Draftees wouldn't be functional. 15% of the population can't even be enlisted because there are no jobs in the military that they are mentally capable of performing without close supervision. Add to that the point that it takes a high degree of motivation to meet the PT standards or to cover 4 miles/hour in gear and under a ruck. Draftees being pulled out of the single mom participation award society of 2019 will fight that level of discipline and personal responsibility every step of the way.

The U.S. already learned the lesson that not even the Brits or the Canadians can hold up their end in a coordinated battle plan - they have to be assigned discreet missions they can complete at their own pace.

Who said anything about them being functional?

Give them a popgun and a parachute and drop them somewhere over the Middle East. Surely the rigors of protest, initiations, and cosplaying would have prepared them enough. :hat:

...anti-fascist demonstrators...

you mean your statement?
Textbook example of Orwellian Doublespeak.

Nope.


Sorry pal, fascism is product of the Left**.



**I'm only sorry because self righteous Leftists aka "progressive" tend to conveniently ignore this fact..

If one looks it up, they will find that Benito formed the Revolutionary Fascist Party in 1915 after he was kicked out of the Italian Socialist Party. After Benito came to power, he went on to advise Francisco and Adolf, with Adolf adopting many of Benito's measures almost verbatim. So Benito's Black Shirts became Adolf's Brown Shirts and suspected opponents were rounded up and jailed. Journalism became state business. Entertainments had a propaganda aspect.

All of that occurred after he was kicked out of the Italian Socialist Party. Again, after...


Historical revisionism must be symptom of despair.

State control of the means of production is what it is, regardless of what you call it. Resorting to violence to maintain that control because people won't comply voluntarily also is what it is, regardless of what you call it.

Revisionism is for losers.

Authoritarianism vs libertarianism is the thing. Autocratic vs democratic is the thing.

You agree with CS then--fascism is a product of the left?

That leaves 85%, Lots of resources in that 85%

as a loose rule, 10% of the population is always going to be sh!t in any endeavor.

That means 90% is game.

20% of those is where 80% of the gains are going to come from.

But you can't win if you don't play.

Fire up the draft!

Haha!

I trip on the right left dichotomy that people get hung up on.

It's powerful special interests usurping the interests of the masses.

It is just another expression of black and white thinking.
Simple thoughts for simple minds.

Latrine duty seems well suited for that 10%.
