I always feel revoltion when I read that word even when it fits the case. Frontline is such a horrible word.

I suggest we force politicians and their children to enlist. If you want war so bad, lead the charge.

There's a reason most of the presidents we consider the best were former military. They have that experience. They also tended to avoid conflicts whenever possible. It's not a coincidence.

I thought you had to be ex-military in order to be considered fit to run for president?

Not at all. Trump famously got a bullshit diagnosis of bone spurs to dodge the draft.

The U.S. Constitution states that the president must:

  1. Be a natural-born citizen of the United States.
  2. Be at least 35 years old.
  3. Have been a resident of the United States for 14 years.

Beyond that, it's just what the people want to consider required qualifications.

I'm honestly sorry for her. Stress really had a toll on her. She definitely looks older.

I’m not sorry for her. She’s a fucking fascist mouthpiece. She can rot in hell.

How about sending the people who caused and supported the war to Irans front lines?

You can easily assemble a whole beach assault group in Washington alone. Who gets first does not matter if they don't get any backing...

Ever noticed that whenever anyone is critical of anything in America, no matter how small or how fixable, The reaction of American conservatives seem to be to send people to countries that are either horrific Dictatorships or have been fucked up by America?

Untrue. That's only when they're critical of anything a republican does/did. Meanwhile these same chuckle-fucks wear t-shirts and cover their pickup with decals about how much they hate a Democrat or completely misrepresenting a left-leaning suggestion.

whenever anyone is critical of anything in America

Unless it's the price of gas. You're always allowed to complain that you needed a second mortgage to fill up your third F-650

They work their hands to the bone tanking an economy. All so the military becomes the attractive option... and young folks still won't join up in droves.

This generation has no respect. ;p

All so the military becomes the attractive option…

Since Bush invaded Afghanistan, the appeal of military service has been sinking faster than lead weights.

No sane person wants to join the military.

This women is the official White House troll. Her office is nothing more than a shitstain in history at this point having given up all decorum and reason.

I think you're underestimating how gen Z would respond to a draft. There has been no generation in US history less supportive of war. I think a significant number of gen Z would gladly turn their weapons on the general that asks them to commit war crimes without hesitation, and that's if they even manage to drag us kicking and screaming to the front.

It wouldn't change a thing. They already did that in the Vietnam war

1

The Vietnam war began with majority support and slowly became unpopular over time. The Iran war started with the majority opposing it, and is the first war where that's happened in US history. It's a very different political climate from the Vietnam war era.

This woman is the bloody olestra shit stain that leaked through trump's diaper into his drawers and onto the towels they use to protect the furniture.

Didn't we introduce social programs and education for all because Americans were too illiterate and unhealthy to serve in the military? She needs to starve for a few weeks so she doesn't have the energy to say stupid shit like this.

Apparently, the share of the population on food stamps in the US is more than 2 times larger than in Brazil...

We see things happening there, but it's never clear how deeply it goes.

America's fouled up its war effort enough already.

Sending in millions of angry Gen Z to Iran and giving them arms would foul it up even more.
