Since Diaper Donnie is soon going to be rubbing his hands in glee to send Americans now into his meat grinder over wars he starts, how do you plan to avoid the draft?

I’m too old to join, thank god. Too old and too out of shape for them to bother caring. Plus a lot of psychological issues that will make me more likely shoot my superior that’s telling me I need to kill innocents to help king pedo succeed in his bullshit missions.

    Take an opiate before I go in and nod out in the line or seat or interview or whatever.

    Also talk about how you’ve had to be on the opiates to come to terms with figuring out that you might be a different gender.

    Boom. No war for you.

        Man if you go in there nodding out and drooling on the desk I feel like they’re not giving you a gun and you couldn’t go to basic training until you went through treatment you would tell them.

        What’s there to prove? You showed up high AF on opiates and are very clearly (in their eyes) a drug addict if you do that.

    Just say you have adhd or some other ailment and require a lot of meds. For most of you that’s probably true. Hell, my medication pile is bigger than my meals.

        “They will waive that if they have to”

        “If”

        “they have to”

        The further down you are on the list the less likely they’ll need you… and the more time you have to visit you’re cousin overseas if it starts looking to hot outside… in Minecraft of course.

        The second thing is rfk can get rid of whatever he wants but people are going to need that thing still. He can ban heart medicine but when a recruiter asks about your health you can still bring up your are supposed to be on medicine and you can’t function without it.

        The heart condition excludes you regardless… or… moves you down the list and you have more time to play Minecraft before you have to go visit that cousin of yours.

      So what you’re saying… just so I’m clear and we both are on the same page:

      Are insinuating the some are born to wave the flag (the red white and blue) but that ain’t you? Well that is unfortunate, son.

      Man, you’re WAY more charitable than I!

      In 2016, I offered formal asylum to a few dangerously leftist US friends of mine.

      This time 'round (2024) I publicly revoked it. I’m done with the country as a whole. They need to stay there and figure their shit out.

  • Wait that’s an option? 👀

    Hmm I guess I’ll just die. 🤷‍♂️

    Maybe I’ll find my faith into Buddhism or something lmao. (cuz buddists can’t do violence so you have religious exemption)

    Oh yea btw, my mom called me weak and cowardly and unmannly and once told me “You should join the military so you can become more ‘Manly’ and ‘brave’”

    I was like “Sureee mom, so when WW3 breaks out and they deploy me to Taiwan, I get to shoot at China’s PLA soldiers…” (context: my family is from China) then mom got mad at me and told me that I’m so weak no military would ever accept me anyways… lmfao.

    So if I get drafted and die in war… maybe my mom will finally be happy that her son “died a man” or whateverz…

    Fight for an Independent California.

    Was in the Marines before, hated it and left to go to school. Would never think about joining back up. However I actually unironically would be willing to fight for California to be its own country, America is already on decline and society is fucked in general.

    Aside from that maybe I’d expatriate and go to my mother’s home country in Central America and try to improve things there.

    Do you think they’d actually bring back the draft? I feel like after Vietnam they realized that it’s too hard to send the general population to do terrible shit without getting a lot of pushback. A professional military that’s already filtered out anyone with a conscience is half of why they can just do shit like this while most of the country doesn’t want it. Plus technology has improved a lot, allowing a smaller force to do the same thing.

    As for me. I’m already out of that age range, but I’ve already been wanting to move for a while. Maybe that would be the last kick in the pants necessary to get me to actually do it. But with the depression it’s still kind of a coin flip so….

      I mean we are talking about an administration that things tarriffs are great and constantly swaps them around and also that sending paramilitary into cities is great. trying to get rid of abortion and straight up suggesting woman should not vote.

      The DoD thinks its a dumb idea to have a draft as the quality of the fighting force is degraded and other Incentives work better. The problem is facts and good reasoning are not something that the current administration is known for. Half want a Holy war to bring about Armageddon. The other half will do it based on something they see on social media.

      The US government has been investing billions into AI, drones, and other autonomous and remote weapons systems.

      Sending a bunch of young men to the opposite side of the world would be not just unpopular, it incredibly expensive. Food, clothing, equipment, healthcare costs. I highly doubt the end goal is to actually annex Iran, so they’re much better off trying to find a local group to support in taking over the country and establishing a US-friendly puppet state. There’s no need to have Americans in guerilla warfare for that.

      The only way I see them doing that is if they WANT to kill off a chunk of the male population in that age group. Which… Maybe? I could certainly see Trump and Hegseth trying to send “undesirables” overseas to die, but they’ve also made moves like banning trans people from military service. Unless they reverse policies, it looks like Trump will prefer to cozy up to the military rather than use it as a tool for getting rid of people.

      Maybe Trump will just do what Netenyahu tells him to. But I think this is more about trying to manufacture a reason to cancel mid-term elections like they outlined in 2025 than anything else. With the added benefit of funneling more government money into the military-industrial complex.

      Do you think they’d actually bring back the draft?

      The important question is whether THEY think they’ll bring back the draft; and the answer is yes, they are thinking of that very thing. Young men - they’ll bar women - will go and die, just to keep the Epstein files sealed by any distraction possible. Any fight, any time, anything big and bloody.

      (Because if you listen to the one witness, it’s just even so much more heinous than even this)
