  • They would refuse to go and want to know, what's in it for me. If they went they would give away their position and information by using their cell phones

    Countries that don't have a mandatory military service requirement like USA would have to re-enact their draft. Of course that will cause a big problem with gender issues.

    Left up to the liberals, the military forces around the world would be made up of, conservatives, anti vaxers, and any other undesirables they can think of. And they say slavery is bad, the liberals would make anyone who disagrees with them slaves in a heartbeat.

    I can see the justification now. Well they believe Jesus will save them, they already have guns and know how to shoot, they are endangering all of us vaccinated people, they're Trump supporters, they don't believe in killing babies and are protective of women. Who better can we enslave (sorry), draft to fight and die for all of us! Lol.

    • I think these far left liberals are a minority. Atleast here in the US. They just scream the loudest. But if a bad recession hit then they would be forced to drop the gender hysteria because they would have real problems like not having food.

      • According to your president, and Congress, they think you need to go farther left to please the USA people.

        As far as my post the first 2 paragraphs were talking about the younger generation in general world wide and a new major multi country war.

        The last 2 paragraphs are more about how liberals especially those in leadership positions(like in the USA) would prepare, or try to prepare, for a military needed for a major war.

        I agree about the recession and I don't think we are far from a world wide major recession. Recessions and depressions change a lot of views and the ways people think and live.

        Personally I think a major long term electrical failure/outage would have as many, if not more deaths associated with it as the current pandemic.
        So many things controlled by electronics, and people don't know how to live without air-conditioning or their electronics.

        I'm not sure the current young generation (s) will ever really amount to much but I have great hope for their children. Children have a tendency to rebell against their parents ideas and go in an opposite or different direction. Let's just hope the world isn't destroyed before they get their chance.

        That being said, I hear myself talking and I sound like my grandparents or parents and what they said in years gone by, about the youth behind them.

        Maybe children and youth just seem like aliens once you hit your later years. Lol!

        • I know I feel like a boomer as well. I sound just like my parents. But I think this generation is the craziest generation in the last few hundred years atleast. You'd have to go back to the times where they burnt witches at the stake to find ppl so crazy.

    • Lets be honest the conservatives couldn't function on their own in reality. They hate change so much so that if you had an idea that doesn't line up with their Christian values they would turn in a quick second. As for money issues you had a chance with George w bush jr and trump both times ya failed hell with trump you somehow made things worse. For fuck sakes when bush came into office we had a surplus of money that we haven't seen in a long time which I might add was thanks to a democrat oof that stings doesn't it? Well lets get the pain train going when Republicans got control with bush jr we suddenly went from having a surplus of money to being in huge debt how the hell did that happen? No you wanna know the truth you Republicans need the Democrats you know why? Because Republicans can't think on their own much less function all they know how to do is fight but Democrats on the other hand actually think they use their brains but they lack power thats where the Republicans come in you need both parties to work together once you do that this country has no problems.

      • I thought this question was about, "this generation" and I didn't realize we were just talking about the USA.

        I'll bite though, if you want to go 'in the past' about US politics. The last time you had an administration that didn't divide the country especially over domestic issues like race, guns, gender, was the 12 years of the Reagan administration (includes Bush Sr.).

        Look it up Clinton was the start of bringing racial issues back up to the front burner, (it was a pretty calm issue from mid 70s to mid 90s) as well as gender and sexual issues. Guns and abortion have been hot push button issues for decades. Clinton was also first in recent years to use your military as a social experiment and to actually get the impeachment process back to an active status.

        You bring up his budget surplus, a lot would say he did that by ignoring internation affairs, by making rules to grow the economy that the negitive effect wouldn't be felt for six to eight years, well after he left office.

        The housing bubble was a direct result of his policies. I lived in the US when he made the statement 'everybody needs to be able to buy a home make it happen'. That brought all the creative financing tricks and started a housing boom that was to come crashing down in mid 2000s.

        I agree it's nice and everybody needs a place to live, but my ex can't pay for a 6 pack of beer if it's more than three days after payday. Some people have no money sense nor can they read a contract and understand in year three the payment doubles or year five you have a balloon payment.

        No, the current political disaster that the media and Socialist Democrats now want everybody to refer to, as a failed experiment in democracy., Was started down the path of destruction by the lefts political savior Mrs. Clinton and her husband.

        Defend them all you want but believe me impeachment seldom was brought up in the 50 years prior. The threat was enough for Nixon to resign because back then, 'they' the politicians understood politics change hands and you may get your way this year but payback is a bitch.

        The stuff some presidents did, from at least FDR on would have started the grid lock in politics a 100 years ago. If they did impeachment everytime the other party disagrees or didn't get their way.

        You're right one can't live without the other it's a game they play with the people. Otherwise they wouldn't try to change things that 60 to 70 percent of the people don't agree with, and they would table the hot button issues for a minimum of ten years. Once addressed voted on and passed or defeated by 60+ percent. Maybe they could move on to things that are actually needed.

        But no, career politicians want to argue the same points over and over at least every two years.

        • "the politicians understood politics change hands and you may get your way this year but payback is a bitch" this is so true. Colbert had an interview with Elizabeth Warren the other day where they actually entertained the idea of getting rid of the senate because of Manchen shooting down the build back better plan and they said "the senate slows down democracy". Do they not have any idea anymore that power changes hands and if the senate was gone they would also be negatively effected? Some of the decisions they want to make will come back and hurt them badly.

      • I think both republicans and democrats are a problem. Both spend too much money. They're all crooked. I disagree with you on Trump but I do think Bush was a very bad president. Trump, Biden, and Obama have spent way too much money. I am happy that Trump set a anti war narrative for conservatives now. Before Trump republicans seemed to be war mongerers. I do usually vote for republicans or dont vote because I see republicans as generally the lesser evil. Im pro capitalism I do well for myself financially and I dont want high taxes like europe
