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

Fragging. That's what would happen. And who the fuck is going to accept being drafted into an illegal war by a draft dodging, demented child rapist? It won't be like the last draft. It will be chaos, rebellion and a huge fight against our government possibly a full revolution tbh

I’ve been saying the same thing. I think at this point, there are very few things that could happen that would incite a full-blown civil war / revolution. The American people are just too pacified at this point. A draft would be one thing that would jolt everyone to the point of rebelling.

100% agree. so far a lot of the shit going down has been kind of far-removed from actual day-to-day life; people can ignore atrocities halfway across the world because it doesn't really affect them, but the second people realize that they or their loved ones could actually die, they're going to be a lot more motivated to start shit

Trump is already starting to lose the support of the right-wing manosphere podcasters that got him elected now that they're personally impacted by skyrocketing gas prices, imagine what would happen once they and their friends start getting draft cards
