...there will always be ways for the rich fucks/repuke chickenhawks/well connected cowards to escape the draft.

And given the mental capacities of the average 21 year old MAGA Hat-wearin' White 'Mercan Male, just because they're shit-for-brains stupid does not necessarily mean they should be shipped off somewhere to be inflicted with ptsd/crippling injuries/death etc.

I am trying to hold onto whatever empathy for "the others" that I still have left at this point.
