Maybe I get drafted and serve on an aircraft carrier. Assisting with ordinance handling. First person in history to frag a carrier. freedom-and-democracy

[–] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 65 points 4 days ago

You'd be greater than the Ghost of Kuwait.

No oil. No treats. Just meat grinder or jail time.

Trump really can cook up a sales pitch.

[–] BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 62 points 4 days ago (3 children)

It's incredible how Trump can just impose deeply unpopular agendas upon the American people with barely any pushback or repercussions whereas Democrats fail to deliver the promised policies that the majority want.

Has anybody checked on the parliamentarian?

"Do it or you're gay and woke" seems to be the salespitch and it's surprisingly effective

I'm probably too old to be drafted so I'll never get my chance to do an officer fragging.

Gen Z and alpha, please make me proud.

Air Force, navy, coast guard, and space force have age limits around 41-42. Hopefully you missed that mark.

[–] radio_free_asgarthr@hexbear.net 44 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I briefly worked for NASA and am under 40. So, I am looking forward to being drafted into Space Force and do the first fragging in an office building.

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 24 points 4 days ago

Isn't that just going postal?

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 42 points 4 days ago

I get drafted onto an aircraft carrier or sub, i'm gonna make the reactor go prompt critical in dock

[–] ForteanCum@hexbear.net 33 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (4 children)

mfw im too old to roll a grenade into the command tent

[–] CrawlMarks@hexbear.net 68 points 4 days ago

Give me a gun and put me in secure military installations. This will end well I assure you

[–] KnilAdlez@hexbear.net 73 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Why draft? There's a perfectly good paramilitary force in America, trained and ready to go. ICE is ready to fight for America, let em at it.

90% of Americans are 3 missed treats away from committing a mass casualty event. Good luck getting them away from their slop buckets long enough to enlist them

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 50 points 4 days ago

Born to early for global communism

Born too late to frag your superior officer

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 57 points 4 days ago

This is the only imaginable context in which Anerikkkan troops can be guided into quasi-anti-imperialism by the left so I guess go off? I don't think there are enough Burgerlanders willing to fight or die for this shit, I think we could actually organize them against this and into our spaces in the process.

[–] LeninWalksTheEarth@hexbear.net 59 points 4 days ago

we're gonna need even MORE poor people to die for Israel.

Military recruiters hate this one trick

So glad I am disabled sometimes. Then again I'd love to frag a superior officer

[–] MemesAreTheory@hexbear.net 54 points 4 days ago

They call themselves superior, yet I have the grenade pin and they are riddled with fragments. Curious.

[–] P1d40n3@hexbear.net 42 points 4 days ago

Good thing I'm disabled! Eat shit USA!

[–] D61@hexbear.net 19 points 3 days ago

Okayokayokay... the right wing has been saying for something like 20 years now how standards for fitness and basic education are dropping among the USA'ian youth.

Who the fuck are they expecting to draft?

[–] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 38 points 4 days ago

Private Jody McFraggot, reporting for duty!

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 36 points 4 days ago (8 children)

Gotta get a legislative motion of congressional approval for the president to activate the Selective Service System. The president can't force conscription at will under the current system of power.

[–] Euergetes@hexbear.net 73 points 4 days ago

trump will tweet "I AM DRAFTING ALL MALES 16-45 INTO OUR GLORIOUS ARMED FORCES THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER" and a heap of 100k randos will be shanghai'd to Kuwait before a federal circuit court wags its finger and says 'you cant do that Sir!'

"65 Democrats join Republicans in reinstating the draft with a 380-55 vote. The BURKA Act now heads to the Senate..."

[–] quarrk@hexbear.net 28 points 4 days ago
[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 51 points 4 days ago

I can imagine him sending out "draft" letters that aren't legally enforceable, just to trick people into enlisting.

[–] oliveoil@hexbear.net 47 points 4 days ago

Can't wait to see ol' Donnie wiggle himself out of this conundrum

[–] TheModerateTankie@hexbear.net 34 points 4 days ago

Trump's doing a lot of things he can't do

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 34 points 4 days ago

Oh please, the systems don't matter. They've made that very clear.

[–] MarxMadness@hexbear.net 37 points 4 days ago

"Uh it's for national security"

[–] puppygirlpets@hexbear.net 37 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

if you submit to the draft remember to frag yourself and everyone around you

[–] cornishon@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 days ago

Guess which beloved institution supported by the Democrats (tm) will be doing the drafting on the streets?

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 36 points 4 days ago

sudden mass bonespurs epidemic
