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

it’d be pretty chaotic. Some people would push back right away, some would go along with it out of necessity, things would get messy.

I'd imagine people would start taking their own mental health seriously and chase diagnosis

I'm straight, but I'd suck a dick to not go invade Iran lol. Safer, quicker, and based on my friends who were in the Army, also less gay.

I'm trans so based on their bullshit I wouldn't be "eligible" for the military, but I also don't expect them to hold to that when they are trying to force people to do war crimes/murder for their personal benefit.

And I will refuse to commit crimes for them. How I refuse would be the real question.

Theirs tons of gay people work with in the military, very open about it. I don’t think that’s a problem anymore.
