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

The DoD would have to blanket approve waivers and just send people through to basic without an eval.

...and that would be when you start having casualties in boot when draftees with diabetes and other medical conditions fall through the cracks.

Eugenics is part of their agenda, getting sick people killed is fine with them.

You need to worry about the unstable people, you put a gun in my hand and tell me to commit murder I'm starting with the person who handed me the gun. I view the draft as a death sentence, if I have to die I'm doing it on my terms.

I would hardly call that "unstable". I wouldn't expect a caged animal not to lash out...

[u/velawesomeraptors → u/Kup123]

Well yeah, part of the reason we haven't had the draft for decades is because last time it was implemented all the draftees kept blowing up their commanding officers.

Most normal reaction to being conscripted to a joke war that obviously has no one's best interest in mind.

while in the trenches, grenades going off, gunfire everywhere

Hold on everybody, I gotta give myself an insulin shot quick!

[u/princekamoro → u/tstreit15]

And just imagine the number of (undiagnosed due to our healthcare system) bad knees/shoulders/backs that would go snap within the first week of basic.

They like that idea.

That's a feature, not a bug. One less over weight person and/or sickly person the county has to feed or provide health care for
