I once read that only about 6% of the US took up arms in our Revolutionary War. John Adams later wrote that about a third supported the war, about a third were loyalists to England, and about a third were non-supportive of either side. So that figure is not bad at all.

So far it's 25% in Alberta. With Carney becoming the PM, the number is only going to increase in the next 5 years.

There is no chance that the Canadian economy will improve.

Only about 25% of military age men in the US were in the military during World War 2 and of that 25% almost two thirds were drafted, they did not volunteer.

There has been no war in US history where the majority of military age men willingly volunteered to join the military. Even in the early days, more men were willing to pay fines than to serve in their local militias. The idea that we as Americans are “all in” when thing go bad, is a total myth. Sad but true.

We did get great enlistments during the Vietnam War though.

Knowing that, Germany might decide to try again.

Of course not, why fight for a country that doesn’t belong to you?

Considering how they have, over decades, surrendered it to the commie trash — why would I suspect anything else?

The question no one dares to ask is “Would you fight the illegal invaders and your own government in order to get your country back?” Hell, you’d probably go to prison for asking it.

Not surprising. In many countries.

There were multiple people that posted that they would not fight if Biden was in charge.

Probably similar percentages under President Trump.

Have predicted before that there would be massive (30-50% non-compliance) if a draft was ever reinstituted in the US, regardless of who is President.

>>>Then they better go prayer rug shopping.....’cause that’s where it’s going......and sooner rather than later.

Exactly, assimilation not to a Great Nation but to an ideology.

It doesn’t help that both Biden and Trump both used lame medical excuses to avoid being called up in a draft.

In the UK, they expect Americans to do their fighting for them.

Why should they? Their current government made them second class citizens in their own country. This is not hyperbole, it is reality.

A new treaty just signed with India gives all Indians a boost in any hiring for jobs as they don’t have to pay for health care but can still get it for free in Britain. This means that all Indians will cost employers 20% less to hire.

Why would they fight for a country that hates them?

"Nearly half"?

That's the lie. They know it's far more than half who would refuse to risk death for gelded princes, whores, and bankers.
