Son and possibly headed to the military if he doesn't get his shite on track.

Son, but graduating in Engineering and going to be making/designing the bombs when done. His senior design project is in SCI-port so you can check the aerodynamics of your paper airplane with his simulator…so hopefully, that keeps him stateside…

I have 2 that are 19. I would def not want to see them drafted and involved in this shite. I've been thinking about it alot lately, & it raises my BP.

I would definitely die protecting the 2 of them.

Im betting we dont even have a nation in the next 20 years so it doesn't really matter.

Your average American can't even be bothered to stop texting while they drive so I can't say I'll feel bad for us.

My only hope is that when the world falls into chaos the global elites are some of the first to be dealt with.

My son is active duty. 101st Bastogne, artillery, Grafenwohr at the moment
Son in law, Marine Corps aviation, VMGR 352 fuelers, just got home from DJ.

Was hoping I wouldn't see this BS while they were active.

Imagine being a white conservative male and fighting for this country. Let the woke leftists and their tranny allies die for the state they worship.

Every major conflict this country has engaged in, including the one that led to its founding has had one of my relatives in it. Sometimes multiple relatives have participated in some of the engagements.

I’m a veteran myself. I have one son and I’ll be damned if he’s going to bleed on some foreign soil somewhere. If foreign troops land on US soil, I’m all in and will kit up myself and participate. Until then, me and mine have done our part. Someone else can take a turn.

I agree and I’m a vet that volunteered to go to Iraq during desert storm. No way I would risk a child for the trash in Washington DC. Our own representatives are the biggest enemy the people in the US have!

I am done, and me and mine do not answer the call of traitors and communists.

We’re not going anywhere when The Constitution must be defended here….where we have been betrayed and invaded.


Also…frick the Feds up in here.

I have a 16 year old son. He was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes a couple of years ago. Feeling better about that right now.

Here is a tip as a former recruiter.

When your children get to enlistment age and a recruiter calls, don’t ignore it, don’t hang up. Answer their questions and tell them incorrect medical information and it will be the last you hear from them. If not they will continue to harass you because it’s their job.

Now when it comes to a draft, idk how the govt will work it and it will probably come down to an evaluation to get a deferment vs taking the word of someone.

Always here to inform as I prefer a voluntary service vs those who don’t want to do it.

I failed the draft physical twice in 1971, at the custom house downtown canal street. the most prevalent scheme to fail was to eat a bag of sugar, to fail the blood sugar test. My out was a two old urinary infection that still required meds. If you are taking real meds, apparently military does not want the hassle to maintain.

Nowadays a scratch documented on medical history will dq someone. There is a lot more to branches missing Recruiting than people not wanting to join. Those who want to join usually can’t and those who are enlisting is because they’re being sold.
