Is the Draft coming back?

12. I certainly hope not.

My son is 19. I received a call from an Army recruiter on my personal cell phone the other day. First they asked for some stranger, then asked me if by any chance I had a son named —-. I said “yes”. It went like this:

Me: No. He’s not here.
Rec: When can I call back.
Me: To whom am I speaking?
Rec: Army Recruiter. We just wanted to speak to him.
Me: Don’t think so. You already have his 4 cousins. My son isn’t interested in serving in the military, especially under *this* “commander in chief”. Besides, if he wanted to talk to you, he would have given you his number, not mine.
Rec: I certainly understand man, but I need to hear that from him.
Me: No you don’t. Have a nice day.

(Pretty sure they used a rock climbing/field day actuvity at his high school to collect additional info on the kids graduating last year. He’s already a sophomore in college, full ride. His 5 cousins were told by their parents “go in the military or find a way to pay for college yourself”.
