You know what I’m thinking, I applaud that the Gen Z are into fitness and wellness. But they are influenced by the right through social media, and the right are probably conditioning kids so that they will be fit for a future war. It sounds conspiratorial, but the Heritage Foundation is already dictating social policies in America and beyond. Steve Bannon is their dark missionary by evangelising abroad and wanting the EU to fragment.
Ender’s game is about current events.
Gun nut wannabe operators are like our primary domestic product. Decadess of defense propagda in TV, movies, and games has garaunteed no shortage of willing idiots with expendible bodies who have already foregone their humanity for the fantasy of headshotting the men and raping women. America will rip apart at the seams before it ever sees another general draft.
NGL, I had to legitimately tell myself this the other day. I spent most of my formative years as a young adult worried that the neverending war in the middle east would escalate and I would be drafted. I was not alone in this fear either, most of my peers had plans to flee the country if Bush called for conscription.
It never did end up happening, probably because the was was deepy unpopular after it was clear that the invasion was just a pretense for regime change and not at all related to 9/11 or WMDs.
I think the mental trauma from that never healed, and now I’m pushing 40 and still thinking every new “war” we start will have the MPs knocking at my door to serve me my mustering papers.
What if they need drone operators? Our fat 40 year old asses have been playing games since the late 80s, and those skills are finally in demand.
ICE has recruited the Gravy Seals and Meal Team Six.
And they’ll use a bunch of teens straight out of high-school that still have youthful reaction times instead.
Sorry bro, they just going to import a bunch of Korean esport pros and make us all look like slobs.
Bro used the word “import” to describe human beings… 💀
That is common vernacular in esports.
He’s talking about a racist-ass regime that would 100% use that term.
Then also deport them the minute they aren’t needed.
I dont know, im just some guy. Whats the word? Patriate?
That sounds more ffffd
How does a lack of affordable Healthcare make you 40?
Im more ways than one.
At least my death after I’m drafted in the wars over oil will raise the share price of the Military-Industrial Complex shareholders, bless them 🙏🙏🙏
RTX and General Dynamics thank your service. 🙏
“Next thing you know you’ve got Uncle Sam’s ass askin’
To join the army or what you’ll do for their Navy
You just a baby
Gettin’ recruited at eighteen
You’re on a plane now
Eating their food and their baked beans
I’m 28
They gonna take you 'fore they take me”Thank you, Slim Shady.
Its marshal now.

Now I have to worry about my son being drafted.
The issue is that many of us are also concerned about the others who would or at least could be drafted. Our children. The younger adults we’ve taken under our wings and built friendships with. It’s hardly any comfort knowing that I would never be drafted. Granted, I don’t think there’s a good chance of anybody getting drafted in my lifetime, but stupider shit has already happened, so there you go.
When Nazi Germany decided to declare war on the whole world, their leaders remarked that some of the fighters they were forced to use were “old meat” and “green vegetables”. (So-called “casserole” units.)
It’s one thing to think you’re invincible and quite another to commit acts of state-sponsored terrorism and war in the belief that you’re untouchable, but if there’s anyone in the world who seems willing to find the breaking point, it appears to be Donald.
They are more commonly known as “cannon fodder”
There isn’t much reason for them to establish a draft… other than spite.
We can’t overlook the long-standing economic pressures. The Army is the only way for people starting with little-to-nothing to build up generational wealth. If you want a college degree without crushing debt, or a job without a college degree, it’s the only reliable employer, and the only place where you can earn a pension.
That’s definitely one of the reasons a draft is not needed. Not the only reason, but one of them.
The issue is that this administration is petulant, nihilistic, narcissistic, and spiteful. Just straight evil. If they could take PoCs, LGBTQIAs, and non-Christians and forcefully throw them into a violent meat grinder war they absolutely would.
oh, I totally agree… I just don’t think they’d want to arm us. I think they’d rather put us in camps, like the camps Robert F Kennedy Jr. incessantly promoted in his campaign.
Wishful thinking, in the Serbian- Croatian war they were drafting 60 year olds. Russia has dropped any medical exemptions.
Nahh, they’d have to be drafting 60 y/os by the time they got to me. Honestly ill just be impressed i held out that long.
Unless you foresee them instituting the draft tomorrow.
Russia’s strategy has been to throw meat at the front until Ukraine runs out of bullets resulting in over a MILLION killed or wounded. The US had around 60,000 total casualties across the entire GWOT, with the vast majority just being wounded.
The point being I don’t think the military will need a draft anytime in the future. That doesn’t rule out the possibility trump does it for the hell of it, but at the same time I’m pretty sure the Republicans would impeach him themselves if he did that.
The point being I don’t think the military will need a draft anytime in the future.
