I was thinking back to those old WW2 era movies, and it occurred to me, what person would willingly sign up to get killed in Europe? Those movies all champion patriotic duty, etc, but even back then, if the draft had never occurred, no one would have gone to fight in pointless wars. It took Roosevelt going out of his way to slaughter his own people in Pearl Harbor before he could get enough support to go kill off his fellow men in yet another pointless war. Which then begs the question, how is a draft even constitutional (i know, we dont really follow it anymore), it completely violates the very core concept of being a free man? War is peace and slavery is strength

I wonder how long would it take for the officers to realize they are in the middle of an enemy camp.

Yeah, with recruitment down and an all time high of Jewish and government distrust, drafting for another kill whitey cause may cause a white based fort hood situation.

True or not; I remember reading a story about Ukrainian soldiers being welded into a tank and forced to fight... If someone welded me into a tank the first person to die by said tank would be the person who welded me into the tank...
