A problem easily solved.

Bring back the draft, and make sure that both men and women are included.

Enlarge the stockade along with it.

You’re thinking rationally. The military is being lost to leftist loons. PC matters more than competence.

Just think of leftism as a religion. It is above everything to these looks. Reality or experience mean nothing to them if it contradicts their doctrine. They never learn. They just move on to destroy the next city, state, or country.

Why? So our white racist daughters can die forcing Transgenderism and LGBTQI rights to other countries? Have you ever actually served?

Agree, and mandatory National Service at High School Graduation BEFORE COLLEGE.

I was immediately aware of the traditional descriptive for youth of this demeanor:

Cannon Fodder.

Ooh, yeah, SLAVE ARMIES! Just what politicians love to play with.

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

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.

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.

Service means citizenship. I like it.
