      I’ve never been happier to be 37.

      Draft age changes throughout history, but the latest I found was 45 during WWI, and 37 during WWII. https://www.the-sun.com/news/4762385/maximum-age-for-us-military-draft/

      If you’re young, left-leaning and able-bodied, leave the fucking United States. If you can’t, then waste as much of our Military’s time and money as possible while deployed. You’ll be among friends who all don’t want to be there either.

      I don’t know what trench I’ll end up in if I get drafted. Greenland? Canada? Panama? Iran?

      If I have to bludgeon you to death for the last tin of beans in a radioactive wasteland, its nothing personal.

      Fuck Israel and all, but Iran is far too weak to retaliate in a meaningful way and start ww3

        Yeah, cause governments tend to implode when the countries arch enemy attacks them…

        Hamas hasn’t even imploded, and the people have way more reason to blame them for their current situation than the Iranians can blame their government for pursuing a nuclear program that most of the country agreed with.

        No matter how unpopular a government is there, they’re still going to be more popular than Israel, and people will rally around any flag to fight their flagrant aggression.

          The Iranian protests against their Supreme Leader dwarfed the Gazan protests against Hamas.

          The dynamics are way different.