US military has a record number of recruits because it’s the only way to get an education and healthcare.
eh, in the Netherlands you can get drafted until 45. at least there’s no mandatory duty nowadays… yet.
No one thinks there would be a draft. But 40 isn’t a cut off, nor would weight excuse you. The U.S. military has enough members to fight in 10 Vietnams at once.
(Also war has changed, so maybe 100 Vietnams at once)
Can’t draft me if you had to gun me down in the living room. Fuck this shit hole joke of a country.
They will just shoot your family if you don’t get to the front.
but first your friendly dog
We should all just plead for having bone spurs.
The U.S. military has enough members to fight in 10 Vietnams at once.
And loose 10 Vietnams at once.
If you think the U.S. lost Vietnam, you are mistaken. The U.S. never tried to occupy Vietnam nor would, it’s racism would never want it. Vietnam was a political tool with 16:1 death tolls. And the 16 wasn’t the U.S.
Lol
The US just kidnapped a sitting leader and made an absolute joke of Russian AA again.
Folks to this day still can’t separate the military and nation building.
I don’t think a compromised pre-negotiated operation where one side bribed the other to pull it’s punches is an accurate way to assess military capability.
Sorry military fetishists but “Operation Forgetepstienfiles” wasn’t impressive on any level.
Well actually it might be impressive that the US military managed to fly a formation of helicopters more than a hundred miles without crashing half of them. Bravo…
How many were killed in Iraq? And how many losses? Afghanistan? Iran?
The outcome of war isn’t determined leaderboards. Are you that shallow a thinker? The US wasn’t trying to maintain a client state? They went in there to do what exactly? For fun? For shitties and giggies?
Turn off of Call of Battledudy™ brainrot and get a an education, jesus christ…
Its pretty damning of the state of things to see someone shilling this in 2025 and on here of all places.
The average age of a Ukrainian soldier in 2023 was 45, and probably hasn’t improved. And I also expect there are plenty of men in their 50s and 60s in various roles.
Seen interviews from the other side from lonely old men who haven’t been drafted but wanted to sell their lives to provide monetary help for their younger relatives, pay for school neccessities for their grandchildren etc, since they’ve already had the best of their time on the earth and are open to give something back. Without going an inch deeper into what they are signing up to do, that’s one kind of motivation that can put amateur elders into trenches in the context of a foreign country war. Had none relatives doing that, thankfully, but seen the same pattern with my gramps in their last years, and can imagine a future orphan-crushing-machine headline of some Jonh H. Lawnmover going into another war because their daughter can’t pay a hospital bill after a short stay if I assume the same mentality exists in the US in spite of borders.
Yeah, 45 was the cut off for the U.S. as well during the world wars I believe
Im not talking about weight but okay its w/e
👌👍🤡
Coward 🤣
Oh no a person on the internet call me a coward. Like a coward would.
👌👍 definitely not about far people 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You posted an image of an obese person talking about being draft worthy. Are you lying now or when you posted it?
Lying? Its a meme. Weight gain is a symptomatic condition. You know what. Memes might be a bit much for you. I lied.
Guy in the picture is obese though
Observant. Yes.
GTFO of there or use your guns to combat the ones drafting. That’s the honorable thing to do.
Contrary to popular belief, only about 32% of Americans own even a single firearm. Though I suspect that number is rising along with the government instability. Most of us don’t have even a little bit of power to fight an oppressive regime such as the one we currently live under.
That’s a lot of weapons, considering your demographics. You have almost as many armed citizens as you have people between 18 and 45 yo. Other ~25% are 45-60 yo. And if the numbers are rising… well, that’s as many firearms as I was expecting. Also, one can figure those kind of statistics to be conservative, as cautious people may not be bragging about their guns. But in all honesty, just don’t get drafted, resist as much as you can with whatever methods you find yourselves proficient.
It really matters what those firearms look like. I don’t know the statistics but self defense arms are predominantly handguns which are not weapons for an uprising. Any militant force would be met with rifles and fully automatic weapons as well as military training. Not to mention drone warfare and gas suppression. Americans are just not soldiers.
It’s not an uprising, it’s just resistance, and yes, it’s a difficult thing to do. But it’s okay if they want to go to war to an otherwise peaceful country so they don’t make their pedophile president mad.
I never thought I’d see a POTUS consider denaturalising US citizens as well so you’d hope they won’t draft you but I wouldn’t discount it. Cannon fodder is always necessary especially if you’re not white or MAGA.
This scene was always hilarious because we thought it could never happen… But given everything that this administration has done so far, it seems more like a prediction…
Thought it could never happen? That sort of shit happened several times in past wars.
And yet we never thought it could happen… Food for not thinking about.
This 2nd term he showed what he thinks of his MAGA base.
