Funnily enough - as a transgender man, I am signed up for the Selective Service (they make you do it for FAFSA - get flagged if you put down male anywhere.) I’ve heard that I was supposed to get some sort of letter disqualifying me, but I just got the regular card. Guess I could be marching next to y’all in WW3.

We haven’t had enough enlistment to fill our military needs in decades. We have as many hired contractors as enlisted. The contractors are majority non US citizens.

We’ve been avoiding a draft because it would cause major resistance to our unnecessary military activities that can currently be pushed to the back of most people’s minds.

Operational contractors continue to play a vital role in CENTCOM, holding a 2.8 to 1 ratio of contractors to military (up from 1.7 to 1 last year) as military forces exit Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan while contractors stay behind.

The US military is not draft friendly. Far too much of our doctrine is built around "skilled" combat (e.g. maneuver warfare) and our superiority comes from technology which has a high cost per soldier (the NVGs that Scumbag Steve lost cost more than it would to rush him through boot camp...) and requires maintenance. And, if we move forward with the XM7, that means fewer bullets per soldier which means a greater need to actually aim (and be indoctrinated so that they will aim at the brown person rather than fire over their heads).

Obviously we can do a massive doctrine change. But "senior military" will gladly support efforts that remove competition so that they can get promoted into a woman's place. They won't support efforts that will make them look incompetent when (and it is "when"...) we actually use the military... or that will impact all those "totally friendly" gifts and vacations they get from the companies building this gear.

In the event of a land war against Canada? All bets are off and you can be damned sure there will be "patriotic" efforts for "new recruits" to buy their own AR-15s from Walmart before reporting to the trenches. But that will happen regardless of whether the pesky women and gays and brown people have been cleansed from the military first.

Everyone (rightfully) shat on how ill equipped the russian military was outside of their "elites". And... there is a reason for that. You don't give someone off the street optics that cost a down payment or two on their pickup truck. Partially because they will lose (or sell) it. Mostly because they won't know how to use it. WW2/Vietnam era boot camp was basically "This is a gun. Point this end at the . Pull the trigger a few times to keep their heads down while someone competent does the rest".

Maybe, I've seen a lot of recent increases in advertisements to join the military. If that crap starts up, that'll be what gets me to leave the country. There isnt a thing in the world that could get me to fight for these dipshits kn their misguided wars.

When there is a war, HitlerPig will definitely have a draft, if for no other reason that he will think its amusing to watch people get pissed off about it. At his core, he is a Troll.

Nothing is more evil than a draft, when the government literally enslaves young men to be forced to kill or be kill.

And it will be young men, these Neanderthals will want the young girls to stay behind so the Sociopathic Oligarchs have the pick of the tenderonis without the competiton of young men. Skum has all the money in the world, and he still can't find a loving partner, even if he wants to buy one. The only way hes been able to have DNA Storage Units/ Human Shields, is by renting wombs. Maybe if we kill off all the young men under 30 years old, he can find a desperate young woman to be his concubine.

I will state this unequivocally: My son will NEVER take part in any MAGA war. At least, not on their side.

And if HitlerPig decides to skip the concept of a draft system, and resorts to the Russian style of draft, and have press gangs driving around in trucks, literally snatching men off the streets, and they get my son (or they ship him off to the new Guantanamo Concentration Camp), I will have nothing left to lose, and I will become a VERY dangerous man indeed.

Likely they want to use the draft to "break men in".

A lot of them are in because it can offer an escape from poverty, and training involves hammering home that they have to just follow orders. They're going to go along like everyone else because defying orders is a big personal risk for people who are not in a position to just lose everything.

It's the fall of the empire, America never had a golden era of the Republic.
