CDZ If you want to show Russia (and the rest of the world) we're serious...restart the draft.

[The Sage of Main Street]

As Ukraine is in support of the much greater 'Operation Globo Homo'.

I say we draft all diversity first.

We can call them 'Diversity Force'.

Their patch could be a unicorn with'

Diversitas Super Veritatem

Emblazoned across the bottom.

Traditional military customs and courtesies would be done away.

To be replaced with "Y'aw be coo!" and "Nawm mean?"
"That triggers me", "I don't feel safe", and "Quiero volver a mi país por favor."

"To the Rear, March!"

I think the Latin motto should be Annuit Ano: "God Favors the Butthole."

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

We need to empty all our prisons and air drop the felons into Ukraine. They'll have those Rooskie tanks hot wired and all their supplies looted in no time.

Dindus Taking a Dirt Nap

The Gangstas would all die quickly. The only reason they survive in America is that citizens won't use their Second Amendment rights, which is also a duty. No matter how much they huff and puff about it, they are afraid of being prosecuted for killing off criminals, who are enemies of the human race. Even the police are afraid of doing what it takes. You can be sure that the Russians have no such fears.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Hell, you have a generation coming of draft age that were not allowed outside after dark. I suspect it would be a piss poor draft quality-wise, I'd not want to try to get them trained-up. No safe spaces in boot camp. I really can't see them being "born again hard".

From Ancient Carthage On, Every Civilization That Didn't Draft Got Destroyed

Those are the same people our volunteer "army" is hard up enough to take now.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

And they shaped up look at leave it to beaver as an example

If the Guard and Reserves Aren't for Veterans Only, It's Pure Treason

That privileged sissyboy got into the Reserves, which during the Vietnam War was a hideout for young "men" with connections and not an actual part of our Armed Forces. All the gutless pro athletes got into that scam, too.

 

[Dayton3]

Sounds like you're a wannabe bully. Willingness to force others to bend to your will isn't something to be proud of. It's what thugs do when they can't get their way.

As my mom said

"I'm not a bully but I'll be the bully until the bully gets here".

 

[WinterBorn]

Forget sanctions, forget stationing more U.S. forces overseas, forget putting U.S. nuclear weapons on alert, a step that would really put the Russians and the rest of the world on notice (including both our enemies and our friends) would be restarting conscription in the United States.

Such a move would be extremely serious, expensive, and controversial but not immediately provocative to the Russians or China. If the Biden Admin. proposed it and pushed to get it through Congress despite the mammoth opposition it would announce more than anything else that the U.S. is serious about resisting Russian (and Chinese) foreign adventurism. Not to mention in one fell swoop it would show Americans just how serious the global situation is now. And perhaps get Americans to stop whining about gasoline prices and other economic troubles

There is no need to restart the draft. The Selective Service system has all the names needed. But entering the war would be a mistake.

We might not have a choice.

 

[dblack]

We might not have a choice.

The choice has been made. We've already decided. "A house divided against itself cannot stand."

 

[Colin norris]

Was it wrong to draft people to fight in the American Civil War? World War One? World War Two?

Besides, who says it would ever come to actually fighting in the current situation?

Has the legislation ever been taking out?

 

[Auld Phart]

Yes. This was taken to the Supreme Court in the 1980s and ruled on.

No.

Unless you're only drafting the elites and progressives who want this war with no exemptions for college and such.

I'm pretty sure it is patently illegal to target people like that.

Besides it was when the U.S. had a regular draft like in Vietnam and prior to that in which you actually had the children of the wealthy and elites actually having to serve in the military in great numbers.

 

[Sunsettommy]

America already has the world's THIRD largest manpower in uniform China and India are bigger and they have far more population to draw from.

Conscription isn't necessary.

They targeted the poor and middle class by giving the elites college exemptions and other things during the last draft.

Did Russia Interfere in Our Civil War?

That's exactly what Putin thinks—re-instating the Russian Empire that has lasted for most of 300 years.

Making Every Dynasty Die Nasty

You mean the epitaph on our Ukraine War Memorial won't be PROUD TO DIE TAKING A RICHKID'S PLACE? But you can rest assured that will be the inscription on the Ukrainians' own war memorial.

 

[Sunsettommy]

doesn't that depend on the war

Yes, but since we are not in war we don't need the draft.

 

[Dayton3]

Yes, but since we are not in war we don't need the draft.

And when we do get in a war you think our opponents will give us 6 months to draft, train, and equip the military we need?

Doesn't work that way.
