Let’s be clear though—two destroyers ain’t waging war with Iran. They’re most likely moving these closer so that, once again, if/when Iran retaliates for this unprovoked attack by Israel, they can help shield Israel from incoming missiles and drones.

Yeah that was my first thought. If we were serious about getting involved there would be a carrier group headed that way.

This is no Iraq. Iran is a war you can't wage on the cheap. There will eventually be a draft.

And this nation will see draft dodging like never before, countless MPs will be murdered when they attempt to take out children from us.

No violence. Peace. Peace. Resist passively and legally. It's the only way.

Are you seriously advocating for peaceful resistance when peaceful resistance to a draft is just going to jail? Yeah, nah, I don't think peaceful resistance is gonna cut it.

Can't be peaceful when it comes to illegal draft
