A lot of people, especially on the Left says that America will see a military draft. Look at this Twitter thread I saw tonight....a lot of millennials don't even have respect for those who are going to deal with this Iranian crisis....they are belittling their service saying that "they signed up for it, etc."

“Unfortunately, China would kick the crap out of us in a war.
For Russia, I dont think they have any desire or ability to get in a war with the U.S.”
You think China has the “desire or ability to war against US? Remember, China loans us the money for a lot of our federal spending, and China sells us most of what we buy at discount stores. That doesn’t seem like a country wanting to go to war with us.
I’m saying that the Twitter post I linked shows American apathy.
There will be no draft.
Young people today could not pass the intelligence or sanity tests to go beyond dog walker.
We don’t need the morons
The idea of universal peace time draft is to have a population of trained soldiers just in case.
If you were in 1941 and faced a draft, would you go?
I regret supporting that war. The Iraqi government has taken to Iran like a cat to catnip. That’ll teach us to have shiites leading the nation-building.
(Enjoy your mullahs.)
This isn’t 1941.
Do you support reintroducing the draft in 2020?
Not necessarily. Red China just needs to make enough money off of us to fund a war against us.
I do not.
Would you have gone in 1941?
“Would you have gone in 1941?”
Would you have gone in 1863, when Lincoln introduced the draft?
“Would you have gone in 1941?”
Would you have gone in 1966, at LBJ’s orders?
Yes I would have.
Would you have gone in 1941?
one possible reason is natural selection....somehow being Alan alda got to be cool and being John Wayne got to be antiquated....
girls picking wimpy but nice boys.....boys acting all wimpy and nice....
so she gets Ken and he gets Barbie...end up with PRETTY children skinny and weak and shallow and petty.....
give me the farm girls and boys any day of the week..
sadly, normal looking girls or even girls a tad big or heavy aren't picked for breeding purposes....the skinny weak girls with silicon boobs are and thats the kind of children they'll produce....
“Red China just needs to make enough money off of us to fund a war against us.”
OK, so they’re alright with us not paying back their trillions of dollars of loans? That’s not “making money off of us” — that would amount to giving us a multi-trillion-dollar gift.
You are not an asset to be relied on in any state of the nation.
I dont know but my father signed up and my grandfather fought in ww1, great grand pappy signed up with Lincoln. Frankly, I would sign up today for our Country today if needed. I can walk the mine fields. Good with a metal detector and if you lose me it’s okay. I’m not a great shot.
“Would you have gone in 1941?”
I’m sorry, this is a totally irrelevant question, and the answer is obvious in any case. We are not in 1941 or any situation comparable, so asking me about 1941 is as relevant as asking about King Philip’s War in the American colonies or which side I would have stood at during the English Civil War of the 1640s.
Incorrect observation.
