The best way to train for war is to train the men for years and prepare for all angles from
Your enemy. Iran had over 20 years to prepare since the Bush Axis of Evil Speech in 2002. We invaded its neighbors Iraq and Afghanistan and they probably received intel on how US operations work by using an Iraqi Shiite spy or two. Even if we did a draft, we would be collecting boys who were playing PlayStation in their pajamas six months ago. They have no heart or morale for the war. It’s a draft mandate. We are cooked as the kids say. |
Iran was training every single kid to fight in wars, and they didn't have their own large portion of PlayStation playing boys? I am not buying it I think you are way overfluffing their competence. Iran isn't immune from their own internal problems, hello, recent protests where 10s of thousands were killed in a matter of days.
Also, we had incentivized kids to go into the military for decades with various tax incentives, freebies and pensions. Army has been an attractive choice for a lot of young men/women who wanted to get ahead. Since we aren't always at war where ground troops are deployed, many of the kids who chose military or at least wanted to serve for certain benefits had not been put into risky situations, which made service even more attractive. Our military industrial complex is on a different level today than what it was during the Vietnam War. And we had "imported" millions of military age men through our open borders in the last few years alone who are afraid of deportations and would jump at an opportunity to join military and get citizenship path through military service. I know, it's not PC to talk about it, but use logic.. Before grabbing college boys and mama's basement boys who would fall apart in the first few days of service, while enticing massive protests and riots, there are many other channels to explore. Plus, on a non-PC note, we have a lot of undocumented young men who crossed the border and are afraid of deportations and want a path to citizenship. I am guessing that before civilian draft is proposed, there will be a proposal of "rehabilitation" through military service allowing many younger migrants to stay in the country legally. I know it's scary to think our sons can be drafted, but on a more reasonable note, It's not that likely |
there are all sorts of non-citizen US veterans who have been deported by this administration. why would any of them volunteer now? |
Hamas did not honor ceasefires. Don't need to exaggerate to prove other people in the wrong. |
You would trust a poor soul who spent months in an ice detention facility stuffed like an animal in a cage to defend the United States? I would be helping the Iranians if I were separated from my family and left to rot in a medieval cage. |
What benefits? 50 year mortgage? Healthcare that sucks? Bachelors degree that’s worthless? There are so many problems our money should be fixing right here at home instead of wasting it on a pointless war |
| The Israelis get free housing settlements, healthcare, and college off our dime while Americans have to get a limb blown off or die trying to not even get these things for free but discounted at 3% or 5%. Wake up sheeple |
| American Jews don’t even get the same privileges as Israelis. They get scammed by them as well via donations. |
Hmm. Talk about deception ^^. Iran is a designated terror state that uses its proxies to commit terrorist attacks all over the world. Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, etc are all funded, trained, and armed by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to advance Tehran's regional agenda. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/state-sponsor-of-terror-the-global-threat-of-iran/ https://www.congress.gov/event/115th-congress/house-event/108155/text https://www.state.gov/state-sponsors-of-terrorism |
Provide a source. |

Former U.S. Counterterrorism Director Joe Kent:
“We took down Iraq’s Saddam — for Israel.” “Then we went after Syria’s Assad — for Israel.” “Now comes the third phase — we’re going into Iran to take down a strong government for Israel" But it doesn't just end there. Then we have to worry about turkey, Pakistan , and Yemen. So how many more years fighting endless wars for israel? |
You saw it “somewhere,” copied it verbatim, yet can’t provide the source? How typical. I think we can all guess where you found that little piece of propaganda. |
And yet: Gulf Arab states are telling the U.S. that any deal with Tehran should do more than end the war, and must permanently curb Iran's missile and drone capabilities and ensure global energy supplies are never again "weaponised", four Gulf sources said. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/gulf-states-tell-us-ending-war-is-not-enough-irans-capabilities-must-be-degraded-2026-03-27/ |
So what is the source for the above claim? DP |
