“The think tank also suggested that any significant draft could only succeed if the public knew they could face real punishment if they refused to comply.”
Real punishment is a two way street. Not giving my kids to the perverted woke Officers of the military to conduct unneeded wars for power games and profit of their rich friends.
There will be real consequences for attempting to make my family die for globohomo.
They act like severe punishment (which they don’t dare specifically mention how many years or type) wouldn’t lead to unintended consequences.
If someone was facing 20 years to life (or to take it to the extreme... a capital offense) for draft evading... some may conclude they may as well go out with a bang.
Instead of evading draft agents, those agents might be targeted themselves.
Government NEEDS a compliant public, unfortunately current leaders think that force is the way to go. It will lead to the public seeing a government at home as a worse enemy than an enemy abroad.
These evil idiots are going to cause uncontrollable chaos to erupt from a citizenry that just wants to be left alone.
