So as the war in Europe escalates and more drone attacks happen in Russia, the intelligentsia in the US are ratcheting up calls for renewed draft. HMMMM

We are no involved on the ground. We don't plan to be. Why on earth would the draft be an issue?

Pool is misinformed. No reservists have been called up for deployment to Europe that weren't already in queue for normal rotations.

The elites and the deep state know what they're doing. Then you have the good little Slava Fanbois that just lap it all up from their desktops.

Shocker, I went onto the internet today and came away angry and scared...

Get a grip. Large groups of soldiers thrown at each other is something of a bygone era. If war really comes between super power countries, it will be all drones, AI, air power and nukes. On the plus side, it'll be over fast.

Im not saying you're wrong here - but that's quite the qualifier to expect outsiders to understand.

Especially in a time when we most assuredly have boots on the ground in Ukraine, we have selectively called up IRR members, and we continue to ratchet up our support.

I'd hold off on the panic.

We haven't called up any IRR members. We've only authorized it. This has been done many times in the past without actual callups. It's something you have in place if you ever need them.

Right now, we have regular reserve rotations to Poland, Romania, and other eastern European locations and have for almost a decade now.

If a few SOCOM personnel are considered "boots on the ground" then we have boots on the ground in just about every hot spot in the world.

Not taking my kid to fight your war. Not going to happen. You can take me, but not her.

Supplying materiel and sanctions have also gotten us dragged into ever expanding conflict in the past.

Just pointing out that there has been a shift in mindset in those that are in position to enact drastic changes. Seriously, could any of you have ever imagined even opinion articles calling for the draft to be a thing?

Why can't we just leave Russia alone?
hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. good times create weak men. and weak men create hard times.

Just have her claim a high school knee injury. From my experience this has kept 100% of people out of the military when civilians thank me for my service.

We haven't ceased being at or starting a war since Korea, it's our most consistent contribution to the world.

Required learning a trade and two years military service would help our society but has nothing to do with Russia.

We're always at war. We just don't declare it anymore.

Much like the doctors are used to push the brown shirt's vaccine, they would be used to diagnose draft deal breakers.

The best part of the draft is gonna giving Gen Zers hell over the prospect of there being a draft.

And my only hope for that draft is that they go full tilt DEI with it.

The reaction videos on TicTok of people getting their draft cards might be worth the price of ww3.

There won't be any pushback from Gen Z.

All they got to do is tell 'em they having a draft to fight global warming and the'll fight each other to get in line.

Same, but right now there's plenty of people loving that video because it fuels their rage and gives them a sense of, "see, we told you!"

I wonder if they're also waiting for the Kraken or Q to tell them what to think and do next.

No need to panic. we're only giving billions of dollars in money and weapons to a corrupt government fighting Russia. And giving them cluster bombs, too.

Nothing to see here.

Lol. If there is a draft, let's get quota from lib states first. Let's be sure to draft and go after all skin colors and all sexual persuasions and women.
Why sheet on American loving young men, then turn around and ask them to fight your stupid war.

Anyone talking about a draft is just fear mongering and posting click bait. It's simply not happening. Didn't happen for Desert Storm, didn't happen for Iraq 2, and didn't happen for Afghanistan. We put hundreds of thousands of boots on the ground in those declared wars, yet no draft. Now we're not at war and have no intention of being at war and people are buying into hysterical nutjobs saying there's going to be a draft? It's idiotic.

Do you mean massively unrealistic clickbait specifically designed to get low information readers to share it? Yes, of course that's a thing.

Any discussion of a draft is tied to the Army and the Navy's abysmal recruiting.
