re: #53 lawhawk
Captain Bone Spurs, who fought his personal Vietnam in Studio 54, wants to conscript undesirables and POC into the military (and his base for that matter) so that he disappears them from the picture.
The military got rid of the draft for a reason. This would bring back all of the problems of a conscription force, including the cost of having to train people who don’t want to be there.
It’s no coincidence that the Tories are also trying to ram through a “mandatory service” law in Britain. I’m increasingly convinced that the global far right is coordinating all of these fascist moves we’re seeing.
