Lol why would any army recruiter have the inside scoop about the draft? That's beyond ridiculous

My first thought as well. Why would something so damaging be entrusted to a bunch of buck sergeants?

If there's any truth to this at all, the recruiter's probably took him for a dumbass and told him to hurry up and join before he gets drafted.

To my knowledge, Trump has said nothing related to reinstated the draft. However, military service might be just what is needed to whip some of the liberal snowflakes into shape.

Would be the greatest thing that could ever happen to this country but the pussies would never go for it. The people in this nation have been free too long to appreciate freedom.

When I joined the USAF, we had about 600k troop strength. Now, I believe we about 300k. I left in 2013 after 21 years. They started to scan members medical records to proceeded with discharging people at mass rate.

These fricking idiots. I swear to God I've never seen a more idiotic collaboration of fricktards anywhere on earth. NO NO NO NO NO fricking Army recruiter would ever say something so stupid. I was in the Army, I know Army people. Some are stupid but this is an epic level of stupid. It didn't happen.

Talked to a few Army recruiters today, Word is the Draft is near. Right from the horses mouth, Ive mentioned this before on these boards. They said theres a extreme need for a influx of new recruits, There numbers haven't been this bad in memory. Nobody is hitting the minimum recruitment numbers needed, And that goes for all the services.



You mean to tell me Chicken doesn't hold the monopoly on dumbass posters on this site?

I'd be OK with it asumming a lot of stipulations.

If they called me up now I wouldn't fight it so long as I received an opportunity at a commission and OCS commensurate with my education and experience.

DU is a cesspool devoid of rational thought. Sound familiar?

The dumb fricks on that site are too stupid to understand that it would have to be approved by Congress. One of their own literally just talking shite, and they're too stupid to know better.

I agree, but I would want 2 years active duty to be the minimum. The draft should be brought back yesterday.

What are the chances this was started by someone just trying to see if they latch onto something ridiculous like this?

There were 4 million births per year in the years coming up on 18 years old.

Even if 10% died that's 3.6 million 18 year olds a year.

In 2014 there were 1.354 million active duty personnel in the ENTIRE military

If 2 years services were required of everyone that would be 7-8 million people every 2 years.

MATH - try it sometime.
