Does the process stop and no drafting happen unless the draftee himself requests that waiver or would a desperate military initiate the waiving process itself? Inquiring minds are speculating here and all that. Thanks.

“moron” ... you could call me a moron because I served in the U.S. army across the Fulda Gap from your army.

The problem you Putinbots have is that you believe your rhetoric that we, in the west, are a bunch of sniveling cowards, and shit our pants every time Putin or Medvedev threatens nuclear war.

You guys have your hands full with Ukraine today. Ukraine isn’t a small country, but it’s not a large one either. It’s a middle-sized country, and your equal. You lost when you attacked Poland in 1918. You had problems when you attacked Finland in 1939. And, you deny that you needed our lend-lease to stand up to Germany.

But, what is hilarious is that you believe that Catherine the Great, a German, gave you the right to Ukraine in the south, and to Belarus, Poland and the Baltic states in the east. She did lead your country and the time you conquered those countries. but might doesn’t make right. Where people are willing to stand up to you, sufficient in number and resolve, and supported others who are next in line, you will be stopped. Your idea of trying to scare people so you can conquer one small country after another isn’t working.

Well you proved you are a moron. I do not support Putin or the war in Ukraine.

Chest-thumpers like you get us into needless wars and Ukraine is a needless war. '

I do not care who controls Ukraine. If they can't defend themselves, then too bad. Dozens of nations have been swept away and dozens more will in the future.

I only care about the USA. Russia is not a threat to anyone. They couldn't take Afghanistan as the Soviet Union and they couldn't take Ukraine.

What you mental warriors cannot fathom is that Ukraine will end up being divided, which could have been negotiated from the beginning without losing lives.

But you blustering warriors kept saber rattling with your empty-headed leader, Biden, and you got your childish war. Now you have to project that Putin will take everything back despite so many Eastern Bloc nations joining NATO.

Oh, I don't believe anything you claim....proving your words mean nothing to me.

Filed. Thanks for this, Liz. Incredible amount of massively expensive stuff to just give away to lose. Costly to Ukrainians especially. This has to be due to the kickback scheme running all the way back to obamaumao the First, and supporting a hell of a lot of Senators (back to McCain, and don’t forget Lindsey).

This idiot couldn’t even do a withdrawal out of Afghanistan much less a face off with Russia. Get thee gone incompetent one!

...I’ve already told my sons to NOT register for the draft when their 18th birthday rolls around for the very same reason. Let the Libs go and die for their Wokeism ideology in some muddy European potato field, but leave my boys OUT of it!

“Back in the first Cold War, we YAFers had buttons that said, “Just say Nyet to Soviet nuclear blackmail.” And Reagan did it.”

Maybe I’m mixed up, but I DISTINCTLY remember Reagan treating the Russians as human beings and sending people to negotiate agreements with them - rather than just telling them to f-— off as we have now with Biden’s people.

In the year 2024, what's amazing is female masculinists of dating-in-the-big-leagues age, don't also have to register with Selective Service, but practically must register with Instagram/OnlyFans.

Keep in mind your sons might not be eligible for student financial aid, or cushy federal jobs, although if they are white, they didn't stand a chance anyway.

Obama/Biden negotiated by promising the Russians greater “flexibility”. Reagan showed backbone and resolve and supported the oppressed nationalities of Eastern Europe. “Just say nyet to Neo-Soviet nuclear blackmail.”

“Reagan showed backbone and resolve and supported the oppressed nationalities of Eastern Europe.”

Any chance you have links to when Reagan sent them guns to kill Soviets, or threatened to send in NATO troops?

Reagan sent the Afghans plenty, including service-to-air missiles. Reagan did not tolerate Soviet criminal invasions the way you Leftists do.

Tanks, APVs, troops, air defense? Didn’t think so. Why didn’t Reagan do ANYTHING military-wise in Eastern Europe, why didn’t Eisenhower, why didn’t LBJ? They all saw MAJOR Soviet crackdowns there?

When you’re able to understand the answer to the above questions, you will be competent to discuss the Ukraine issue. Until then, adios.

If you are trying to make the case that Reagan would not be supporting Ukraine you are way off from reality. Reagan built up our defenses across the board and brought the heat where the Soviets invaded which was Afghanistan. The pressure was so bad that the Soviets withdrew at the end of the ‘80s. Reagan demanded that the Berlin Wall be torn down. In less than two and a half years it was being torn down. That is why you putrid Putinistas hate Reagan in your heart of hearts. He was strong and he stood for freedom.
