In a stunning admission, Leavitt told Bartiromo that mandatory conscription – not seen since the Vietnam War – had not been ruled out by her boss.

    The motherfucking racist pedo chicken shit draft dodger is seriously considering military conscription, eh. Every single MAGA fuck should be lining up at the US Army Recruiting Office and signing the dotted line for 11B (Infantry).

      Same here and I entered during the late 1980’s. In our ranks, we had plenty of Vietnam War NCO’s, with CIB’s, calmy explaining to us young cadets/officers what happened to the shitty leadership. Big reason why I do not to fuck with people and their lives when the shit is serious.

    It’s a good thing they have all of our voting data and will be able to target conscription on those they don’t like, which is exactly why and how they would do this.

    I’m old enough to where if I get called things had to have somehow gotten even more terrible. If it comes to that they can lick my fucking taint. I’m not going to war even if the put a rifle in my mouth.

    The admin is fully hallucinating if the think there ain’t a bunch of folks like me that would much rather forget their life than fight for this admin.

    FIFA Peace Prize laureate former Cadet Bonespurs will maintain peace by bringing back the draft. I hope all the fighting age Z/A males have exactly the life they voted for.

      Gen alpha? The oldest gen a just started high school. So yeah I hope those voting gen a kids really get what they deserve.

      I also have to speak on the matter of gen z. As an older gen z male (old enough that under current rules I can’t be drafted) I know the data holds that my demografic swung right in 2024. Not by as much as some act. But substantially enough to not ignore it. But I don’t know very many right wingers in my age group, so its hard to feel like something wasn’t missed. I would believe it if someone said that people my age were so far left that they refused to vote blue and that cost the election, but I can’t find any evidence of that.turnout was a bit lower generation wide, but not enough among men to make the argument that only the right wing men voted, unless there was a considerable surge among right wing youth turnout as well as a duo in turnout on the left for the same demographic.

      But now I’m rambling. Either way, its hard not to see millenials turning on us as a betrayal even if we statistically deserve it. Growing up and seeing all the articles where millenials ruined this or that and always being able to clearly see that the fault was not on the young adults but the society and industries, if there was even anything wrong with the change anyway. And I think everyone felt that way, not just those of us who were left leaning.

      And how I’ve had to drag some of the millenials I’ve known to see reason on trans issues and how they say the same things about me that people my parents age said about them it just really sinks in how cyclclical it all is and how no one tries to communicate on a level that actually breeds conversation. The brain sets as neroplasticity fades and now I am approximately who I will always be. And I hope I can look at gen alpha when they become adults and understand them, or at least try.

      Yeah, I thought if anything, Vietnam tought the lesson that the draft is a terrible idea for overseas deployment.

      Of course, learning from history is not exactly the style of this administration.

    Come on, didn’t you hear the language they’re using to describe war, like “double tap” 😉? It’ll be fun, just like a video game. Except when you die it’s permanent.

    Come on! Don’t be a 😺 be a penguin 🐧

    Btw, this is almost definitely an AI rip off of the footprints in the sand poster, right? I know the actual picture of the penguin isn’t, but if you gave AI a prompt to use that image and convey blind faith, loyalty, nationalism and Trump as a savior, what do you think it would generate?

    Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but knowing how propaganda is supposed to work, I can say it definitely caught some part of my own subconscious, and reminded me of iconic Christian pop culture I was surrounded by growing up. If you’re unfamiliar with the poem,

    During the 1980 United States presidential campaign, Ronald Reagan used a variant of “Footprints”, with himself as the human, as the closing lines in an August speech to evangelical leaders in Dallas, Texas. President Reagan used “Footprints” again in a speech at the annual National Prayer Breakfast on 5 February 1981.

    “Stray from the crowd” via conscription into the king’s military. Individualism is selfish. Your path has already been decided and laid out for you. So go protect the profits of the wealthy pedophiles destroying America and shitting on the constitution.

    Don’t think too much about it. This is God’s will. It’s all in the Bible (if you squint).

    You’ll just have to trust us.
