You idiot, I was talking about if there was a draft. Yeah, as of now, they lure people in with benefits that only sounds good for people who don't have better options.

Anyways, funny how liberals have been all anti-nationalism saying it's xenophobic to be patriotic and love your country, even trying to say being patriotic is being a terrorists, and now they can't meet recruiting goals. Talking about trans-gender soldiers, just LOL... you can't win a war with that!

For the record, I am a leftist, not a liberal. And I have always been antinationalist. The whole woke military thing is a tactic known as pinkwashing. It's normal to love your country. It's not normal to make sacred a flag or adopt a nationalist mythology that deifies founders and erases their atrocities. It's not normal to take excessive pride in your country and be ignorant of others and demonize them.

The US is currently assisting in mass ethnic cleansing and possibly genocide. To actively condone this is to literally condone state terrorism.

The US military clothes itself in woke bullchit to conceal its imperialism and blood soaked history.

What's really crazy is that the war was already over here, and pushing kids into a pointless war led to a successful anti-government/anti-establishment movement.

Just look around today.

Communist subversion won and it didn't require a single boot on the ground here.

It's pretty funny how a lot of MAGA rhetoric sounds vaguely Marxist. I have faith you will all see the light.

You're Russian so you don't know how it works. Here in America, you have to sign up for Selective Services or you go to jail. They have your birthday and everything. They send you a letter if you are chosen. If you dodge, they come and arrest you. You could skip town, but there would be a warrant out for you. Technically, you could just avoid ever being registered (many states register you automatically if you get a drivers' license), but you'd never be allowed any state benefits, student loans, etc. I think you can still get social security and medicare though.

I tried the link.
It states I would have been #346.
Although, for some reason, I'm not real clear on what that actually means.

It means that out of 366 birthdays yours was chosen 346th. The further down the list you were the less likely you were to be given an M16 and sent off to go kill Charlie.

Your draft number 147 was called in 1970.

If your birthday was just 1 day earlier, your draft number would not have been called

Not called.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
