The Way Forward
Related: About this forumHere is a IDEA re-implement the draft. A drafted Department of War!
STOP AND THINK. about your family and what that would mean for ALL 18-35-year-olds.
STOP AND THINK. Why has it never been brought back since Vietnam? That was my time to serve, 1965-1969.
STOP AND THINK. WHY DO THEY WANT AN ALL-VOLUNTEER military? It grants them the political edge to say... , BUT IT IS AN ALL-VOLUNTEER FORCE!
STOP AND THINK. Recent numbers suggest that historically, only 1% of the population has served in the military.
STOP AND THINK about how they are going to put boots on the ground across the entire "Western Hemisphere": Greenland, Canada, America, Mexico, Cuba, South America (all of it).

(14,190 posts)Heres my take-
The third rail of politics is not SS, it is actually a military draft. One whiff of a draft will automatically peel off service age men from MAGA.
So- Dems should push this: Any military action
globally or in the USA, ANY MILITARY ACTION TAKEN
whether by Presidential whim or agreed upon BY Congress, automatically triggers a draft nation wide.
In such a case
the minute the Marines were sent to LA? DRAFT
Blow up a drug boat? DRAFT
Any administration would certainly think more than twice before they crossed that line.
JMHO

No one wants to send their family members off to fight a war for oil and the further enrichment of billionaires.
In my opinion, the ONLY thing that would make a draft possible is IF WE WERE UNDER ATTACK FROM HOSTILE FORCES within our national boundaries. With guns, bombs, missiles, and other weapons of war.
NOT "drug boats" in international waters, MAYBE carrying drugs, MAYBE headed to our shores and not European destinations.
