As a soldier, don’t we reserve the right to ignore orders that are unconstitutional?
Donald Trump and his war and all his followers can literally go fuck right on off with that bullshit. You can send all the republicans who voted for this shit including the republican senators. If 42 is cool, why not even older. Shit, they’ve lived their lives. Take one for the team guys
I’m feeling goarmy
You could get a waver to join at that age. I do think the US Military is a great option for people but it can be hard on a family though. It’s one of the reasons most of my friends did not renew. At 42 your probably have kids and probably have your life mostly fleshed out. The military was great for a lot of my friends and the benefits are good.
This admin I don’t trust why they are moving the goal post
Imagine being fucking 42 and still willing to kill/die for this shithole country. wew.
Idk, I think there’s a real demographic of Divorced Dads who could qualify.
*massacres entire village*
“fuck you, stacy!”
35 is also pushing it
The Epstein class has to cull the proletariat somehow.
If they start the draft, many of us will just have to become trans, get bone spurs, or have low T.
They won’t refuse trans soldiers. They will just ban any action or expression which conforms to a gender identity not consistent with sex at birth, and selectively hand out corporal punishment for perceived infractions.
Low T won’t save you as Hegseth wants to inject soldiers with T. Being trans also won’t save you as they will happily change their tune on the trans military ban during a draft as an excuse to throw trans women into the meat grinder.
I can’t wait for the lawsuits around legally compelled detransititions for military draft or any government positions.
Make it a donut hole. Not eliglbe between the ages of 36 and 66 ^1/2. Drone technology can easily be applied to rollators and walkers.
I’m pretty sure that what you’re suggesting is very nearly the plot of John Scalzi’s “Old Man’s War”
Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia
We’re at war with Westasia too though.
And here I was expecting that AI will allow people to be more productive and retire early. Man, I was so naive.
No AI gets to make art and design systems which will leave us free to do the back breaking manual labor.
AI does not make art. It makes soulless, meaningless slop.
But at least it’s enabling child predators! Wait. Oh, no. Is AI actually a bad thing!?
I still have high hopes it’ll help the environment, at least?
Was? You think that AI is done causing problems? There are whole new classes of unknown problems waiting for us in the future…
“Was” doesn’t imply they think we’ve hit rock-bottom.
They were naive to think “AI” would improve things, but now they are appropriately pessimistic going forward.
recruit me at 39 and I hurt my back on day 1 tying my boots
So you’re saying I still might have a chance to frag a commander, after all?
Oh no my bone spurs are acting up again
Of course never would i EVER frag a commandant of the New Reich in his own tent with his own ordinance, trust me bro! Why would I, a humble conscript, ever lash out at the fascist regime that’s rounding up so many of my loved ones for summary extermination? Golly that would be awfully mean of me, just too cruel of me by far, to return even the tiniest, barest fraction of the gut wrenching agonizing tragedy they inflicted on us all BACK to them. Goodness forbid.
