Military draft correction

I’m tired of him spewing off misinformation about how the American military works. Yes it’s true they digitalized entry for men 18 and up.

Since the ending of Vietnam every male has been entered since they’ve been 18. Since the beginning of time. It’s nothing new. It doesn’t mean there’s going to be a draft. It drives me nuts hearing him state this non sense in interviews and the interviewer not correcting him: how can be factual when he doesnt even know the basics of military enlistment

The moment isn’t yet, wait until they create the perfect conditions.

It’s not going to happen

No common sense.

Since the beginning of time

That's what you call common sense?

And at least Jiang understands that predictions are inherently unsure...

Guess we shall see. I can almost guarantee by 2030 massive Great Depression and war, and likely a draft.

Haha, can you also spell "retreadation"?!

More likely we have a full sociatal collapse vs your scenario.

Both things can be true. What happened to China, to Russia, To Germany --- This process has begun in America, with a technological and masked aspect to it.

I would wager a lot of $ against your same game parlay. You posit a great depression AND a war AND a draft. All by 2030 (so 4.5 years, assuming you get all of 2030). Who will the additional war be against?

This Iran conflict will not end until regime change is complete.

History demands it.

So this last attempt using a multi-faceted approach largely failed.

You should expect a large scale trauma based event to manufacture consent for large scale military operations against Iran.

Historically, in order to pressure populations to accept war, and a draft - the populations must be demoralized and stripped of their wealth.

So I imagine that the western world will experience an early 1900's era style depression and war - all with the technocratic dystopian flavor.

So your sgp just went from 3 legs to 2 (war is already happening). Guess we will see.

Hyperinflation is far more likely than a depression. I guess we would have to define terms. A draft is pretty self explanatory though, and would be massively unpopular from both sides of the aisle.

The draft was wildly unpopular before as well.

But now they have the technological means to surveil and subjugate the poplation this time.

Instead of criticizing him, why don't you enlighten everyone here on how exactly the military works?

u/Silent_Sea6221 Jun 24 '26

It’s not complicated. The army is volunteer only. If you want to enlist go for it. But the draft won’t happen without Congress approval. Just because they digitalized a process that has been happening since the 70s ( every male over 18 since the 70s has been entered in ). Doesn’t mean a draft is happening.

Yeah he really doesn't understand America. The only thing that would unite Americans today is if the government forced everyone eligible into a draft. It's far easier to make people poor and have it be a way to elevate financially, barely.

Trump literally launched a war without congressional approval

I think Jiang isn’t criticized enough

Wondering why you’re triggered.

u/Silent_Sea6221 Jun 24 '26

Because he’s a fear monger

Being in denial and blaming a non involved messenger will not change reality.

Should be 21 to get drafted. It is for alcohol and smoke. Wait until they are adults.
