We Need a Limited Military Draft
Military.com ^ | 7/29/23 | Joe Plenzer

It's time to change how our country fills the ranks of our military.

Since 1775, our nation has used a combination of volunteers and draftees to meet our national defense personnel needs, especially in times of crisis.

Today, the military needs only about 160,000 youth from an eligible population of 30 million to meet its recruitment needs. But after two decades of war -- both of which ended unsuccessfully -- and low unemployment, many experts believe the all-volunteer force has reached a breaking point. And American confidence in its military is at a low.

All it takes is a simple majority vote from our warmongering Congress.

From Selective Service

“Overview of What Would Occur if the United States Returned to a Draft:

1. Draft Authorization: Congress and the President

A national emergency, exceeding the Department of Defense’s capability to recruit and retain its total force strength, requires Congress to amend the Military Selective Service Act to authorize the President to induct personnel into the Armed Forces.”

Leftist democrats want to murder your children in needless wars but not theirs, of course.

The military finds that the woke bs they push nowadays is not popular, so bring back the draft.

Lovely.

“American confidence in its military is at a low...”

So this genius’ idea is admit failure, but refuse to address any causes, and skip right to “attack the problem with brute force”.

No, we don't.

Not under the current administration.

They will send your sons and (daughters!), unprepared and unequipped physically, mentally, and in every other way, to be killed for Biden's corruption.

After all, the rat party has their share of draft dodgers, like slick Willy and Brandon.

A draft is the last thing this country needs.

The first thing it needs is to get rid of the democRATS that stole the election and get our military back to its intended purpose. And that purpose doesn’t include embracing trannies and faggotry.

Sorry if I sound harsh, but who, in their right mind, would join Biden’s woke military?

I guess if you can’t get people to WANT to join a woke military which, apparently, has been assigned to fight Russia and China (possibly at the same time), the next best thing is to ROUND UP cannon fodder on American streets (similar to what Ukraine is doing).

I imagine now they will demand women and minorities take priority. No white males need apply. All the other govt jobs are like this. I expect some consistency.
