The Karens will volunteer for the new ‘Slacker Raids’, like during WWI.

To the Liberals, the military is the biggest social program of them all.

[As long as all 57 genders are subject to draft registration, sure. Let’s go Brandon!]

One shot at basic/AIT and off they go, ready or not.

Nope. Nukes would be flying before a draft hits. Or Red Dawn. It’s political suicide, especially for the left as their antiwar continent would rise up and riot (and wouldn’t vote).

Why would the Uniparty care about political suicide? They can manufacture 81 million votes on command.

Let me get this straight.

We send Victoria Neuland and Blinken around the world to country after country on intimidation and threat trips, and we don't expect a war?

While on this side of the planet, nobody wants to join a woke military that can't defeat a third-world country like Ruzzia, Vietnam or Afghanistan, takes billions upon billions from our pockets, and lies to us every day about how great they are.

Time for a change -- and a big one!

As I count it, the US has been involved in 32 wars/military actions since the end of WW2

What's the count for DECLARED wars for the same time frame?

ZERO! No declared war, no war crimes...

“First, all the people and all of their family members from 16 years old to 85, who want war with Russia/China/anywhere get drafted!...What a honking hoot that would be!...”

I don’t know anyone who WANTS war with either Russia or China. However, if War comes to your gate or front door, and kicks it in; you have three options: (1) You can throw up your hands and surrender, and put yourself at the mercy of your conqueror; (2) you can run and hide...until your conqueror finds you; or (3) you can fight. It’s as basic as that.

Todays military will not be able to even draft people that would meet their exacting standards: woke, trans, queer. There aren’t that many around.

The standards will be discarded. Look at what has happened already to our PT standards….a far cry from when I was in the Airborne in the 70’s…they will only be after “ meat” to fill positions.

Since such a huge number of potential recruits are obese or sedentary, I have long proposed low cost training camps to get such recruits to above minimal standards *before* they go to basic training.

All such camps need are a fence, wooden barracks, mess halls and medical clinics, and a staff of former NCOs. The food they eat is for weight loss, and they get a lot of exercise.

They do not wear uniforms, just athletic gear. The former NCOs wear baseball cap identification. Discipline is simple. Don’t foul up or you will be kicked out.

After three months, or six months for hard cases with important specialties, they should be well above basic training standards. In turn, higher than standard trainees will give the basic training courses a boost. “A rising tide lifting all ships.”

The bottom line is that recruitment goals are met, and on a budget.

Probably true. If you can’t meet the standards, lower them.
