itshyolee Posted June 15 Posted June 15 Half of ATRL users will be gone I hope the male Swifties get drafted first (no shade) 1
wastedpotential Posted June 15 Posted June 15 I mean it's been legally mandated for males for a long time, you just had to register yourself and the only checkpoint as to whether you did that or not was the FAFSA. All it seems that they're doing is making the registration automatic and extending the age limit another year. Now, the concept of conscription in and of itself is rather archaic (credible arguments have been made that organized society really only began out of a need to raise armies to fight off bandits), and any implementation of a draft would be wildly unpopular and no politician with an interest in re-election would advocate for the draft unless the Canadians decided they wanted a chunk of Maine or something.

You're forgetting that both sides would have an interest in reinstating the draft to defend Israel against Hezbollah and Iran, which would quite possibly the reason for them expanding the draft like this to begin with. As far as American politicians are concerned, Israel is more important than our own country.

You either had to join the military or do a social year, which means helping old people or whatever. I'm so glad they got rid of it before it was my turn. I'm not working for free for my country. I'm not a patriot, leave me alone. Exactly. They want this religious racist homophobic shithole defended? Girl throw me in the slammer or the gay camp because I'm not doing a god damn thing for them. Zero zilch. Put me in the euthanizing line. Do what you gotta do boo cause I ain't going. edit: I'm the the USA. Edited June 15 by woohoo 3

loveisdead9582 Posted June 15 Posted June 15 … I thought we already did when we applied for financial aid or something. I might be wrong of course but pretty sure it's always been an option.
LegaMyth Posted June 15 Posted June 15 Man, it feels like something is coming. Especially when all of these countries are not joining BRICS. The Ghetto is near.

Given the way some megachurch preachers in Alabama and Texas talk about Israel to their congregations of thousands of people, I'm sure the army won't have any issue recruiting the soldiers it needs to fight in Israel

There's a reason Russia is throwing away hundreds of thousands of conscripted soldiers from Siberia and Chechnya rather than the White Russians from Moscow and St. Petersburg. It's to weed out the undesirables on the front lines when conflicts are otherwise conducted through drone warfare nowadays.
