Our enemies are here. They're biding their time. They will catch our military flat footed long before the draft is instituted.

When war breaks out and body-bags start coming home by the truckload, the deep state will be smart enough to suppress the tranny officers and homo-promotion propaganda

But it still won’t be a reason to join

Not surprising. With a shrinking volunteer armed forces the US has no strategic reserves of trained soldiers. Like the professional British Army at the start of WWI, a few months of peer conflict would leave us with no armed forces left.

It is immoral to force men to die in offensive foreign wars that they do not believe in.

Read the start to the Heinlein novel “The Glory Road” to see how prescient he was.

The NEA and AFT have been drumming socialism and anti-Americanism into America’s youth for two generations or more while negligent parents have been using them as a babysitting service while they focus on their careers.

Now, they don’t want to enlist? DUH!!!!

Pretty disgusting idea but today’s youth don’t associate the issue with one party.

Ronald Reagan took the easy way and said “pay them more”. His approach may have been proper as it ‘allowed’ the worried young men to think it through for themselves. The rats are the ones to bring it up-let them. When the right November comes along just charge the Democrats want to bring back the draft. Puts them on defense. Make them wordsmith their way out of it. Throw in women being subject to it.

Our ‘leaders’ are just not smart enough.

Solid liberals? Do you mean traditional liberals? Because there are very few of those to be found. And radical liberals, the most numerous of the group, are all Nazis; they’ll love them idea of forcing people to join the recently corrupted armed services. (As long as there’s an “out” for me, but not for thee).

Thank you for referencing that article Roman_War_Criminal.

"The US Military Is Laying the Groundwork to Reinstitute the Draft"


Today's post-17th Amendment ratification career lawmakers are the ones that have the constitutional power to authorize organizing the army.

"Article I, Section 8, Clause 16: To provide for organizing , arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States [emphases added], reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;"

So if patriots don't like the way that your federal lawmakers answer your questions about a possible draft at town hall meetings, then primary them in 2024.

On second though, primary all your incumbent state and federal lawmakers anyway, replacing them with pro-Trump agenda lawmakers.

Klinger at least did his job with confidence and correctly. The current crop of tranny’s are too busy deciding each morning if they are a man, women or a petrified cat turd.

I served in the early days of the AVF, 76-84. It was a struggle, but I saw great improvement during those years. It would be a horrible idea to bring back the draft. It would not “democratize” the military. The rich and elites have been dodging and buying their way out of the military since the War of Northern Aggression.

I agree with you, but they created the conditions to argue the draft is necessary because they can’t meet their manpower. It was done with a purpose to make it disreputable to serve, so they could say that they need a draft.

I think they want to open the Ukraine war moreso.

there will be no draft. This is a psyops to allow the military to hire a bunch of “mercenary foreigners” who will have no compunction about turning on patriots when the Big guy gives the go signal as the world burns down all around
