If CDAN is correct – and he often is on these sorts of things that are outside his usual purview – it’s time to talk to your children about what to do if/when the draft is reinstated in the United States:
Despite which A++ lister prevails, they have both committed to making all youth register for the draft and it is to stop kids from moving out of the country. Except for vacations, they want to make sure a work force is available in the US, so you will not be allowed to be gone for longer than six months until you reach an age that has yet to be determined.
A++ lister refers to a US President or credible candidate. Clown World is fighting for its life, so don’t imagine that the US federal government won’t impose a military draft on both sexes. The one lesson the Clown Worlders have learned from their defeat in Ukraine is that they’re going to need more soldiers. A LOT more soldiers, given the way in which the US + EU population is significantly outnumbered by the Russian + Chinese + North Korea + Iran population and the kill/capture ratio tends to favor the latter.
And since they know that there is absolutely no way a volunteer army will suffice to fight a global attrition war, a draft is inevitable unless Clown World gives up and surrenders. And there is no indication that they are anywhere close to doing that yet.
Still any illusions about living in the “land of the free”?
