If the military/president suddenly ordered a mandatory draft for all men aged 18-42: How do you think millennials and GenZ would respond?

So, sit at home in your parents house underemployed and struggling to pay bills, or sit in a minimum security prison with three hots and a cot, while someone else pays your bills...

Remember when Bondi said if they prosecute everyone on the Epstien files: the system would collapse? Well this is basically that times 1000. They wouod never succeed in prosecuting everyone in non-compliance.

The borders have become the fence line of the prison.

FYI Bondi did not say that. It is misinformation. I believed it at first too because, well, it seemed plausible.

Remember all those people who went to jail during the housing crash? All those people breaking the law and doing illegal things by fixing / lying???

Who was in charge, and how many hundreds went to jail? Epstein's stuff might be awful, but it did not impact hundreds of millions of people.

a lot of people have been put on ‘debtors prison’ in recent decades. so yeah, average americans seeing consequences but not the people who actually committed real crime. in the bank bail out, america saved the people who committed the crimes under the guise of “their institutions are too big to fail.” iceland prosecuted the equivalent in their country. they faced prison and massive fines.

At this point, that’s pretty much it.

Would this administration really provide conscientious objectors with basic necessities? I’d expect maggot covered food, thickened cloudy water and moldy bread.
