      No, it’s about sending a message that immoral conscription has consequences. If it means sacrificing your own life to send that message, so be it.

        “I became a terrorist and murdered an innocent person because I didn’t agree with someone else’s decision.”

        The draft will never occur in the U.S. because we already have way to many people in the military. They don’t need to have a draft.

        Now if we made education and healthcare accessible to everyone like we should, we might not have as many people volunteering to go.

        Our military would grow to like 10x the current size if we had forced conscription like Israel or Korea.

        We couldn’t afford it.

            So let me ask, do you think it would be proper to report this as a terrorist site. Choosing to murder a random person who has no choice to the military?

                “immoral conscription” was the comment I replied to? Do you not know what those words mean? That’s called a draft in the country we are talking about.

          We have an effective volunteer military, for now.

          When civil unrest reaches critical mass the elites stop thinking about the military as a tool to force other countries to do what they want and start thinking about it as a tool to force the rabble to stay in line. This is the primary purpose of most militaries in the world.

          The failure of the war in Iran brings us closer to that point.

            The number of “frags” near “U.S. commanders” is near 0. People like Pete Hegseth are stupid, but even they aren’t stupid enough to choose to go into an active warzone

          Remember when everyone said Trump couldn’t win the election*? And since when has not having the money for war stopped the US from going to war? They just borrow against their kids.

          Although I will point out that Trump and Elon bragged about rigging the election, that’s besides the point.

              If you think “it can’t happen here”, with regards to a draft, you’re an idiot who has their head in the sand. Too many “it can’t happen here” things have been happening.

                It would bankrupt the country to add people we don’t need… It would be like a sports team paying to have 10x the players and not be able to put any of them on the field.

                Creating a draft would drive voters to increase the pay and benefits of soldiers as well.

                So yes it could happen. But it is a near 0% chance of happening.

      Might wanna look up the origin of fragging, why it was A Thing and how the circumstances not only destroyed the draft, but the US presence in vietnam
