That’s rich and you know exactly why, fuckin “my foot hurts” draft dodging pos.
Oh do it! Say you are gonna do it! Have it as one of your policies. The youth vote is gonna LOVE you for it! And by love , I mean hate and vote against you.
The Right want you to be part of the Military Industrial Complex.
This is so funny. Commadant Bone Spurs is going to make the draft mandatory?
Irony. Love it
First Rishi Sunak (the UK PM) announces this and now it’s Trump. Like no thank you, I’m not signing up.
He wants to make sure all future Americans are “losers and suckers?” 🤔
Present family excepted.
Thankfully I’m too old to be called up but even if I wasn’t, I’d refuse. I’m not serving any country ran by Trump.
I ain’t no senator’s son, son.
The idea that it will help build national identity is disgusting. Mandating the sacrifice of our young people’s lives to protect American imperialism is not an identity I want to be associated with.
Dude is a nut case. I could see free college to be a teacher or volunteer in distressed communities or underserved professions, e.g., elder care, public health Svcs – but the military draft? Nope. I’m a vet and I wouldn’t recommend forcing young people to pick up a weapon alongside a volunteer. No way. There’re other ways to serve that are just as important.
As a veteran of the all volunteer Army, I don’t want conscripts. They’d want to be there even less than any of us ever did on our worst days. They’d be unruly, disruptive, and a danger to the rest of us.
Draft yourself first, Donnie Bone Spurs
The last time America had a mandatory draft was the Vietnam war. That draft was probably the biggest reason for the social chaos of the 1960’s. America’s youth were opposed to foreign wars to begin with. Being forced to fight in them was not popular. The draft was also one of the reasons the US lost the Vietnam war. A volunteer army that is well trained tends to be professional, motivated, and capable of fighting a war and winning. While an army of disgruntled draftees is only good for putting down civilian riots. Oh wait. think I just figured out why Trump wants to do this. He want’s an army of goons to stamp out dissent when he takes over.
Conscription destroys service morale. I can’t imagine a single senior leader in any branch would want to go back to the bad old days of the Vietnam Era.
But he is the anti-war candidate, right?
So it makes perfect sense for conscription either fully or partial
Compulsory service seems like a great way to put antifascists into the enlisted ranks.
Like, the only way this helps fascists is if they have a subjective way to reject recruits that they aren’t sure support their fascism.
The only reason they discuss mandatory service is because they know their white supremacist militias aren’t going to give up more than a weekend a month cosplaying Civil War 2.
Not a single Trump has ever served, not a one!
“Mandatory Military Service” = “Mandatory for you, not us and our friends/wealthy donors”.
Such a popular platform!
Bring back the draft
Ban porn and birth control
Banning no-fault divorce
Gonna be a marked increase in bone spur diagnoses.
A guy that ran from military service wants to force kids into the military
The DRAFT DODGER speaks!
Thousands of us “boomers” marched, protested and sat in the back of police cars in the 60s 70s to get the mandatory draft cancelled during the Vietnam war. Of course corporal bone spurs wants it back so all the kids who aren’t in college can march for him like Hitler’s Youth. We also marched for women’s rights, voter’s rights and against nuclear war. You guys better get ready if that jerk gets another term. Pretty sure it won’t happen if everyone gets out the vote!
Imagine a draft dodger telling everyone else they have to serve. What a crock.
The quiet part is likely the fact that the GOP tends to assume that military members/veterans are naturally their voters, so if they force kids into the military as they come out of high school, surely that will make them conservatives.
This…would not work the way they hope it would.
Nothing says you’re the pro freedom candidate like forcing citizens to serve in the military.
