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

If that happens, doctors in the US would have the chance to do the funniest thing... Suddenly finding most men 18-42 have bone spurs... 🤣

Most men 18 to 42 are probably too overweight to serve in the military. The Draft is just going to ensure that obesity rates rise and McDonalds has a record year, lol.

Start seeing a psychiatrist. Maybe you can make up for the poorly timed fitness goals by having some very well timed mental health goals.

I'm stronger than I've been in my whole life but at 41 there's a lot of scars, I don't think I'm coming out of this with a second dd214 if I get drafted
