Sounds like a draft is being planned for the occupation of Iran, aka Vietnam v.4

    Idiots. You are all fucking idiots. Yes, you; from OP to every single person in the comments. All of you are too fucking stupid to spend even 30 seconds reading past the most bullshit, click-bait, headline of all time.

    No one is talking about reinstating the draft. No one is talking about specifically excluding Barron Trump. Do you dumb fucks want to know what this article is actually about?

    IF the draft DID get reinstated (despite literally no one considering it), Barron Trump MIGHT get exempt because he TECHNICALLY falls outside the maximum height requirements (no special treatment, just the actual limits already defined and laid out).

    That’s it. That’s fucking it. No nepotism. No potential draft. Just complete made up horseshit. It’s like saying “If we made drinking milk mandatory for people who are younger than 18, Baron Trump might be excluded because he’s older than 18.” Like, no fucking shit. That’s not a news story, its like a hypothetical a child would come up with.

    All of you need to go look in a fucking mirror and rethink your media literacy, because it’s fucking garbage. You fucking idiots.

      Yeah, just like Trump had bone spurs…

      I question him being 6’9. Very conveniently just barely above the maximum of 6’8. I bet some independent doctor would measure him as 6’8 or less. So fuck you for defending some rich nepo fuck.

      They seem to be cleverly letting everyone know that he’s just barely too tall to get drafted, so that when they do the drafting eventually, no one will question why he wasn’t drafted. Clever. Better than paying a doctor to diagnose you with bone spurs.

        The outrage might be a little over the top, but the sentiment is valid. Click baity shit like this is why no one pays attention to the actual outages going on.

        If people are constantly seeing articles like ‘Trump didn’t say he would rule out pushing toddlers into wood chippers to combat climate change’ and the article goes on to talk about how he was asked about what he had for breakfast, then outrage is a little hard to keep up. I actually think that’s the worst/best tactic trump has used… Keep the outage going so steadily that people are worn out when the real stuff is out in the headlines.

          This sounds a little to close to “when they go low, we go high”. If the mainstream media had been willing to vilify Trump back in 2016 (even with lies of omission and sensational headlines), maybe he would have never gotten near the GOPedo nomination. Instead we have been fed a steady diet of civility and normalization.

          Uhh it was completely over the top rant. Thank God we have people willing to defend this level of hostility. Have you ever thought of joining the State Department?

            Oh yes, and thank God we are talking about a completely made up scenario of Barron Trump getting drafted instead of unimportant things like the war itself or the Epstein files. Wouldn’t want pesky things like that getting in the way of manufactured outrage for dumb shits like you to lap up.

            Oh I know! Let’s follow it up with an article about how MAGA is totally about to turn on Trump! Or maybe an AI generated image of Trump yelling at Hegseth? Oh I bet he’s big mad about that one! Who cares about reality as long as it sounds good and reinforces the pathetic-ass beliefs of the idiotic masses?!

              I am sure you give all this outrage to conservative leaning posts and this isn’t just a veiled attack on perceived ideological differences. Because frankly, I am not buying it and you are either an epic asshole or a conservative troll. Cheers!

                Valid criticism of stupidity that goes against the hive mind message? Must be a conservative! Definitely not someone who’s fed up with people, supposedly against misinformation, continuously falling for the dumbest shit imaginable!

                    How? Please spell it out. And remember, calling out idiots is not a conservative trait. Getting upset at idiots is not a conservative trait. Blindly accusing people who don’t say things you like of being conservative because you just can’t fathom the possibility of someone not blindly believing and supporting fake bullshit IS a trait of a fucking idiot.

        Seems to exist all over Lemmy. I’m new around here, migrated from Reddit just a week ago, but this kind of post would get downvoted into nothingness over there. Not for the message, obviously, but for the self-righteous indignation, the name calling, for just being one big spoiled brat temper tantrum. So far, it’s the only thing I miss.

          At least they don’t bleed in the form of transistor discharges. I’ll take my tempered fellow over the swarm, any day.

      Bullshit. you are obviously either a bot or some partisan hack. Fuck Barron Trump. He is a rich boy. Rich boys don’t get drafted. He is also some kind of freak. He would never be admitted to a military academy… unless of course they are directed by a Hegseth (MORON).

      I’d be surprised if the military wouldn’t give him a waiver for being in inch too tall. Im thinking you don’t have much military experience yourself.

      Go piss in the wind moron and I do not give a shit about the article. You’re current leadership is on the same fucked up level as the fucking Nazis who completely failed to understand military strategy and ignored the advice from their best military officers. If the orange clown becomes desperate, because he does not have a fucking plan. he will institute the fucking draft. The US military does have enough boots to occupy and police Iran. Thankfully, the EU leaders will not send their best young people into a shit show created by a bunch of chauvinistic, racist, religious fucknuts and pedophile losers. The USA and Israel are their own and your ass better sign the dotted line or if you are a former soldier, reenlist. I already have my honorable discharge and it blows my mind the USA is repeating history under shittier circumstances and planning.

        Right, you think he would not institute a draft? Why wouldn’t he? I mean they purged the military of the women, the Trans, the Gays… so who else is left? The fucking far right angry men who can’t get women to like them enough to have sex with them. Watch out Fuentes… Watch our Enrique… they are coming for you!
