oh shit we’re going to get drafted aren’t we
I’m not. Have fun over there.
A draft would be a civil war, especially if they set it at 42.
Nobody would fucking go, and we’d see ICE agents used to round up anyone “military aged” starting in poverty striken neighborhoods and eventually expanding.
trump’s dumb enough to try it tho, so we’re probably gonna find out.
ICE agents kidnapping and killing people hasn’t started a civil war.
I highly doubt that a draft would trigger that.
I suspect things would get interesting when you piss a shit ton of people off and then give them automatic weapons and explosives… Where do you think “fragging” came from?
You know that at very least Hegseth has been walking around with a half chub at the thought of reinstating the draft. We’re talking about invading multiple countries at any given time. All of the strong man dictators that Trump admires are in countries with compulsory military service.Then there’s the timing of the announcement that Barron is ineligible to serve because he’s too tall or some shit, the press secretary refusing to rule out a draft, and now this. I think they are seriously contemplating the possibility of a mandatory draft in the future.
I had to look that up. Apparently the limit is 6’8", and they claim he’s 6’9". Now, the kid is clearly a tall motherfucker, but how much y’all wanna bet he actually tops out at 6’7"? (6’9" is 205.74cm)
He might be five inches taller than trump really is, but that would put him at 6’4"ish.
Not the unbelievable 6’7" that’s 5 inches taller than trump’s fake height.
There’s a very real chance trump doesn’t know he lies about his own height so in his orbit everyone adjust so his 6’2" height can be rationalized. It explains why he can’t believe celebrities/athletes whose real (or close) height is well known.
They dont play trumps adjustment game, so in his head it doesn’t make sense they’re so much bigger.
When I played sports in college did the opposite when out at bars. Every guy shaved 4-5 inches off our height because we were tall enough someone would ask. And any guy not in on the joke would lose their shit because it looked like they were lying.
This is a fucking hilarious joke to play on friends I’ve never heard of that before.
The joke wasn’t on our friends, it was on any dude that followed a girl over when she’d ask how tall any of us were. Which happened at least once a night at bars when we’d go out as a team.
We all knew to give the “short height” and when she didn’t believe the first one, shed start asking everyone, getting heights that logically lined up until she’d ask anyone we didn’t know, who would tell her the real height, which sounded like an obvious lie.
It was very chaotic, but especially for college age guys (at least back then) it really really fucked with people. If someone hears a group of guys is lying about their heights, they come over expecting a bunch of people adding a couple inches and eager to prove them wrong.
But it was just some casual gaslighting for funsies.
Huh, so their logic is draft me, give me a gun, teach me to shoot, and throw a military parade birthday party.
This is going to be one for the books.
Their logic is to draft you, put you in high vis hand-me -downs that have had their previous holes patched up, and put you on the front lines with rocks until his problem solves itself.
Not if everyone first joins ICE if that were to happen!
They will give you some free shit and people will flock like sheep. Or they will just snatch you off the street and instead of aligator Alcatraz it will be boot camp
Giving the majority of people that hate your guts free guns and military training is a great idea!
Lol the draft isn’t going to start a civil war
I think I’ll go fight for the Canadians in the coming war.
I’m beginning to worry this is what the camps will be used for, to prevent the majority of Americans that hate everything that’s happening from mass fragging and defecting
if canada would cut off the oil to the USA, the usa would definitely freak out.
We’ll give you hot cocoa.
I didn’t expect this. Is this a trick?
You had me at “we”.
… and the maple syrup strategic reserve
They can draft this turd out of my ass.
Currently, it’s still voluntary, thankfully.
But, I wouldn’t be sure considering who we’re dealing with.
Voluntary but you cant say no.
Because of the implication.
Voluntold.
It’s okay, just made a not so subtle reference to fragging. You might be locked up but you won’t be murdering some innocent child who was born the wrong color!
That’s my plan at least. Lol but the exasperated kind of lol not like a haha yknow
Could always go with the classic:

If three of us go in, it would be a movement.
No, it will always be a “push”

Dude YES I listen to this every single Thanksgiving and its the first thing that came to my mind when they mentioned a draft.
“I… I wanna KILL”
T-Squared’s Halo tips that will have you fragging like a pro.
I think you just have to grow a beard and Hegseth will be so offended/jealous he’ll discharge you
Ugh fuck I knew the goatee wouldn’t last
The issue with assuming you can use fragging as an option is how it assumes you’ll be near anyone that deserves a fragging. You’ll likely be grouped with other drafties.
There was a Vietnam era strategy where enlisting decreased one’s chances of being sent to Vietnam.
Whoever is telling me go there, do that. I’m not looking for the General Supreme himself. Fight war not wars you feel me? That hydra may have so many heads you can’t count em but I will be goddamned if I won’t swing that sword when it’s handed it to me :)
Sure. You just may find yourself surrounded by only those who were drafted, aka your fellow cannon fodder.
You’ll never meet any of the people responsible for you being there. I

Million dollar equipment has no soul
Isn’t the “no soul” what they pay the million dollars for?
I’m all for the draft on one very strict condition; it has to be truly random with no way for rich kids to get mommy and daddy to buy them out of it or into a cushy assignment. When the rich kids have an equal chance of dying in oil wars, there won’t be so many oil wars.
Are you sure? Considering anthropogenic climate change cascades, I highly doubt the rich care about their kids.
That’s a fair point, but I would argue that that’s far enough in the future for them to convince themselves it’s not real. Dear little Chet getting shot in the face by Muslims next week is probably harder to ignore.
That’s a terrible solution to the current problem.
I wasn’t really offering it as a solution to the current problem. I’m just saying that I don’t believe the current problem would exist if, for the past 10 years or more, rich kids were candidate fodder for the meat grinder.
How do you feel about women being required to sign up for selective service?
As a woman, I think if men have to, we should have to as well. That said, I also don’t think men should have to in the first place. If you can’t generate enough popular support for your war to get people to volunteer, then your war can get fucked.
Yeah the draft is bullshit and shouldsnot exist.
it still wont be random, because will just target areas that dont have rich people, like only black or latin neighborhoods, and not rich ones.
MP’s looking to enforce a draft will need to wear flak vests. The whole thing, including the bits and bobs that infantrymen typically throw away to save weight.
Wonder if they will draft trans women and force detrans them.
