“Don’t worry. When Democrats eventually pass free healthcare and free tuition, they will have to re-institute the draft, as that was a major incentive for enlisting.”

And once you leave the service they’ll screw you by taking away your rights to health care you were promised at the Veterans administration hospitals.

Even the Combat wounded vets don’t get the help they deserve.The Politicians get their first national health care card and they get one hundred percent coverage.No arguments there and they get to jump the line to see a doctor at the hospital.

I have seen that happen.

This was my first thought as well. Or more specifically, what would happen if somebody took a petition around SJWs, in particularly BLM and Antifa, calling for the repeal of the 13th Amendment, (ironically) “to end the capitalistic exploitation” of people of color.

Among the other benefits of abolishing the 13th Amendment:

free food and housing
full employment
etc.

It’s slavery. And no way in hell I’d turn over a kid to this fascist government for them to assign them to work in some ghetto or inner city hospital. Screw that.

No involuntary servitude means exactly what it said.

“Kids who have never (or rarely) set foot in big cities would benefit from being assigned to jobs in the inner city.“

Eff that. I’m not sending my daughter to her gang raped in Baltimore or murdered in south Chicago.

Children from families in Red States will be brainwashed in Biden Youth. They’ll turn us in to FBI and we will be reeducated to believe in Climate Change, Diversity and 100 genders.

You might call them the Young Pioneers, maybe get them to spy on their parents and report any suspicious activity such as free thought or speech. A police state is a safe state, citizen.

My dear departed wife got me a life subscription because decades ago I truly enjoyed that magazine. Now all the services magazines are woke trash.

Mostly fantasy. The Job Corp model for whites from Trump areas then use to clean excrement in SF or NYC or taking.care of ‘AIDs infected queers. For the wokis a Peace Corp like vacation. For BLM and ANTIFA a national police to intimidate the Trump base areas.

This will never happen. Nor should it.

After the coming war, there will be plenty of community service jobs picking up the bricks in the streets.

Sounds like the Soviet Union. RATs always couch their evildoing as being a good thing, A uniting thing.

Bastards just want cheap unpaid forced labor. Never ever trust these people.
