It depends what kind of war. Drone warfare is great if the opposition is a non-state actor or a weak state where obliterating them at a distance and letting someone else deal with the clean up is on the table. Against a state on relatively equal footing that has the capacity to deal with drones and would require a proper occupation in order to defeat, it’s not that useful.
That’s what happened in Ukraine, a lot of the weaponry the U.S. sent over that was good at taking out ISIS didn’t fare so well against the proper Russian army.
All the blob actors are making noise about confronting China. There is no confronting China without a draft. Even if this is all a charade to juice stock prices, it could easily get out of control. Anyone who is of a draftable age or has friends or relatives of a draftable age in the US should have a plan for getting that person out of here.
my plan for the draft is the same as what I’m doing for student loans, ignore it ignore it ignore it, make them drag it out of me kicking and screaming, and then go nuts and kill my CO if they kidnap me to boot camp
And if Iran is downing your F35s China will sink your aircraft carriers and whatever’s on them within the week. The weapons they’ve sold are outdoing the Eur*s’, imagine the shit they keep for themselves
Trump Cruise Lines. if you contribute your own money during conscription, you can upgrade your travel package and rank. a contribution of $1 million earns you the rank of Commodore and you are allowed to steer the ship!

The only moral way to serve in the US army.
