    I dont see the issue, obviously they’ll just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and win the war, it was easy back in their day so it’ll be easy for them now. Kids today are just lazy

      I don’t think Vietnam is views as easy nor was it successful.

    How about just republicans. If you vote for trump, it automatically signs you up for the draft.

    You want to send grandma and grandpa to war? They fought in Korea and Viet Nam, and some of them in the Gulf War. They’re sick of war. And, while some of them are MAGA, they are those who voted for “no new wars” and are now pissed at Trump.

    Bernie is a boomer and so are many of the people who support and voted for him.

    If you want to stop being painted with one brush, be the change you want to see. It’s not a generational war, it’s a fucking class war.

    How about we send the people who support it, and started it–the filthy rich?

    I mean modern weapons are so easy to use that even the elderly can be effective with them. I agree, let’s draft them. More jobs, more houses for real Americans

    There is a compelling argument to partially revert to the days of warrior kings. Every government who wants war has to be conscripted to fight on the front lines.

    I mean, with modern drone armies, there’s less and less need to restrict the draft to they young…

      The Old Bastards have proven the “need” did not exist during World War II. Doubt it existed at any point after that.

    Can you imagine how horrific it would be for the sergeants to wrangle a squad or platoon of boomers and actually get anything accomplished?
