🚨🚨Lot of news today but this shouldn't get lost.
Donald Trump and his advisers are scheming to make military service "mandatory" for Americans. JD Vance appears to be all in too.
Get the word out: a #TrumpDraft is coming under #Project2025 👀😳

Great of them to bring back Mitt's "givers and takers" talking points from 2012, which worked like gangbusters then.

This seems like political suicide. What young person or parent of children of any age would want to guarantee that their kid be drafted? This seems like exactly the sort of issue (maybe the ONLY sort of issue) that people would be willing to cross party lines over.

They looked at how Starship Troopers universe operates and thought, yes we will implement this. I mean it makes sense for a bunch of fascists to force military service and you know they would do it for people to retain any rights (if that)

Why always the obsession with “skin in the game”? Rick Scott had this too when he wanted to raise taxes on poor people. That somehow because people are coerced into service or paying money they don’t have they’ll care more about the country. We live here. We already have “skin in the game”.

Until 2017 immigrants who enlisted in the US military were fast tracked to citizenship. Seems like a more reasonable solution to low enlistment than making it mandatory for everyone.

To be fair, Republicans bring this up every few years. It would be weirder if they DIDN'T suggest it. Naturally GOP ghouls only ever consider the military instead for service, and not options like Peace Corps or AmeriCorps.

This is going to bite them in the ass HARD. The moment this mandatory service means more dead people in wars is the moment the normally insulated middle class feels material loss from these assholes decisions, which is why the anti-VN war movement caught on as much as it did.
