It's also the time of year that they remind you that you don't actually own your cars or your home.

Don’t be so sure. If we finally pass the tipping point we’re headed towards and conservatives quit enlisting, all bets are off.

The hell there won’t if Leftists control the country for another decade. You think a political movement that tells you what kind of car you can or can’t drive, what size soda you can drink, or that you have no say in whether your child has sexual mutilation surgery is going to draw the line at compulsory military service???


I think the right is just as likely to conscript as the left is. Different heads of the same snake. Neither the right or the left gives a flying frick about freedom.

Can’t they just switch genders? There are some of those nut bags in high ranking government positions already.

Did I sign up for this unknowingly? Not saying I wouldn’t but I don’t remember doing so.

You probably did at 18. I vaguely remember my dad getting me to go do it at post office.

I'm pretty sure i was given the form at school.

The one that really got me was at MEPS when they asked me if I had any identifying marks

While the policy was established before Biden took office, the Biden administration has not changed the standard."


That's a fun one.

Most WWII servicemen were drafted, contrary to popular belief.

If you were in your prime years, you weren’t allowed to volunteer for the armed forces after 1942. Draft only.

Is there some reason they had to come out and post this?

I'm was the last in my family. They did draft me and send me to to a foreign land. I fooled them. I came back and then sired 3 boys to carry on the name.

Absolutely infuriating. I’m so sick of these politicians sending our kids to die in shitholes for their financial gain. All under the guise of “freedom and democracy”.
Every president since LBJ except for Trump had us involved in shite we had no business in. Even Reagan was dicking around in Libya.
We should have entered Afghanistan in late 2001, wrecked shite, and left.

lmfao, they can frick off. the veneer is gone.

Short of an invasion of the motherland, i.e. the continental united states, I am not sending or allowing to be sent any of my kids to die to make some politician rich and lockheed martin's stock go up - which is what wars are about now.

I thinks it's crazy how few women realize this is a reality for all American males. My wife was flabbergasted when I told her about it.

That said, if my number is ever pulled, we're in big trouble. Not because I'd be worthless, because I am, but because that'd mean a lot better men than myself died and they're scraping the bottom of the barrel by the time they get to me.

A large scale war could be good for us as long as it's not fought here.

Seems like the only time humans act nobly and for the greater good is when their existence is threatened.

Says a lot about the species.
