Do we really have enough men/women in the military?

If he decides to start WWIII and pushes his nuclear button, Russia and China will retaliate by pushing their buttons, and then the question will be moot.

Taking over Greenland would not necessitate a draft. The total population of massive Greenland is about 60,000--many of whom are older and unlikely to engage as soldiers in battle.

Greenland's leaders have made clear that more US military bases would be welcome in Greenland. Why isn't the President taking action to do so for this strategically important location ?

Pp you responded to

Greenland has long been a friendly, cooperative ally. If Trump had asked to expand the base we already have in Greenland, and/or increase their number, I think it would have probably been relatively easy (in terms international relations, with each party having their own bureaucracies and interests) arrange.

On the other hand, a country who gas been threatened with forcible annexation, might not welcome increased military presence in their country by the country that is threatening them.

Sure, we could easily conquer Greenland. We could send in land troops, an army of drones, etc. However, Greenland is not fully independent, but part of Denmark. Granted, we could conquer Denmark, as well, but it is part of NATO, which means that the rest of NATO would be committed to coming to the defense of Denmark (including NATO).

In a war against Panama, Canada, and the rest of the NATO alliance, I think we might need a draft.

Yes we need a draft come on down all white christian males maga you send your boys first.

Because Trump and Petey said "no minorities"

Yep Project 2015 even has a whole section on the "White Army/Special forces"

With the economy in shambles, and college graduates not being able to find jobs, and abortion being restricted so there are more neglected and unwanted children... guess who's always hiring?

We're not going to need a draft.

You wouldn't need to invade that place to conquer it. Simply wall it off militarily speaking. It's a failed state in collapse, a full on example of the failures of socialism, once again.

Most Greenlanders voted to join the US as a "territory" not a state. So that should be done first, to help ease the red tape of the base building.

What are you talking about?

I can’t find any such vote. All the results I can find indicate that Greenlanders overwhelmingly reject the idea of becoming part of the US in any fashion, whether as a territory, state, or other.

Please provide a link about the vote you are referencing.

They do not need to become a territory to build more bases. Do you have any idea how many we have built in Poland and Romania as of late? I am at a NATO base now, and if the US tried to make Greenland a territory, it would be a hostile act against Denmark.

I heartily dislike people like you, OP, criticizing others without suggesting ways to make the job more palatable.

Are we planning a war that nobody told me about?

Yes, we have enough. Unless Putin goes for the rest of Europe. Hopefully he's not insane.

We're not, but Israel is, and we always fight Israel's wars for them.

Given how fat, criminal, and illiterate American youth is, its incredible that we are meeting recruitment goals.

No one should be entering the military right now with clown car alcoholic Pete and Trump.

Wrong most people want to work you moron. Go back to the stupid hole you climbed out of MAGA.

At least now they don’t have to risk being sent to New Guinea to battle cannibals to retrieve the remains of Uncle Bozie.

We do have plenty of people who have “volubteered” and I would sooner die than feed my DC into the war machine.

A few “liberals” I know bluster that for the sake of equality we should expand the selective service to women. Not THEIR daughters, who are destined for the best SLACs. And none have parents who served. Those of us who have, feel differently. My father talked my male cousins out of enlisting after 9/11 but before Fallujah. They are lucky they listened.
