If the USA congress re-enacts the war draft....

Easy for me to say....I won't get drafted at my age. But I would never dodge. Too many men and women have sacrificed their lives or put their lives on hold to protect the freedoms we enjoy and take for granted. We are not perfect, not by a long shot. But I believe in the United States and the majority of good people who live here. So I would serve if asked.

I am a bit old for the draft, but, our military worked better without the draft before Biden went all DEI, aka Didn't Earn It.

It depends on what the war is about. But if it was one I opposed, I wouldn't flee to save my own life; I'd flee to avoid serving in a war I didn't support. If it was one I supported (like repelling an invasion or putting down a right-wing insurrection), I'd volunteer.

However, there won't be a draft. Chicken hawks like to bring up the draft as virtue signaling, like suggesting that we reform gang members by having Marine drill instructors yell at them, or complaining about how kids these days are too overweight or too emotionally fragile to be able to serve. The fact is that the military doesn't want a draft. No officer wants to deal with angry, resentful conscripts who will be looking for the first opportunity to frag their CO.

If a draft will be enacted because we end up in a world war, there's nowhere safe you can go.

You'll get to decide between being drafted by the US army and fight for your country, or be drafted by the Russian or Chinese one once they're done with wherever you'll be.

I served during the Reagan wars in the 80s. Draft my daughters or grandkids? They have dual citizenship just for this reason.

I served from 1970-72. I sort of had mixed feelings, including guilt for "supporting" the war.

@HumanEarth i am not american but you cannot say this was an act of cowardice alone some have principles and are pacificts and peace loving people

Served 78-81. Yet who would want a nearly 65 year old retired man. 😆

I will send my army-age boys to Mexico

Probably, I would have been.

No. They're not going to admit I could be useful in a war that might end! Useful,- like human beings? Nah.
