    Welcome to the lemmy rage of downvoting just to downvote.

    The US wasn’t always carrots. Draft dodging was taken pretty seriously in the past. Most people don’t realize we use to draft on a regular basis even when we were not at war. That’s how a lot of young men learned their job trade.

    I get why prior avoided the Vietnam war. In my youth I would gave went. Now that I’m 50 I would have questioned the war heavily.

      You called people unreliable citizens for… Not wanting to die in a war created by those who will never serve in it. I don’t want to fight nor die for arbitrary borders on the whim of whoever is in charge. Killing someone because you were forced to is disgusting.

      Lol, 50 year old who will never have to serve on the frontlines criticizing others for not dying in a war.

      I would say you’ll understand when you get older, but I think it’s too late for that.

      You’re literally the person that will be sitting back, nice and cozy, while others are out there getting shot and choking on their own blood.

        I spent many years in the military and was deployed many times over the years. So, I am not sure why you are making a false personal attack.

        I am literally one of the people who would be deployed first just like in the previous conflicts.
