      They stopped the draft because drafted soldiers kept fragging their superior officers lol, in Vietnam you as an LT or captain had to negotiate patrols with the enlisted and drafted soldiers. If they said "no we don't want to do this" and the officers made them do it, they'd just kill the officers.

      The separation between the drafted population and the glass eyed careerist freaks has only grown larger.

        Damn, this sounds amazing. I need to read some accounts of this.

          I can't remember where I heard it from or read it, it was probably some ass long vietnam war documentary. Sorry, wish I could help.

    Lol eat shit, war machine. Good luck forcing Millenials and Gen Z to fight your wars because I have news for you, they're not coping well with current events and being forced to fight another pointless war will push them over the edge.

    “Question the sustainability of the all volunteer force” …. Instead of questioning whether we need to keep the size of America’s gigantic insane Military so large?

    Fuck offffff.

    Always found it messed up how they'd go to alternative schools for kids with learning disabilities and heavily push their shit.

      Yeah when I played volleyball in high school, the number of recruitment posters in another school's gym, halls, and locker room was inversely proportional with their budget (which was of course heavily correlated to the racial makeup of the student body)

        I started high school going to a small private school before transferring to a larger public school and the way the military recruiters were was like night and day

        At the smaller school with wealthier kids they just sent one guy with a clipboard and some free shit to give us, I remember making fun of him by going right upnto him and pointing at the little flag on his right sleeve and saying "Your flag is backwards"

        No where near as based as I could have been but it made him mad, started yelling something about "the flag pointing that way because the army is advancing not retreating" I just laughed

        At the public school with over 5 times the number of students (and more of them not white) things were different, they didn't just send a guy with a clipboard instead they sent a fucking drill sergeant to take over our gym class for a week

        I just skipped class that week

    There are plenty of ways to avoid a draft with little or no consequences, so the zoomers here shouldn’t worry too much. If that really does happen and anyone needs advice on that, I’d be happy to dust off my barracks law degree and put it to good use.

    Damn yeah I'd hate it if they got a draft and I'd have to be shacked up with the other young guys fresh out of high school, all in a bunker and showering together with the cute TikTok boys, and we're all young adults ready to explore our... :panting:

    :bonk:

    Nvm draft would be bad :volcel-vanguard:
