Gen Z Refuses The Military Draft
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лис 2023
- After an AI video of Joe Biden enacting the military draft went viral, a greater conversation began about how a draft would look for our generation today. Gen Z has made it clear that they'll refuse the draft at all costs, including the liberals who support foreign interventions. Even the feminists online have backpedaled on their stances when the draft is brought up. What would ultimately happen to this generation if the government tried to enact the draft?

I’m in the military right now and I don’t blame anyone who is refusing to get drafted this country has lost almost everyone’s trust with politics and lies. I’ll protect my family from home.
the thing is, the same whiny bitches complaining about a draft are the reason we're in this mess for voting for these democrats...
what better way to teach them humility than require them to serve the vegetable in chief that they voted for?
I served 6 years with 2 tours in Iraq. I agree with what your saying. But it really comes down to this. We either fight for what we have “though imperfect” or we see what happens if we don’t. I don’t think we will like the latter of the 2 options.
@@lowtriggerweightjay7331I like that. Well said.
@@lowtriggerweightjay7331Appreciate you for this perspective yo!
Naw they voted for it so now they gots to see it through my boi.
I served for 20 years in the Air Force and am at least the 3rd, if not 4th generation of my family to serve in the military. I will do everything I can to dissuade my son from serving because our country has broken trust with our military. Ever since Nixon eliminated the draft, the number of lawmakers who either served themselves or at least had family members who served has steadily diminished. We now have a caste of policy makers who have no connection to the caste of soldiers who are sent to fight foreign wars and have no skin in the game. They commit our blood and treasure with no remorse because they will never suffer the consequences.
The alternative is obvious, which aligns in our Declaration of Independence.
We don't have a caste system in the US...or do we? I think you put your finger on something very important. We may not call it a caste, but there is a segment of our population that thinks they are too good for manual labor let alone going to war.
It's sad my grandpa fought in the Vietnam War in the Army retired as a e8 rank he topped out as a first Sargent my dad and the rest of my family served too but if the Government is unstable for covering citizens I don't wanna risk my life then have No one to help my family
Lol the Chair force. A job where you sit down for 98% of your career
I am an USAF Veteran as well that retired in 2007, and friends have asked if their Kids should join the Military for things like the G.I. Bill to help with College, and since Obama's Presidency I have been telling them HELL NO. I saw how the Country was headed even back then, and it has gotten even worse than I thought it would have became.
True freedom means not letting our government treat us like dogs
As a doormat, I'm more treated by normal people
And the dogs were devoured by the bear.
Your freedoms were fought for by the blood of soldiers. That’s a fact
I mean, if a draft is genuinely needed and we don’t answer, then any country with a motivated leader like Stalin or hitler would come and bomb the world into submission and we wouldn’t be able to do anything because nobody even went to the army to be trained with a firearm and battle situations. Every continent except probably Africa, and Asia would be under dictatorship
This government is like a deadbeat dad, If I want to fight for it then perhaps they should make me want to fight for it.
The miliary is like a fan... If you stand in front, it will blow you away. Stand beside it, ant it will do absolutely nothing. But stand behind it, IT SUCKS!
To all the Veterans who served Thank You on this Veterans Day!
Who cares . people dying for politicians
i'm not thanking anybody because we have no idea who was being good when they were in other countries.
Lol they kill women and children. America always targeting women and children. Baby killers get no respect. They military men join the army to get benefits. Not to serve their country.
You’re welcome, citizen.😂🫡
@@thispersonrighthere9024I did public relations in the Balkans; was not in my job description, but it was pretty peaceful.
Tried to join when i was 18 but got rejected (metal rods in my leg). Two of my closest friends are Marine veterans that served in Afghanistan and told me that i lucked out. They tell me one of the biggest regret they made was joining, lifelong injuries, loss of friends in combat and ptsd. One is going through a divorce because of said ptsd. I call him every now and then because of him "joking" about suicide one time just yo check on him.
And our nation should be supporting these veterans. If they do not that is a failure of our government of the highest order and I know they are failing and they speak of withdrawing even more benefits which disgusts me. These elected elite who most have never served anything but themselves.
Nah you're thinking about this all wrong, go along with it, get the training in all the high speed combat shit and then when it comes to actually get deployed just disappear. Let them spend the half a million it's going to take to track you down. You're going to prison either way, at least make them earn it and get something out of it
No, as the video said, the government knows how to find you. It won't take $10 to find out exactly where you are. This isn't 1945, '55, or '65.
Had the same problem. I’m 4F. Tried going into the army and air force after high school and both said no. I’ve got metal pins in both feet
Just replace human soldier with the T 800 , T 1000 Terminator series 😂 they never complain and can end the war fast , Brutally and easy 😊
Why would I fight to enrich people who hate me?
Man, are you a spoiled brat. How do you think you got your freedoms?
My husband was a drill sgt last year. They literally get their phones all the time. They are children. They can not function and even the younger drills didn’t like my husband because he was like “ why aren’t you working? they are here to get trained, go train them” and the soldiers who didn’t like him just didn’t want to be told what to do.
No, it depends on the company. We didn't have a phones the entire time. Generalizing is just stupid.
your husband sound like a f****** as**ole lol
Hahaha that story sounds like one sided straight up BS
It’s not I am getting a bunch of soldiers in, that all had phones during basic.
A draft is the worst idea in the world. I am a 54-year-old vet. I was in when many of the Vietnam vets were senior officers and NCOs. The Vietnam War showed how the draft was counterproductive to the success of the military. They can offer incentives to volunteer, like sign-on bonuses, and get a much higher quality of recruit.
Not even that's helping the woke Army. They are failing recruitments.
They haven't paid out a bunch of bonuses to some enlisted. Kinda hard when the govt is broke.
Thank you for your service. I am also 54. When I was a child I noticed none of the teachers would discuss the Vietnam War in secondary school. Ironically, it made me tremendously curious. So, I started reading books about it. The first I read was "Nam" by Mark Baker. If one wants to read first-hand accounts about problems with the draft and issues in military combat - that definitely is a good one to read. One of the narrators talked about how some of the "grunts" were drafted in such a way that they either had to go to jail or join the military as ordered by a judge for some crime they committed. Another Veteran narrated about his issues with extreme illness that he blamed on his exposure to Agent Orange. That ultimately led to my research on chemical defoliants for public health in graduate school. Over decades, I read many books, scientific journals, periodicals, articles, etc. I spoke to Vietnam Veterans out in the construction labor sites or when I worked with BIA Forestry. Some of them were suffering from PTSD into late middle age.
I know the draft ended and led to the "All-Volunteer" force for my Generation X of the 1980s. In 1986, my HS football team of rural AZ went to Miramar Naval Base for a 3-day football camp. The whole team was excited because the movie "Top Gun" had come out that summer and was wildly popular among 1980s teens. A lot of us also had older relatives who had served in the US Navy or USMC during WWII or Vietnam or Korea. We were excited to see the naval base. After morning practice, we toured the base, the naval ships, and the USMC boot camp near the San Diego airport. I saw the training where the marines had to traverse by hand on a cable high up over a moat. I'll never forget the unflinching "stand-at-attention" of the marines waiting their turn while the guys traversing were high up with tests on upper body strength. They recruited many of us, and some marines spoke to us individually. I told them I was going to Notre Dame from which I later graduated.
But I had some teammates join the USMC. One of them died during the buildup to the first Persian Gulf War in 1991 in Saudi Arabia. The small, rural community of AZ was in deep shock and mourning over that. The USMC chopper flew his body back to the Apache Reservation and landed it near his home by a rodeo ground. Years later, I had a dream about Mike in his USMC uniform. He was standing in his house and his spirit went through the rooms while his surviving parents and sister slept and said "I want to see my family". I woke up in agony. RIP Mike Noline - USMC Semper Fi (Class of 1988).
War can be hell. I hope there isn't another worldwide conflict that necessitates a draft. Despite all the negative accolades, I think there is one area where Generation Z can excel in modern combat - cyber warfare via the internet, cyberhacking, cybsersurveillance, jamming, hacking hardware/software systems like satellites, flight recorders from downed aircraft, etc. Generation Z is very tech savvy.
The idea of the draft is not to use it for funsies lol
Or when recruitment is low
It’s supposed to be used for global catastrophic conflict.
The other option is conceding your home/country/freedom
These clowns of course say this but when push comes to shove you must. Must answer the call to service
Wars are nothing more than money laundering and sending dissidents to die. The left marked themselves for this one, 😂. Send em all
That guy is correct; they don't want him to fight for his country.
They want him to die for his country.
'Governments call sending other people's children to war 'courage' and spending other people's money 'generosity'.' - Joseph Sobran (paraphrase)
That isn't the intent when sending soldiers to fight at all. You don't send them to die, you send them to defeat the enemy. You have to take the risk in knowing some of your men will die, but that is not the goal.
To facilitate that, soldiers need to be trained and equipped beyond their competition, given valuable intelligence about what they're walking into, and given a clear goal in mind as to what they need to do. It's in those needs that militaries have failed.
That said, what the American military needs is people who WANT to be there, not those forced against their will. It also needs to rebuild the people's trust by having more effectual leaders behind it.
We don't need to fight every war, and we don't need to fight for resources. We need to fight to defend, something the military hasn't done in a long while.
@@OlympusPublicAffairs I agree in part. I don't think anyone has ever gone to war intending to lose
However, when it comes to soldiers, I think there is a well established practice of having a large group less well trained soldiers (or even completely untrained soldiers or conscripts) present on the field to draw the enemy's attention while your better prepared, more professional troops do the heavy lifting. I believe it was Napoleon who invented the term 'cannon fodder', or at least it was invented in his day.
I love that quote, thank you! adding it to my list
@@OlympusPublicAffairsand AFTER SERVING AMERICA HAS DONE A POOR JOB TREATING VETERANS WITH PTSD DEPRESSION AND LOST LIMBS CMON WHO WOULD WANT TO SERVE IF HALF OF VETERANS ARE HOMELESS AND OUT OF THE STREETS?!
@@skywolfc2040 I agree also cannon fodders nowadays would probably not going to work. It worked before due to how slow guns reload. But now, if you throw people in a war as meat shields, you would be lucky if they buy a minute.
But I do think being "drafted" doesn't mean that you go to the battle without knowledge but rather you're forced to do military training for a few months (maybe a few years) before being sent to the battlefield.
Honestly, I'm grateful that I learned to adopt the ideal: "Don't believe everything you see or hear until you research it and build an opinion on it and take in other opinions". Since I'm a Gen-Z and I've read up on wars, I remained unbiased and I want to see the good and truth while waiting for the lies to be exposed like a chess player predicting their enemy's next move.

@@imjustapotatoleavemealone that makes me happy too.
We should draft all LGBTQ+ people in the military like during WWII the good ol days. To make the most powerful military.
There was a story that went around the military base (Campbell) from before my husband was serving about a disheveled man who came out of the woods and walked up to the gate in the mid-2000s.
He put his arms up and said “I surrender! I’m sorry. I can’t do it anymore”
The gate guards were obviously confused. They asked him if he needed psychiatric services.
No! He was a man who was formally drafted for Vietnam and had been hiding in the woods for 30 years and was tired of it.
The military didn’t arrest him. They were impressed and gave him the help and services he needed. They told him the war was over a long time ago and that he would be taken care of. Poor man.
Damn that’s crazy lol
Sounds a lot like those Japanese guys who kept fighting WW2 on a few islands in the Pacific until the 1980's and didn't stop until the Japanese military found their old commanding officers and sent them to those islands to relieve them.
I doubt anything like that would happen in today's world if a draft happened, gen z has such low attention spans and motivation that they'd get bored too quick (i'm gen z sadly). If I had the option I think I'd honestly enlist to get that experience under my belt, but I'm in wheelchair sadly due to muscular dystrophy
@@robertoduran3963true honesty, the only reason I’d probably join is to get fit from boot camp
Man that's actually so sad. I'm glad he got help though.
Real shit if I got a draft letter is laugh and wait to be imprisoned or killed
I would just research on conditions or injuries preventing you from joining and either falsify or self-inflict. I'm not depriving my (future) children of a father for years just because some broken government wants me to fight while they stay home and get richer
I’m not fighting in a war
What you will do during an invasion than?
@@Antbrat4.0 good point but idk
@@Antbrat4.0 *then
My marine friend was a marine for 5 years and he said if he had to do it again , he said no. He said the military has become a literal money fire with the waste it has. He overall has become disillusioned with the state of America where the government is more worried about filling it's pockets than protecting his freedoms. I think my generation has just become disillusioned with what is the actual purpose of the military, is it to protect from invaders or to just constantly play world police for most countries people can't pronounce. Left or right no one wants to budget to decrease for our military and balance the budget and end this endless cycle of printing money and inflation.
Simply put the government bureaucracy needs to get out of the military.
If he is ordered there is no choice.
Well, it's not like this govt cares about the people anymore. Border is wide open, so the fight will eventually come to the homeland.
what is the actual purpose of the military?
to protect jewish interests at all costs
Then no one will remebr your name.
The problem with forced draft:
>Forces you to towards something that can and very likely will make you lose everything
>Then arms you so you can do the thing you don't want to do for the people who forced you against your will
Not a great plan.
Don't forget that the military isn't for everyone, there are people that simply won't meet the physical standards or just won't resist all the mental pressure from DIs. I at one point wanted to join but honestly I see now it's not worth dying for politicians that don't give a damn about my life

I remember playing a joke a year ago on my coworkers about women being drafted in the US. I was the only guy among my colleagues, so the women often teamed up on me in conversations. They lost their shit upon thinking my joke was real. I only did it because I got sick of hearing them whine about the patriarchy and oppression. They couldn't provide a clear answer about equality between men and women after this, so they went back to trying to lecture about Andrew Tate.

I am retired military,. Went to U.S. Marine Bootcamp in 1987, and I retired from active duty in 2013. I deployed 4 more times as a Contractor for a total of SEVEN FREAKIN DEPLOYMENTS. MY last was in North Syria in 2019 at age 50. I've served this country all of my adult life. Our politicians have abandoned our country. ALL OF EM! Republicans and Democrats combined. Our politicians have made a joke of our military now after taking advantage of our patriotism to wreak havoc on the world with our Industrial WAR Machine called Military contracting profits. I wanted to fight terrorists, I did. I wanted to defend our country and keep it safe. But when profits are what makes decisions? We have a big freakin foul. I would NOT join the Military today nor would I let my family join or serve. Let the draft come back. Let the woke go fight, bleed and die. And we NEEEEED more military men coming back and running for political office as INDEPENDENTS who promise and swear to never become corrupt. THE RNC and there DNC are both owned by foreign countries and global business bastards who are raping this country of its values, morals, money, and our country's original Noble Purpose... which was to be the peacekeepers of the world and to help people. Vote against a modern day politician.. vote for new people, and vote for prior military who PROMISE AND SWEAR to not become corrupt.
I’m from the UK and let me tell you why I wouldn’t go overseas for my country.
1) lack of promises fulfilled by the government every single time
2) mass migration diluting our culture and blatantly being ignored
3) taking down our UK flags for the gay flag
4) what the army did to the boys who took a photo with Tommy Robinson who is infamous for critiquing the government of allowing young fighting aged men from the Middle East in mass to our country
5) the amount of tax tax tax the government robs us for
I love my people and I would fight to defend our homeland but no way am I going overseas to die or kill other people for my government. Our culture has been diluted and shamed. The government doesn’t help those in need ie elderly and disabled nearly enough, we are taxed for everything if you decide to get off your own back and try to work for a better living and the famous NHS is neglected and the private health sector in the uk isn’t as available as elsewhere, the nurses and doctors are honestly the best and most giving people you will meet but the big bosses are too greedy and the NHS doesn’t get enough people to keep it functioning, I’ve been waiting to have a wisdom tooth taken out for almost a year because it isn’t hurting me actively.
So why should I fight for my country who sponsor the bbc heavily who claim to hate white straight men? Get the immigrants and gays to go fight your wars, shoot me or put me in a prison because I won’t hurt nobody for my government only the people I love.
I think you're 100% right. I can understand the people who fought in WWII because they were treated better, they had or got families & jobs & they had reason to believe that the world would get better after the war. The Western governments don't deserve our loyalty anymore.
England is kind of infamous for her love of taxes on this side of the pond
its not just the culture being diluted
the town council where i lived stopped the churches ringing bells sunday mornings as it upset the non christians living near the churches AND YET most of the mosques had loud speakers on the street broadcasting the call to prayer 5 times a day !!!!
Its the double standards like this among other things where minoritys can be as racist as they want but you can go to jail for it

Love the edits, great job team.
It's funny because when I was 19-20, i also lived in a privileged time. I had never seen an attack on American soil. No one had since Pearl Harbor. Then 9/11 hit. I have a physical disability that disqualified me for duty or i would've ran and joined. I had friends who had no idea what they were going to do with their adult life when it happened. Now, 25 years later, many went on to have successful careers in the military and others used their service to build a great civilian life for themselves afterwards. I think many forget that when you join, youre tested for where you will fit in best. You may not ever carry a gun. You could end up a cook, paper pusher, or even a jet mechanic. Trust me, the government is mot going to put a gun in the hands of someone who will run the minute they're on the battlefield.
I’m gonna be real - I served for 3.5 years in the Army and I am overjoyed at how many people are saying they’ll resist a draft, as well as how many people flat out aren’t joining anymore in general. Our Government has become an uncontrollable monster and the Military is a part of that.
There’s people from previous generations saying that for us to resist a draft is selfish and “back in the day our boys would’ve fought”. Yeah? Well back in the day we didn’t know what we know now. We didn’t know that our Government is run by sick sadistic pedophiles that want nothing more than total control of everything. Not just our Government, the World really. The boys back then believed the Government was right and America was the best. Now we know that our people in charge don’t have Americas interests at heart. And we refuse to die overseas so they can make their money.

US adversaries don’t care about your opinions or way of life. If the WW2 vets resisted joining the military, you would be speaking German today.
@@Bryan-od7nv WW2 vets were fighting an actual enemy. Modern "enemies" are made up by the media, terrorists abroad are funded by the government, hatred is artificially inflated and wars start just to feed the military industrial complex and launder money. Ukrainian government was overthrown by US to turn it into anti-Russia, brutal and extremist HAMAS was originally funded by Israel as a counterweight to moderate PLO, even ISIS was funded by United States as an excuse to illegaly occupy Syria. All these modern conflicts are a product of warmongering and propaganda.
@@Bryan-od7nvWith all due respect , and I can remember it wrong but according to history . People who govern America at that time sell weapons to enemies of Germany . And Germany warned them , they didn't listen of course . And they get attacked . Remember Pearl Harbour ? (And if you look into the event most ships literally was not there when the event happened , because American goverment get a tip from England . So they minimalize their lost but still let the attack to happen so they can have a good reason to join the fight ) , (İt happens all the time , 9/11 , Nowadays israel/hamas attack , the goverments are know the attack will happen and they let it , because there is something they can earn , death people are just a number for them ) and after the war , america lend to much too much money. Which war broken countries can't pay it back and created an economic crisis . So in the end of story . Rich people eat their cake , while poor americans lost their family members , traumatised , throw it aside , die from hunger, became jobless . Basically rich of that time destroyed that generation . War would end britain's favor anyways . With or without america . American people suffer for nothing . And their sacrifice only make rich people's pockets get fat . İt is the sadness of reality .
“We can just say no”. Oh yeah, because resisting the draft went well in the 1960s. You go to jail or leave the country and never come back.
@@Bryan-od7nvexactly, in fact 3 of my Great Grandfathers and my 2nd Great Grandfather all enlisted before they could get drafted. My 2nd great grandfather was already in the Army for 12 years by the time war was declared in 1941
I don't think they are mocking it because they don't think it could happen, I think it's a coping mechanism. Also yes, I would actually probably do my best to defy a draft if it was was implemented. When it comes to my life, I owe the government nothing.
think the new generation has been taught alot about "previous mistakes" such as world wars and "stolen generations".
We get taught and influenced about how wrong and bad these things are, and told it was "years ago" and the world was very different.
But then in todays age, all of a sudden it can just switch up and we are expected to.... To what? From what we have been taught.... Its to repeat the mistakes of a previous generation.
Its kind of understandable why people are against it.
If the older generations wanted strong soilders in the future, they should have lied about the wars.
But instead they gave us the harsh reality and showed us the trauma and pain that war causes.
And then expect those people to grow up all ready and happy to go to war.
Previous generations before internet had an idea, but not as much of an idea of what war is like as what current generations can see on the internet.

