Quoted: Based on world war II my chances of being drafted at age 36 are very low unless we've really scraped down to the bottom of the barrel. I know guys my age were getting drafted towards the end of the war my great grandpa was in his mid-30s and drove landing craft in the Pacific. However I'm in pretty good shape no history of mental illness no physical ailments. shoot, I haven't had a prescription for anything other than antibiotics for the last 10 years. If the rest of the millennials and the zoomers are as bad off as they say I may not be bottom of the barrel material... View Quote Times have changed, back then guys were lying about their age and volunteering and fighting the Japanese at 17. Now 17 year old males are doing tiktok dances. |

I'm not going to some foreign land at the behest of the globalists.
OTOH, there is plenty of fighting that needs to be done here. |

I’d be willing to bet like 50% of fighting age males in this country either have been or are currently on either adderall or some kind of antidepressants. I thought that was a dealbreaker for service, wonder if they’d change that?

The Corps already told me they don't want me 37 years ago. Doubt that's changed.

At 50 I doubt they want me back. I can still turn a wrench on Apaches though. Young pups need to step up and women now since we are " equal ".

And imagine if they instituted a draft - there would really be no need for conscientious objector status - anyone not wanting to serve would just run out and get a script for medical MJ for "anxiety" and slink back to their basements. |

Quoted: I feel the same way. There was a time when I would have proudly served should a draft be instated. After seeing how our politicians seemingly start wars so that themselves and large corporations can profit, I will not be responding to any draft notice. They can send their own kids to die is some god forsaken backwater first. Should a foreign country actually land troops on our shores (I realize this is not really feasible), then I'd be one of the first to pack my kit and show up. View Quote |

Conscientious objectors, so basically every woke-ass lefty who has changed their profile pic in every social network to Ukraine's flag, and is pining for the US to go to war!
All those asshats will refuse to fight, just as they have admitted they wouldn't even fight for America! "Send the conservatives" is their motto. "Guns are icky" Fucking unreal! |

Just refuse the vax and you'll be ineligible.
Oh, the military will waive the pointless mandate once shit gets real? Of course they will. Edit: I suppose they'll just draft you then shoot you full of whatever poison they want once they've got you. |

Quoted: I would love to see them do a draft, this Country would explode! View Quote I imagine it would be run with racial equity in mind so they would largely avoid the...urban youth that have been told they are victims of a racist society that has oppressed them all their lives. No, it would be aimed at areas they want to clean out and repopulate with 3rd worlders. It would be time to kick it off I think. I know I'll do what I can to help get the younger people in my family out of harms way even if it means going to prison. Drafting Americans to go fight this would be something worth fighting against. Nobody should die to help secure the big guys 10%. |

I'm all in favor of a draft as we need several million brave Americans to charge Russian machine gun positions or clear minefields...
But we should do our best to keep our military free of racist, sexist, homophonic, Nazi influences at the same time. So clearly we cannot draft straight White male Conservatives as they are unfit to serve in the military for ideological purposes. Nor can we trust any of the various traitors to their identity group who consider themselves to be Conservatives, so no Conservative women, gays, or Conservatives of color. Fortunately we have plenty of highly educated qualified people, who have already been trained in the best gender studies classes, available to draft. And since a draft based on sex would clearly be misogynistic we can draft those good, brave, college educated Leftist women first as this will make up for past discrimination. All terrain mobility scooters with a cup holder and pintle mount for a machine gun will be provided to those with special needs. So no getting out of it for being a fatty. |

I'm 42 and can't get drafted. I didn't sign up for Selective Service until I was 20 and got a nasty letter in the mail threatening me with prison time. The USAF Academy wouldn't take me because of asthma and two skull fractures so they wouldn't take me in the draft either. Hence why I didn't sign up until I was forced to do so.

It's funny, a few months after Biden took office I started hearing radio commercials about having to register for selective service. I mentioned to a few people that I'd never heard a single ad before about SS in my life, and that it couldn't be a good sign. They told me to throw away my tin foil hat....makes me believe this whole thing has been in the works for a while.

I have two sons, one 25 and one 30. They both have terrible asthma, one is dyslexic. I did over 21 years, so they don't need to feel bad being PDQ'ed. They can aways work the factory or whatever stateside to support a legit war effort. I am far too old and broken now at 57 to be of much use. I will do my part here if needed.
