Yes. Something like that is what it’ll take to make us pull our heads out of our asses.

I'm more concerned about my own government persecuting its citizens than I am a foreign invader. Hell, they're invading us now which will continue to erode our quality of life and destroy our sense of common community. If someone actually invades where we live, they will have no chance. There will be no draft needed. I won't even need to enlist. I'll just shoot the bastards. I'm pretty sure there will be a lot of good ole boys next to me. I hope that makes the hand-wringing dip-shits a little more comfortable at night.

Here's a thought to leave for you government-worshippers. Your forefathers warned you of what government can become. What's more important than the government are your freedoms to tell stupid motherfrickers they are stupid and they can kiss your arse. THAT is what you should be fighting for, and don't let the elites manipulate you into going along with their bullshite.

If the attack was limited to DC, no.

If it spread past DC, probably.

Our internal struggles should not weaken our love for this nation and our determination to fight for it.

The internal struggle is still ongoing. Nothing is settled yet. That fight is ours RIGHT NOW. I'm 75 and still fighting. How about you?

You think we're going to be drafted to start rounding up citizens some nutbag president had a weird problem with? In this fantasy of yours, you're a woke AF Democrat, just so you're aware.

You are confusing the internal struggle with a hypothetical external threat. Sometimes that line blurs. Question is what are you doing to fix the internal problems?

Oh, I see. You are just giving up.

I have a suggestion. GTFO.

I'm in my 40s, I'd probably be too old to be on the front lines, but I would contribute somehow if necessary. I don't feel the same sense of pride for my countrymen that I ponce did, but I still want my daughters to have freedom.

Right now I would be more likely to freely join whatever militia crops up promising to find and destroy those behind the latest false flag attack to create a wanted war that might help keep these evil Marxist puppets in power.

In a few years after we finish taking back our country if we were then attacked by a real external enemy, then yeah I’d fight to protect our real restored country.

If America was attacked militarily by a foreign nation, we wouldn’t need a draft.

That was a perfectly sane, rational, patriotic position 40-50 years ago. Now, if you are a white, heterosexual, Christian male who is gainfully employed, you are considered the most existential threat to this country, and most of the government is actively working to destroy you.

No, they wouldn’t be drafting me anyway, but I would sell everything I own to help my sons get somewhere else in the world. This country no longer deserves the loyalty, much less their lives.

Have you read the news lately? No draft required. I'm not sure what fantasy you're referring to except my wanting to be left alone. That's my fantasy. Smaller government, less taxes, and enforce the laws.

Not confused, just pointing out that internal conflict is more likely than external attack on our soil.

Giving up what? I've just told you what I'm willing to fight for.