I believe a draft would be stupid, the reason the U.S army isn't getting enough volunteer recruitment is due to many of the appropriate recruitment age being discouraged by things like the alarming amount of veterans being treated like shit after service, the amount of misconduct that goes unpunished and also many not meeting the standards due to things like obesity, mental health and criminal records, so to fix the army recruitment issue you first need to deal with the poor and unhealthy.
As a zoomer, I can confirm that our generation is not ready for any military draft.

Many people in our society who are fit and competent enough to defend our country don't have an ounce of faith in our government. I think that will be as big a problem for the draft as the clueless portion of gen z.
You're absolutely right. I'm 31, and I certainly would fight if it was in order to preserve the well being of the US, but I will have no part in any of the bullshit wars going on right now. It's all political horseshit to make certain people rich.
What reason would they have to have faith in their governments?
@@Grayewick exactly my thoughts. our current government has done nothing to win us over the last 3 years. the only thing they have accomplished is making us not trust them. and they keep dragging us into these wars that we are funding
@@Grayewick well if they thought that the government wasn't hopelessly corrupt and whatever situation which required the draft wasn't brought about as a means to feed that corruption at the expense of their lives, then they might have some faith. At least for the US, I can't imagine how someone could have that faith without being completely naive.
I’m a GenZ er and I’m over weight, I can hardly get out of bed and make it to breakfast, how would I get out of a Fox hole and storm the enemy. I’ll have a heart attack. It would take a Brigade to carry my Fat ass off the battlefield!

I couldn't agree with you more!
I love that people don't understand drafts. Especially when it comes to emergencies. Too heavy? Welcome to the infantry! Mental problems? Congratulations, you're now in the infantry. Flat feet? Don't look flat to me. Welcome to the infantry. Too old? This is your rebirth. Welcome to the infantry.

@@Razor-gx2dqi actually clinically cant be apart of the draft. Schrizophrenia could lead to me shooting my opposition and my team. So it would be counterintuitive to even have me there. Schizophrenia is much serious than you think. Im not even legally allowed to be apart of a jury or vote. Because my clinical nature. So if i cant vote im not going to do a draft. Whats the point. Ive also tried to enlist with the army and they said they cant. Even if they had low volume. Theres just been a huge genetical cases of my family having severe bipolar disorder. Both my aunts killed multiple people, stabbed their children and ran people over with their cars. And that was only the bipolar in them. Schizophrenia causes you to forget who you are and not trust your surroundings. And you hear voices that force you to make a life changing decision.

I doubt Brett will ever see this, but I have to tell you all as a veteran of the Iraq war, I'm so insanely disappointed in the younger generation. I was born in the 80s, and served in OIF in 2008. Our tour was nothing more than any other, but everyone made it back, then all of my friends started killing their selves and hurting their selves en-masse. The things we saw aren't possible to "get over" and I still have nightmares to this day at 35. It's like gears grinding in opposite ways in my head, like shards of glass in the brain. I was very young there and I followed my families tradition of answering the call, but I had no idea what war was when I enlisted at 17.
I learned very quickly and the military made me a man and a severe alcoholic, both rather quickly. What happens in war isn't just the chaotic death of your friends and loved ones, it stays with you FOREVER. And it hurts, every single day. War will always exist, but whoever you are, please in Gods name dont send your children to war. Please dont, for whoever they are or may be, I BEG you dont put them through the "meat grinder" that we saw. It's pointless and you're gifting them nothing but a lifetime of extremely severe trauma. I cant speak for ever veteran but I will speak as an infantry soldier.
I am outdated, I am "obsolete" now with a broken body and mind by military standards, which often makes me wonder why I survived it in the first place. But at least I can be a testament to what war is. A notion of "don't be this thing" for future generations. And maybe that is a purpose. But I say again and BEG whoever you are:
In GODS name, PLEASE don't send your children to war. You will never see your child again, even when/if they return home.
Damn this is a powerful comment. I'm sorry about all of your demons. I hope you can overcome them one day good sir
The 2 funerals I’ve been to in my adult life were vets that came home and took their own lives. I hate our country for what it did to you and your brothers. I will never understand what you vets go through and I thank my desert storm vet uncle every time I see him for convincing me that joining the marines was not the right thing for me to do after high school, probably saved my life.
Thank you for your service. I'm praying for you. Praying for mental peace. stay strong and take it one day at a time. I know that's probably easier said than done but just don't give up.
Imagine going to war in Iraq knowing it was all a set up
Thank you for your service, just remember that there are still those in the younger generations that are thankful for what you have done. And that we will take your advice to heart and avoid war at all cost.
Funny that I'm watching this video right after the plane lady video you did, and you used the plane lady in this lol
I was once told that for some people they'll just glance over the violence like it isn't even happening and that it doesn't apply to them, and I have to say, every day I wake up and get in my car those words become more and more real to me, while we sit at home just making jokes we shouldn't ignore what's happening and should take into account other people out there, and their struggles to survive y'know what I'm saying?
I'm 23 and was looking at the Navy at one point and frankly, most of Gen Z should never be put into wartime. If I had to rely on my peers in an active combat situation, I wouldn't trust any of them to get me out alive. The only thing I'm glad for is that there's a decent contingency of us that still know what the outside smells like and how to light a fire, let alone survive in a war torn area.
Send them all to the navy, it fits them.
Didn't I just see that 70% of the military is already obese or overweight? That trans surgeries and medications will be paid for by the military? If I were a healthy young man, there is no way I would want to be in a combat situation with these losers as my fellow soldiers.

Love the thumbnail bret had me dead 😂😂😂😂
When you think of drafting women, think of how women entered the workforce during the WWII to work in factories and take over jobs left open by the men who went off to war. For example, the Army is only 1/3rd combat oriented and the remaining 2/3rds are support roles for combat units. therefore, if women get drafted they will first fill non-combat roles, so that more men can be placed in combat roles first. So a male soldier who works in admin jobs, will be replaced by a women and he will be sent to the frontline. So women will not purposely be sent to combat, they will be , as we would say, "in the rear with the gear."
It's directly proportional.
The reason that men fought was because there was something worth Fighting for. Now that there is fewer and fewer things that are worth a damn, the willingness to defend goes down proportionally.
It's really that simple.
This is written by a combat wounded soldier who is increasingly convinced that his time and blood have been wasted.
It was different back when our grandfather's served.

The thing is, these kids aren’t wrong. Mass civil disobedience is extremely effective. The government isn’t omnipotent. Their ability to use force and coerce citizens is an extremely limited resource. They rely more on psychological control and compliance. If the draft was broadly rejected, they couldn’t hope to enforce it.
Now let's do this with other totally innapropriate laws! Together we could all civilly take back our country from the geriatrics who have been degrading it more and more through time.
exactly, and i'd say a good 90% of the people i know would refuse to comply with a draft, there's no way it would work and i think the gov knows that so it simply won't happen
They wouldn't need to enforce it to the point they find and get everyone to join. This is not new. This same sentiment was popular in the 1960s; a time when civil disobedience was not new and was known to be effective. Also, back then the government could not find you via your smartphone and people actually used cash for most transactions. It is one thing to talk about how one would rather go to jail or flee to Canada. It is quite another to actually do it. Most will talk a big game, but most will also just have to go. It is what it is. I already served my 20 years and retired. So, I'm just watching this unfold now. I hope we do not need to draft anyone as I truly believe that this population of young people is relatively mentally and physically weak and will be unable to survive any battlefield for too long. But it can happen, and if it does, a lot of people who do not want to go will be made to go. Again, I hope it does not because we are going to lose a whole generation of young people.
Yeah, but there's a lot the government CAN do to punish those who refuse the draft even if they can't arrest them all. Immediately make it impossible for them to get loans in the future, cut off access to their bank accounts, refuse social security in the future, kick them off Medicare/Medicaid if they're on it... I'm sure there's more this is just what I can think of off the top my head.

I like the fact that, having spent so much time despising and trying to erase what they regard as 'toxic masculinity'' from society, these delicate little flowers still expect those brutes to go and fight for them, and to sacrifice their lives in order to protect their freedom.
There will be no brutes left if we don't at least fight for the snowflakes of our generation because they'll all be from gen X and above. Respect to this cin out generation who already had the chance to join, hope I can defend my country one day🫡👍
What freedom?
What are they actually trying to erase according to you? This isn't a real world problem it's a made up internet argument. Nobody wants to erase strength from society.
This is exactly why I'll never fight. I will not risk my life for a country that hates me.
You got a lot of freedom. Go elsewhere and try some of the crap these people in America do. It don’t fly.
The problem is Brett, you will not be fighting for freedom nor your government but for Big Business to make money on your kit, meda, logistics, bodybag and cascket. And that is scary… 😳
And for draft escapism there is a solution. For instance in my Democratic Country sentence for avoiding draft is Lifetime, how about that? FYI Lifetime is 25 years here. ✌️

I'm 57 and I enlisted in the army in 1987, I was extended for desert storm and medically discharged shortly after. I was literally a mercenary. I had been employed as a mechanic but those damn tech schools were churning out mechanics who weren't good or experienced but they had ASE certification through the school and they were willing to work cheap so my job prospects were less than stellar. Ronald Reagan had just given what was for the time a huge raise to the military. I was fed, housed clothed and I had $550 cash in my pocket to spend however I like every month. I know people today who don't have $550 in inflated dollars a month in discretionary spending. I once had a locker inspection where they knew something was wrong but they couldn't place what. My sergeant told them you won't find anything, he doesn't have anything the Army didn't give him. I had discipline before the Army, the Army honed it to a finer edge. I'm pretty damn wealthy now and I would give a lot to have those years and some of the damage I took back. The Army will NOT make a man out of you, if you were a man, it might make you a better man. If you are weak, it Will make cannon fodder out of you. Cannon fodder will not win wars. Looking around, we are doomed.
That is not my experience. The Army took me from an immature goof off to a grown up in 9 weeks, finished up that growing up period when 9/11 happened on my 5 month mark. That was just the beginning.
I am grateful for what the army did in my life. ❤

Seeing what this society has become and how it’s treated so many people, why would anyone under any circumstance risk their life fighting for it?
I think you underestimate the young men of this generation. True they have less reason to care about society than any previous generation but this has only made them cynical and detached from morality. Many of them are killing them selves why would they fear a battlefield. You may think they are too mentally ill to fight, I say if you are already suffering from multiple mental disorders what is one more going to do? You asked why would anyone die for this society? Simple, they don’t value their own lives. I predict that this generation could fight a war of such horror that it would make ww2 look childish.
Because the alternative may be losing your life, and the lives of many others. Your life is kind of tied into this thing unfortunately. I don't know anyone that joined up to fight for the politicians or the system; they were there for far more personal reasons. It's not like we can just wait for the game to end and start a new country for the next round; your existence is pretty closely tied to this system. Sounds kind of like because the system is broke, we should abandon defending the country at all (which includes your property and loved ones); I disagree.

To each their own, but I'd like to meet these folks that don't care about their property or loved ones. I can't imagine looking at my family and saying "well I'm not willing to defend you cause I disagree with the politics"; I'm sure they will feel so loved.
I have zero love for the politics of it, but it's the nation we have. I'm sure that to some, the US is simply a political system and some talking heads. In reality though that is the least of what the US is (just what we've allowed to happen). I may not agree with how it's being run, but it's still where I and my loved ones live so that makes it worth quite a bit.
The draft is supposed to go hand in hand with the right to vote. If you don't want to fight for your country you shouldn't have the right to vote.
And yet, civil service can be done in other ways then military.
keep it up. many years from now some might even say: Brett Cooper for President.
Veterans Day is coming up, but I'll jump the gun a bit. Thank you all for your service. Because of your bravery and sacrifices, you've given me a safe and comfortable life away from war. Despite my hardships in life I can confidently say you made my life and the lives of people like me better. Thank you for everything.

And then there is the fact that those Vietnam draft dodgers had to wait 4-13 years for the pardon. What kind of quality of life are you going to have being an illegal immigrant in Central or South America for 4-13 years? You already know the Federal Government is not giving you permission to leave.

I did not take that offer, but that showed me that if serious, a person can still serve their country even in as a civilian.

WTF WTF UNFAIR STUPID MILLENIALS DIDNT SERVE IN WAR WHY WE GOT TOO😮☹
Member of Gen Z who worked as a civilian for the Navy, based on what i did I’d probably be summoned back to do a similar role if women were drafted. Most of our generation is not prepared to do that. But the people of my generation and younger millennials i worked with are stellar people serving their country. They are the minority but those who volunteer to serve have always been in the minority.
I’d be considered an extreme right winger (which doesn’t narrow it down so I’ll just say I’m moderate) and yet I wouldn’t be too enthusiastic at all for a draft. There’s a difference between blind patriotism and defending your country, and being a part of the military doesn’t mean you’re doing anything for the greater good, or for your country for that matter. They’re brave of course, many of them, but that doesn’t mean everything
"Most of our generation is not prepared to do that." Nobody was prepped to draft back when the draft was a thing. 18 year olds taking straight from H.S. thrown into the worst wars known to man.
Yes, the minority of any generation are great people. But the majority of every recent generation are absolutely useless and pathetic. And it gets worse every generation.
Why would you serve for a country and government that is against you. They plunder your resources, manipulate you, kill you with what they put in your food and your water. Not to mention what the elite ‘get up to’ in their ‘private time’. They provide false narratives, which only serve to drum up wars in order to enrich their pockets. They lie to you constantly and you think anyone with good sense would want to serve. I almost feel sorry that you haven’t done enough research into looking into how and who your country is run by. Don’t sacrifice yourself for a people that don’t care about you to kill people who also do not have a clue why they’re doing what they’re doing. These elites play both sides, and they’re playing you.

