Another $50 Billion Or Else

Or else what? Send more American military to die in foreign wars where the US has no national interests or strategy?

This feels like a a hostage situation...give us the $50 billion, or we send your sons and daughters off to die.

US citizens are sick of war, and a move like this would be political suicide to the current administration. We know it, and they know it.

This seems like a sign of real desperation to me.

Is this referring to a possible draft or people already in the military?
@Rolexeo My response is a guess, but you asked about a draft. Fair question. Personally I don’t see that happening. If it were to be re I Instituted, two things for sure1: if you thought you saw pro Palestinian matches, rallies and chaos, they would pale in comparison to anti draft resistance. 2. If the current administration openly approaches that idea or were to do it, Biden and his administration would be a memory. He’d be slaughtered politically.
@Rolexeo I don't think is a threat to reinstate the draft, though Biden has raised that as a concern as recruiting and enlistment are way down under his administration. I think those with a political/financial connection to the military industrial complex see the money valve is about to be shutoff. This threat from Austin is a form of extortion. He may have just ended his military career.
