Rob Schneider, who has never served in the military and is now too old to do so, took to social media on Friday to call for the United States to “restore the military draft for our nation’s young people” amid the ongoing war with Iran that was started by President Trump and Israel.
“We must once again recommit ourselves to one Nation under God, indivisible. Therefore, we must restore the military draft for our Nation’s young people,” Schneider said. “Each and every American, at eighteen years of age, must serve two years of military service.”
The Sopranos star Michael Imperioli absolutely cooked Rob Schneider’s ‘comedy’ over his calls to reinstate a military draft
While Schneider’s take was swiftly and widely lambasted on social media, perhaps the most cutting response came from Michael Imperioli, who suggested Iran would surrender if they had to listen to Schneider’s “comedy.”
“I’ve got a better idea. Let’s just send Rob to Iran to perform his comedy. They will surrender immediately and unconditionally,” the fame Christopher Moltisanti actor shared on Instagram.
Imperioli’s shot at Schneider is reminiscent of when the late, great Norm Macdonald absolutely cooked him while appearing on Conan.
The conflict between the U.S. and Iran began at the end of February, with military strikes coordinated by the Trump administration and Israel targeting Iranian military infrastructure, nuclear facilities, and leadership.
Despite recent suggestions, however, the Trump administration says they have no plans to reinstate a military draft at this time. Given the admin’s penchant for deception, though, the anxiety about the return of the draft continues to permeate.

A draft means we need men, not more girls.
Nothing going on...
The United States Coast Guard has patrolled coastal and inland waterways continuously, for defense, policing, and rescue.
We've had active overflight surveillance missions since WW2.
We have an active military engagement between South and North Korea since the 1950s.
We've had nuclear missile silos staffed and at the ready since the beginning of the Cold War.
Rob Schneider was born in 1963. Lebanon was 1982-83. Grenada was 1983. Honduras was 1983-1989.
That's misogynistic. They don't need no man. They're boss babes and slay kweens.
I support the draft. Anyone who posts on the web in favor of a war is immediately drafted despite age, sex or any other consideration. Bring it on. It’d be fun to see the zeepers with M4s and carrying frags. Linda Graham could be Brigade Commander.
You seem to want the military to be more female.

Who is the idiot that wrote this?
The 1980s was a very high speed time for American military service and mercenary work, it took some will power, or something, for someone to resist the urge to serve during those years.
It's trying to say that Rob Schneider is living off of Sandler. They are friends and the two are a mutual admiration society together. Adam Sandler has done bit parts on Rob Schneider's movies.
Seem to?
It should be 50/50. Equality and all that.
If they can vote to send men to war, or hold public office to send me to war, they can go themselves. They're boss babes who don't need no man.

That is incredibly stupid and you seem totally ignorant of the reasons for why they harm military readiness and capabilities.

You are quite childlike.
When did you serve?
Same for me.
Exactly.
Yep.
