Red Hats

If Trump starts another war, or when trump starts another war. I will be supporting the draft. I have seen so many young men and boys with Trump hats on. And I told many to join the army when the man thy support starts world war 3. Most of them don't know that the draft (selective service) can be reinstated at any time. The fucking red hats need to be the first boots on the ground.

And I do not think they would get to far on the battle field riding their ECV's and hoverrounds.

I recently saw and extremely obese old man in Publi grocery store) wearing one while riding on his ECV. I was sorely tempted to ask him if the government paid for his fancy rig, which we all know it did.

But being Southern, I could not bring myself to be rude to an elderly man even thought he had voted to fuck the country he claims to love.

...there will always be ways for the rich fucks/repuke chickenhawks/well connected cowards to escape the draft.

And given the mental capacities of the average 21 year old MAGA Hat-wearin' White 'Mercan Male, just because they're shit-for-brains stupid does not necessarily mean they should be shipped off somewhere to be inflicted with ptsd/crippling injuries/death etc.

I am trying to hold onto whatever empathy for "the others" that I still have left at this point.

6. I have conditions

Condition 1. This entire administration is removed from power and sent to the forward area until the war has ended. Most of them are too old to be combat troops, but there are plenty of uniforms to be washed, meals to be cooked and ammunition to be delivered. Hillary Clinton can be president.

Condition 1a. Neil Gorsuch goes back to Denver and Merrick Garland takes his rightful place on the Supreme Court.

Condition 2. The entire defense industry is nationalized for the duration of the war. All trading in defense industry stocks is suspended, all defense industry will operate on a not-for-profit basis, and no employee or officer of any defense contractor may receive more pay than the highest-paid soldier in the forward area.

Condition 3. No civilians in the forward area. The era of the $85,000 private is over.

Condition 4: No one is exempt. There will be no medical exemptions, educational exemptions, rich-man exemptions, family exemptions or champagne units. If your number comes up, you go.

Condition 5, and most important: Uday, Husay, Ivanka and Tiffany Trump will all be trained as graves registration specialists and sent straight to the forward area.