I joined because not only did I feel it was my duty but so others didn't need to that wanted to stay home because they couldn't or wouldn't fight. If we were to enter a world war now, we'd be in serious trouble with all the weakness that was created through good times.
I can confidently say that if war is the hard times that make strong men i preferred to be weak ive seen the interviews where soldiers break down crying trying to retail what they have done war is a horrible thing where no one wins except the people in power who start said war
I dreamed of joining as a kid, my dad was paratrooper. Considering the current admin. I just really wouldn't want to fight for people who don't give a shit if you live or die.
I don’t have enough pride in my country to give my life for it. I can’t even tell if we are the good guys anymore. Every country thinks they’re the right country, and ours has some of the most corrupt leaders in the world
Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way! I keep trying to say these things to my family members but they keeping acting as I've grown a 3rd or 4th head! Clearly, I'm alone in my feelings.
They don't care about us.
@@Razor-gx2dqunless it’s voting time
So true! LOL!@@firstlast8258
Gen z is not blind to the corrupt government. They see through the lies they fed our parents and grandparents. As a gen z kid. I’d dig my boots in the ground to defend my home land here is it got invaded. But I’m not being shipped off to some foreign country to defend its land and be killed for my government and its politicians to make money.
I turned 18 about a month after 9/11. I remember filling out the selective service stuff and just assuming we’d be drafted at some point. We ended up not having a draft as we know and I wasn’t the type to serve, especially back then, but it blew my mind how many people were in denial of a draft being enacted and this was less than 30 days after 9/11!
Yeah I would understand the reasons why they would want to go. But now is completely different because we have no part in this
I also turned 18 a few weeks after 9/11. I actually registered for selective service a few days before it happened.
Guns were tacky, even in 2001. What is this, the revolutionary war?
@@Susbus69 . We are supplying war materials for now. More involvement will come with time.
I'm 6 years younger but I remember that registration card coming in the mail. 2 of my older friends were already on their 1st tour and it definitely seemed like it could happen.
Brett should join military first before lecturing us to go die in pointless conflicts.
Did you even watch the first bit of the video?
10:00 It's such a low blow that you have to deal with this with college
The majority of my father's side was drafted and served. Most of them were farm boys. The ones who came home alive were old men, insane and missing limbs. None of their marriages survived except for one. The wife chained him inside a spare bedroom and tried to care for him. Therapy and psychiatrists were hard to come by after Vietnam.
I remember as a child watching an ANZAC day parade with some relatives and seeing people spit at the Vietnam veterans. Utterly repulsive to see herd mentality at work.
oh no she had to chain him up because he was so mentally ill? so sad
So, mental illness runs deep in your gene pool. How sad for you.
@@idorus It's from the ptsd. you dream of war every night and try to fight in your sleep. You basically sleep walk. Why we import the people that despise us in this country makes no sense.
How is Brett gonna sit there and tell me that I'm so privileged and how i should go off to war, meanwhile she is literally immune to the draft.
I have no desire to protect this country or the people in it.
I mean it’s almost like males have evolved for combat and hunting and females haven’t.
It makes more sense to draft men.
@@thatoneguy58609 if you're so eager to get drafted then volunteer. My point is how casually a woman is willing to send men off to war and death. Maybe I don't want to be considered expendable because I was born male.
I am an Iraq War vet: The fact that men cannot get certain benefits from their government without signing up for the draft but women can tells me that men are second class citizens. The fact that men would have to go and serve and fight and die for people who will not, would not, and cannot, fight them is all I need to know. Amish, feminists, druggies, chicken-hawks, Three Letter Agencies... The whole shebang and gamut of people in this country, to say nothing of our "allies," who are undeserving on a single drop of sweat let alone the oceans of blood that a conflict would entail; sending our best and brightest to fight for them would be the height of hypocrisy and I would be honorbound to disrupt it to the best of my ability.
@@thatoneguy58609Send the women first
@@thatoneguy58609They want gender equality, so that means the draft too. Either everyone gets drafted or no one gets drafted. That's equality.
i always wantred to join the military since i was like 6-9 years old, but im 19 now and realized this countries going to hell with all the lies so its a no go from me
plot twist: joe biden has just been acting all along as a deterrence to AI imitation
I was thinking about this just the other day. Scary stuff. Not only do many people in our country struggle to find a good reason to support the current state of government, they simply struggle to believe in anything at all. The last twenty years have seen more hyper-individualism and narcissism than ever before - people who only care about and trust themselves aren't going to make sacrifices for anyone.
Is biblical too
Whilst that is true, society has become much more self centred, speaking as a Brit at least, it’s not become and unhealthy level of individualism with the average person. However the declining trust in the government and other institutions is a major problem.
Give people a reason to believe. Have you been around the last twenty years?
Yes sacrifice for the ungrateful sky daddy cults and the corrupt cheating greedy rich
Sacrifice for a reason with righteous merit
Otherwise ..
@@ydid687 the Sky Daddy is my enemy.
I get where gen z is coming from. I wouldn't want to be drafted to go fight across the sea in someone elses war. BUT if people come to your home to start obliterating lives im sure Gen Z will stand up and defend their home and themselves.
Nope. This culture isn't worth preserving. Y'all can fend for yourselves.
Yes I agree with you, I won’t fight for some foreign nation, but I’ll fight for my home and family/friends.
yea im moving somewhere else before sum like this happens
Here in Greece, every male between the ages of 19-45 needs to have completed 12 months of mandatory military service, so that if there ever needs to be a draft, we will be prepared.
