The programming of these children all goes out the door the first time they're assaulted by some criminal or they witness Democrat riots burning down cities.

They then realize they've been lied to and that they're already at Killhouse Rule #2. (1-Nobody is coming to save you. 2-Everything is your responsibility.)

They then go to the other side of the Internet and find out just how badly they've been lied to by dictators, sociopaths, deviants, perverts, thieves, grifters, and other assorted losers.

Draft them into a woke military? Not really a solution aimed at the problem.

They are not cannon fodder unless you have a lefty Marxist idiot commanding them.

Whoops!

And you're wrong anyway.

Its the only way we will break the brainwashing of the school system and colleges.

And We have enough good men to treat our soldiers as patriots.

Oh ye of little faith! LOL.

1. Tell the kid hes free to leave the country at any time, we don’t force anyone to live here like overt socialist countries do. Dont expect the country to change for his views, adults understand the real world does not work this way.

2. I’m not either, i wish we never imported african slaves here in the first place. We’d never had had the civil war and wouldnt have had over 600,000 white men die fighting each other.

3. Yet you are for gay pride. You say they didnt choose to be born gay, yet you throw parades and demand gay pride months. You are for celebrating feminist pride, yet they didnt choose to be born female. You are for black pride and evedy kind of minority pride, but every one of them had no choice what they were born, white, black, asian, etc. But somehow being proud of your country, with both its wonderful achievements by individuals, as well as its noted and unhid flaws, that you cant feel proud about. Got it.

It was about 20 years ago when the college aged crowd started using words like hegemony, patriarchy and any critique of their beliefs was a sign of mental illness!

“I just don’t want to live in a country with a health care system like this one.”

There’s an easy fix for that, Bucko!

So many big, modern words.

The second I read “post-’your choice of noun’” I turn off.

Because abrogating every natural right a person has will make them patriotic supporters of their country?

No, a draft is morally wretched and guarantee its one of the most likely ways to make a lot of conservatives and right leaning moderates move the other way.

Reinstating the draft would be an epic mistake. If the ranks include those identified by the author as hating America, then it will cause inevitable tension with those who view service to our country as an honor and an obligation of citizenship. Imagine our young men and women having to rely upon those who not only do not want to wear the uniform of our country but hate what it represents. In the event of hostilities, will those forced to serve decide there is little reason to fight or to die for their fellow soldiers let alone their country? Perhaps we already are headed in this direction, given the “wokeness” emanating from the Pentagon, but a reinstated draft will only accelerate the process.

The middle class is being deliberately decimated by the DemonRat Party with help from the global elites.

Won't be long now.

You’re not going to like what comes after America.

Sure. Mandatory military service can foster patriotism. It did so in Germany, Japan, Russia, and China. But not always in a good way.

In today’s modern woke military, the draft would only make things worse.

And I disagree in principle with forcing women into any fighting roles.

May be a better solution would be a draft for political service in which random citizens are selected to hold public office for a period of time. I can’t imagine a randomly selected citizen doing a worse job than our current president or speaker of the house.
