Donald Trump and his war and all his followers can literally go fuck right on off with that bullshit. You can send all the republicans who voted for this shit including the republican senators. If 42 is cool, why not even older. Shit, they’ve lived their lives. Take one for the team guys
You could get a waver to join at that age. I do think the US Military is a great option for people but it can be hard on a family though. It’s one of the reasons most of my friends did not renew. At 42 your probably have kids and probably have your life mostly fleshed out. The military was great for a lot of my friends and the benefits are good.
This admin I don’t trust why they are moving the goal post
As a soldier, don’t we reserve the right to ignore orders that are unconstitutional?
I’m feeling goarmy
35 is also pushing it
Make it a donut hole. Not eliglbe between the ages of 36 and 66 ^1/2. Drone technology can easily be applied to rollators and walkers.
I’m pretty sure that what you’re suggesting is very nearly the plot of John Scalzi’s “Old Man’s War”
Imagine being fucking 42 and still willing to kill/die for this shithole country. wew.
Idk, I think there’s a real demographic of Divorced Dads who could qualify.
*massacres entire village*
“fuck you, stacy!”
The Epstein class has to cull the proletariat somehow.
If they start the draft, many of us will just have to become trans, get bone spurs, or have low T.
Low T won’t save you as Hegseth wants to inject soldiers with T. Being trans also won’t save you as they will happily change their tune on the trans military ban during a draft as an excuse to throw trans women into the meat grinder.
I can’t wait for the lawsuits around legally compelled detransititions for military draft or any government positions.
Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia
We’re at war with Westasia too though.
And here I was expecting that AI will allow people to be more productive and retire early. Man, I was so naive.
No AI gets to make art and design systems which will leave us free to do the back breaking manual labor.
AI does not make art. It makes soulless, meaningless slop.
But at least it’s enabling child predators! Wait. Oh, no. Is AI actually a bad thing!?
I still have high hopes it’ll help the environment, at least?
Was? You think that AI is done causing problems? There are whole new classes of unknown problems waiting for us in the future…
“Was” doesn’t imply they think we’ve hit rock-bottom.
They were naive to think “AI” would improve things, but now they are appropriately pessimistic going forward.
recruit me at 39 and I hurt my back on day 1 tying my boots
Oh no my bone spurs are acting up again
So you’re saying I still might have a chance to frag a commander, after all?
I just had my birthday and was excited to be no longer eligible for the draft. I don’t think this will actually go anywhere (we have evil trolls running everything, they’re probably doing this “for the lulz” or to “own the libs” or whatever)
Haha “no longer eligible” lol good one
