In the military, if you don’t make promotion lists at certain junctures in your career, you’re done. Whether or not you make said list depends on your boss’s completely subjective assessment of your performance. My boss was a toxic diversity hire and I knew from the day he took command that it was going to be a rough time for the unit so getting a pair of negative evals from him was kind of like having Paul Ryan tell you that you’re a failure.

I thought I’d be more angry or sad or something but truth be told I’m mostly just relieved. I didn’t want to fight for this new president or this congress and I don’t want to watch the organization I’ve devoted tens of thousands of hours of my life to slowly fall apart over the next decade and now I won’t have to.

So I guess I’ll just take my four deployments worth of combat experience, go back home, play with my kids and wait... for something.

They can't force you to do shit though. They can scream and punch and kick you, they can't force you to do anything.

Also twig-armed Antifa members and 300 lb. Twitch streamers will be exempt.

Draft ends at age 26, so many of us would be exempt

Heh, for many of us, IRR expired years ago.

I guess burning draft cards will become a thing again.

No, in the new glorious nation any wrongthink will be stamped out immediately. The media lauded burning your draft card in the 70’s but in the new glorious nation refusing to submit to the will of the state will be a capital offense. Your service is needed to fight Eurasia, which we’ve always been at war with.

Yes, burning the card will be permissible but if you don’t have a permit to expel that carbon, well that’s gonna be what they called a “tenner” in old Soviet Russia. Coincidentally the Chinese imprisoned Pu Yi for 10 as well. Welcome to our future!

You know what will be a laugh?

All these people that hated Trump will really hate it when they start executing those that hated him because they served their purpose, and I will laugh my ass off as I dip my hand in my popcorn bag.

Better to serve jail time. Let those lefties fight for them, this is what they wanted.

They may be able to draft you, but they can't physically force you to fight. Just refuse to cooperate with medicals, tests, training etc. They could jail you but that's better than fighting and dying to make them richer.

Are you familiar with communist revolutions? They’ll then threaten your family. And torture.

Wasn't the first waves Mao sent against South Korea units who had been absorbed from defeated civil war enemies? I.e. untrustworthy.
