It’s not about doing the right thing at that point, though, that’s kinda my point, it’s self-preservation. Look at the Vietnam draft and how that went, and realize that the majority supported the Vietnam war until after 8 years in - we’re only a few WEEKS into the Iran war and it’s already vastly unpopular, especially with young people - who would be the people drafted. Keep in mind as well, that historically it’s young people who are most likely to participate in civil unrest.
I honestly believe that if Trump imposed a draft for the Iran war, it would spell the end of his presidency, and possibly his life.
I totally get why you’d feel that way, and I’m right there with you. Something has got to change, hopefully with a minimum amount of suffering for everyone involved.

Yeah look, I’m sorry, but I don’t share your view.
I hope you’re right and he tries it. Anything really because fuck the rest of us are sick of it and we are losing patience.

Except for Trump, of course. Fuck Trump.
