I tend to avoid talking politics with my parents (mostly because they watch CNN and MSNBC all of the time), but in rare instances where war comes up, I ask them, "what if they reinstate the draft?" Their immediate response is, "that will never happen" and that is the end of the conversation. I sometimes think they say that because they don't want to even entertain the idea of the possible outcomes of a draft for their children, though perhaps they genuinely believe that the draft would never be reinstated because of potentially how unpopular it would be. I have seen similar strong opinions on this board about the impossibility of a draft in the United States, and I have to wonder why you are all so certain about it?
Time and again we have seen decisions by the government being made that defy logic, especially politically, only for the average citizen to look on in complete apathy at best, and sheer joy at worst. Years of the Syrian Civil War being plastered everywhere with criticisms of US inaction have made the left more hungry for war. The Ukraine War has seen leftist individuals (even the trannies who you would expect to whine and moan about doing anything) actually travel to Ukraine and participate in fighting. The propaganda is powerful, and the apathy towards resisting is even stronger.
I think you would have to be foolish to not even entertain the idea of the Establishment reinstating the draft. It doesn't matter if the logistics would be impossible as that has rarely stopped the government before. As far as I see it, the Silent Generation and the Boomers are not satisfied with merely passing away quietly, they want to go out in a blaze of glory, consequences for their children, and the human race as a whole, be damned.
Because Vietnam was the last time they did it and it gutted their officer class in friendly fire, unless you were E4 and lower you weren't guaranteed your safety.
Combine that with an armed and disenfranchised population and put it this way, when even the cucked and blackpilled UK population says "FUCK OFF!" to the draft, you think you can make Americans sign up?
This time it won't be the officers it will be the politicians.
One can only...
I mean.
Damn.
That would be terrible.
Boy.
I hope that doesn't happen.
its also not going to happen :
anyone smart enough to pull it off and get away with it, is also smart enough to keep himself and his family away from all this globohomo crap. so why would he bother.
anyone smart enough to pull it off but not get away with it, is also smart enough to understand that he'll be dead and they'll then come after his family. so he won't dare.
anyone dumb enough to try anyway is also dumb enough to believe globohomo lies, so he won't do anything either.
which explains why the only attempts at shooting politicians come from the people supporting the globohomo side.
