The last year they've been going non-stop with the anti-China shit. Now they're dropping all pretext and are just running stories like "So when we gonna start war with China, fwends? UwU"

I don't care what you think about China. This shit is stupid. We don't need war in the middle of a pandemic, even if it just ends up being a trade war. We'd lose that war. Call me a paranoid freak but this kind of shit terrifies me.

    i am content to sit at home on my ass because the military won't draft trans people uWu

    Shitposting aside, yeah that shit is terrifying. It's the sign of a crumbling empire. America has been itching for a new war since the War on Terror tap started to run dry. China though? We would lose, and badly. :xi-lib-tears:

        You're eligible to be drafted so long as there is a need and means to draft you. The cream of the crop just tends to be 18-25-year-olds as they're the most physically useful. But like, people well into their 50s and 60s were sometimes drafted or recalled during WWII. Shit, SOCOM has the ability to consult and retain civilian expertise during "peacetime." It's all down to what the military needs.
