Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

He’s ineligible on the grounds of height.
Ill make an exception for him
The corpsman on my sub, who had been in for 15 years and done two tours in the sandbox during our first go-round in the 90s, was 6'7".
If he can get a waiver to patch bullet wounds in the desert and then cram his Jolly Green Giant ass into a submarine, then Orange Lite can certainly join up.
Limit is 6'8"
Baron is supposedly 6'9", which is really convenient.
About that; dad musta been a tall pool boy.
Probably a basketball player
You only get to say that until you've seen how many times he's clipped his head on a doorframe.
I'm sure that family could find a way to get him onto the front lines. They've broken so many rules before, what's one more?
Chop his legs off.
I was thinking lowes has plenty of tools that would shorten him up real quick.
Rules don’t exist for the rich in America.
Trump's grandfather left Germany to escape the draft. Fred Trump got WW2 deferments and Donnie's 'bone spurs' are, of course, the stuff of legends.
Barron has a legitimate deferment, so unless Tiffany joins, the family will be five generations without service.
And good for them.
Why 'good for them?'
They were all happy to let other folks go and get killed.
Everyone should avoid war.
So, people in Gaza shouldn't fight back?
