     @sickburnbro What are the draft ages again? I know they reach further out as the meat grinder runs dry but those guys are the ones that gotta run first.

     @sickburnbro If the war is against Russia and/or China, he can just leave the "military aged" part off, since they'll be drafting every man with a pulse, like in Ukraine.

In Australia, I honestly expect that that's how I'll die; I'll be the martyr, but the boys better fucking have their fones out and be livestreaming on their own connections before the officers notice.

     @sickburnbro @skylar There's only so much they can do to control a troop, that's true, but mutinying in some shithole ukelele town isn't going to solve the problem; they've already told us they don't care about losing top-notch gear by the billion, and a couple of deserters are just that.
     If it scales up, that might work. But what's the goal after that? At some point you've got to have a plan to take it all back home and deal with the source. Do you think that's viable? Could you get your hands on a plane?

     90% of your recruits will be too fat or out of shape to pass bare minimum physical fitness standards and won't even try, a solid half won't be able to pass a drug test and you'll have to arrest a bunch of those for trying to smuggle drugs in with them

     Could America implement a draft? People were saying the same shit during the W Bush years with Iraq. It was total bullshit back then and professors were parroting it in universities.
     
     Today our military is very thin. Friends of mine who are currently officers have told me the military is not prepared for a real conflict. There are record low recruitment numbers. A lot of people took the vax mandate as a "get discharged free" card (of course losing their benefits .. not worth your life). One of my friend's who is still in said "I'm fine now, but I could die in 10 years" .. so at least some are aware of the risks.
     
     Will we see a draft? It still feel super unlikely. Despite low recruitment numbers and those forced out due to the experimental clot shot requirements, I don't think a draft is even remotely viable today. The backlash would be insane. Those who are best fit to fight do not see the current government as legitimate. Despite low recruitment, there are still plenty of people in.
     
     War in 2024? Honestly it's overdue. I'm surprised Biden hasn't started three wars already.

     This may bring a little insight. They will draft generally up to 40, but it is not preferred. We also have a lot of brown people to send to war, one of the purposes of having such a high immigration rate. A large percentage of the population is not even capable of military duty, due to age and mental problems or injury.
     
     I would be a little concerned if you are under 35 with no injury or other medical disqualifier. But with hundreds of thousands brown people imported monthly, we have a big conscription pool. So it may not be as dire as some people make it out.

     @DrBtc @sickburnbro On paper that sounds good to accountants but as has been pointed out elsewhere in this now hellthread, the browns are here mainly for welfare handouts and the government is gonna be hard pressed getting most of them to actually go fight and die in a foreign war. They wouldn't be able to offer pay and citizenship comparable to being an illegal and collecting tax free benefits for nothing.

     Would it? Less than 18% of Americans have student debt and 2/3rd of that debt is under $20k. That's a car loan. It can be paid off in three years with an entry level job.
     
     Most college graduates are the type who wouldn't do well in the military to being with.

     @mkultra @djsumdog @sickburnbro Most mercs are pulled directly from the military or vets. At the rate its going the potential merc class will be dead from suicide before the checks ever get cut. Youll probably see more backline jobs taken up by civilian contractors. Tbh a draft isnt all that unlikely. If they need say 300k bodies thats a tiny percent compared too the 340 million population granted that 300k will be from one demographic probably young white guys but whose gonna do anything for them if their number isnt pulled?

     @djsumdog @mkultra @sickburnbro 18% of 340 million is a lot and with how the interest works that 20k is closer too 100. The military and even all vets are only like 3% of the population. Active duty isnt even 1%
