Lol most of the US is physically and mentally unfit for service thanks to our garbage system. Out of those who are capable few have any motivation to fight for this country. The amount of people who are going to defect or get sent to jail for draft dodging is gonna be huge. Honestly it would probably take more military members to enforce a draft then actually useful soldiers they'd get out of it.

"Obviously, the reintroduction of conscription is an extremely disturbing prospect given America’s propensity for getting involved in meaningless wars that accomplish nothing other than empowering our enemies, killing and maiming our soldiers, and wasting vast resources."
Sure sounds like shitty propaganda to me but what do I know?
I hate that center-left anti-war rhetoric here always conveniently forgets the MILLIONS of civilians we have killed, instead focusing on the relatively measly tens of thousands of brave, brave American soldiers dying.
To look at the world that way, is certainly racist, but they'd never acknowledge that.
A warmonger that seeks to wage war against other nations must believe that beyond the country's borders are people of lesser value.
Guess we'll soon see if the accelerationists are right
And after the conscripts will reinstitute fragging
This is why i dislike conscription even for socialist countries
This is a good way to get some massive protests and hopefully a general strike. Look back at the Vietnam war protests, we had entire drafted units refuse to go.
Dear god. No. Conscription is gonna make shitty soldiers.
