Every generation prior to me had some degree of military service; I knew damn well, early on in life, that i would not join under any circumstances. I’ve seen how this country treats veterans; I’ve worked most of my adult life alongside active duty and retirees (contractors and federal employees alike).
Idiot aimed for the head like it was a video game. Everyone who went through basic knows you aim for the torso, even if they’re wearing body armor, to make sure you get the best chance of hitting.
Thankfully I’m too old to be drafted. 32 as of writing this, if it had happened when I was younger I probably would’ve tried to get out of it, different ways though since I was so stubborn and I didn’t end up realizing I’m trans until I was 26, almost 27.
If the shit hits the fan they’ll draft up to 55. They drafted to 45 for World War 2 and had authority to go to 65. The only reason Vietnam stayed young is the limited engagement area could only fit so many people.
They’ll be drafted, still, as their birth gender. Forced to live their dead gender while actually dying for their corporate overlords.
The day I get drafted is the day I go underground.

I think most of them would prefer prison
Where we will be put into prisons that are full of criminals too violent to draft.
Id rather frag my superior.
Someone tried that in Pennsylvania and missed

I guess those different ways might come in handy after all then.
US army, as of today, accepts anyone between the ages of 17 and 35.
