Strike by F-35s worked

[Bally002]

My point exactly. This spilling over is going on so much, and there are so many areas that are on the verge of war, I keep wondering if it will all come together. 

I'm not a military man, or am I in anyway apprised to have war works. Since I've been a father though, my biggest concern about war, is my son. He's 21 now. The draft being brought back was my fear. I read somewhere recently that in the fall they will invoke the draft again for 18-26 year Olds.


Needless to say I've been paying more attention. Anyone else see the draft being brought back?

Not soon, I think.  I've heard the same whispers of bringing the draft back, but I don't see it happening soon. It wouldn't be politically expedient in an election year. They're talking about bringing it back because numbers are down and people aren't joining up any more, but my personal opinion is that they are not joining up because the military has gotten to be too "woke" owing to the efforts of the upper echelons. They want the military to be "woke" so that it is politcally compliant with the current communistic regime.

Now, another problem with drafting troops is that when you do, you get all kinds, not just woke pansies. You also get a strong contingent that have a disturbing tendency to think fo themselves, and some times that thinking isn't very "progressive". That can present a problem for a woke military.

Another consideration is that the older recruits get, the more likely they are to realize they can tell you to kiss their ass... and some of them will. That's bad for progressive cohesion. That's been a problem for as long as there have been armies. It's why recruiters, since time immemorial, have concentrated on recruiting the young - like high school kids - rather than other folks who've had time to have a bit of experience of the world. The more experienced recruits are harder to force into a mold, including their desired "progressive" mold. That means they could lose some serious ground in the home-stomping military they are trying to create.

So, for those reasons at least, I don't think they will bring back the draft soon. They are likely just trying to rattle cages by even talking about it. They know it won't be politically expedient - it could turn out to be horribly counterproductive - for the political kommisars, but they are hoping WE don't know that.

I wouldn't fear the draft for any of my 7 children. But I've been brought up in Military families.  Goes back years.  Grandfathers - light horse, (Bersheeba) fathers and uncles in the RAAF WW 2 and Infantry WW 2.  Brothers in the army.  Me, I broke the mould and joined the navy at 15 years old.  Did my time.  

Spent time at sea and had some amazing adventures as a silly sailor.

If you can do what you are told and subsequently act  accordingly for your own good and the good of others you'll have a different aspect on life.  I've had 2 children go through Army Cadets and make the pinnacle.  Very proud of them but they chose different vocations.  What they learnt will help their future.

My thoughts and as always,

Kind regards,
