected German sympathizers and also to counteract the activities of radicals, anarchists, anti-war activists, and left-wing labor and political organizations. At its zenith, the APL claimed 250,000 members in 600 cities.

I thought the DOD recruiting problem was all of a sudden most of our young white males are fat and lazy? I guess that was a lie.
You and me both.. A smarmy SOB, he is. :(
We need a huge fleet and Marine Corp but we need to make our standing army a tiny kernal to grow if needed. Maybe 3 Divisions of infantry, 1 AB division and 2 divisions of armor. That is all.
Russia and China don’t have to attack the US, we are attacking ourselves. We have become the modern day Roman Empire that is destroying itself from within. The “Late Great United States”.
This truly does describe the United States:
Lament Over Fallen Babylon
18 After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. 2 With a mighty voice he shouted:
“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’[a]
She has become a dwelling for demons
and a haunt for every impure spirit,
a haunt for every unclean bird,
a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.
3 For all the nations have drunk
the maddening wine of her adulteries.
The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,
and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”
Warning to Escape Babylon’s Judgment
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say:
“‘Come out of her, my people,’[b]
so that you will not share in her sins,
so that you will not receive any of her plagues;
5 for her sins are piled up to heaven,
and God has remembered her crimes.
6 Give back to her as she has given;
pay her back double for what she has done.
Pour her a double portion from her own cup.
7 Give her as much torment and grief
as the glory and luxury she gave herself.
In her heart she boasts,
‘I sit enthroned as queen.
I am not a widow;[c]
I will never mourn.’
8 Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her:
death, mourning and famine.
She will be consumed by fire,
for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.
Threefold Woe Over Babylon’s Fall
9 “When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her. 10 Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry:
“‘Woe! Woe to you, great city,
you mighty city of Babylon!
In one hour your doom has come!’
11 “The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes anymore— 12 cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; 13 cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and human beings sold as slaves.
14 “They will say, ‘The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your luxury and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.’ 15 The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn 16 and cry out:
“‘Woe! Woe to you, great city,
dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet,
and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls!
17 In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!’
“Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off. 18 When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, ‘Was there ever a city like this great city?’ 19 They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out:
“‘Woe! Woe to you, great city,
where all who had ships on the sea
became rich through her wealth!
In one hour she has been brought to ruin!’
20 “Rejoice over her, you heavens!
Rejoice, you people of God!
Rejoice, apostles and prophets!
For God has judged her
with the judgment she imposed on you.”
The Finality of Babylon’s Doom
21 Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said:
“With such violence
the great city of Babylon will be thrown down,
never to be found again.
22 The music of harpists and musicians, pipers and trumpeters,
will never be heard in you again.
No worker of any trade
will ever be found in you again.
The sound of a millstone
will never be heard in you again.
23 The light of a lamp
will never shine in you again.
The voice of bridegroom and bride
will never be heard in you again.
Your merchants were the world’s important people.
By your magic spell all the nations were led astray.
24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of God’s holy people,
of all who have been slaughtered on the earth.”
I disagree, if it gets bad enough.
The politicians want it so the voluntary military is dead.
A LOT of your fellow vets including one of my best friends say the same. They tell their kids and everyone else not to join. I think a straight White Male would have to be nuts to join today’s military knowing he will be the #1 target of all the wokesters, will be insulted and denigrated constantly and will be considered to be nothing more than cannon fodder for the Neocon elites in one of their forever wars.
Straight White Males died at twice their percentage of the population in Iraq and the Stan which tells you a lot about who is in the frontline combat units. I think its time they stepped back and let a bunch of the trannies and and other Leftists go do the dying in the next war.
A draft means a tougher boot camp with more rigorous PT. These arn’t volunteers so PT them to death.
That’s just wild speculation without any basis in fact. I don’t know a single person who would ever obey a draft order.
I firmly told the Marine recruiter who called for my son that there was no way my son would serve in this military. And I am a proud veteran.
To allow this crap to go unchallenged is compliance with intent to accept wages & benefits (fraud) to line thier own pockets, either on active duty, or as board members in one of the military industrial complex companies.
I retired from the Navy in 1998 and this stuff was going on 100 miles an hour back then with females. We were preached to, on a regular basis, that we were all equal. I got out in the nick of time, because I couldn’t handle much more of it.
... add that prick Austin to that list ...
I wonder how many phallus’ he serviced to get those stars ...
Davis-Monthan. Damn. My last base. I got out when Clinton was in office. Knew it was going to go down hill with don’t ask don’t tell. Hard to believe it’s been almost 29 years now.
How I wish you were wrong! The last kid I counseled on going into my beloved Air Force JAG Corps is doing OK; however, we have had several conversations about him staying true to what he knows to be true, regardless of the pressure from the woke leadership. it wasn’t until I became a senior leader in JAG, and had occasion to frequent the Pentagon that I realized all the career decisions were made by two people at the very top, accountable to no one, not really even to the promotion boards. The people sitting in those seats changed, but that fact never did.
