Just wait - Millennials and Gen-Z - until there’s a war and an active draft in the US again.
Venezuela anyone? (Dear God, I hope not but the current asshat in the Oval Orfice seems bent on taking a page from the Monroe Doctrine and adding teeth. Gotta justify Kegsbreath’s trillion dollar DOD budget plans after all…)
Shit’s gonna get VERY real and you may gain a bit of insight as to why 'boomers just gave up and “went condo” as they used to say.
Ok, boomer
There will never be another draft. Our military is to big, and we aren’t going to try to occupy anything. Drones knock down our deployment numbers drastically. Unless there was actually a war with someone like China or on our own soil, there is no need. We currently have about 2 million people already volunteered. Our largest force during the Afghanistan/Iraq bologna was around 100k. So we could send 10x that and not get into the reserves. Our military is way to damn big
The military also doesn’t want to go back to a draft army. Discipline and morale suck with a draft army and there is severe political blowback to casualties from drafted personnel.
A lot of reforms post Vietnam were made to make sure that the US military didn’t need to draft.
Venezuela
that’ll just be the start, these fucks will have us kids patrolling the darien gap and defoliating the fucking continent given half a chance
Ok millennial
Ok boomer
Also, it originated as a way for Zomers to dis Millennials by calling them Boomers when they perceived they were acting in that way. But Millennials at large didn’t get the subtext and started using it themselves, thus making themselves the Boomer who didn’t really understand pop culture.
Dude, peole have been using that on 4chan since 2015 or earlier to tell people that they were out of touch with current affairs or the state of the world. Wasn’t aimed like that.
Making up your own history to throw hate is such a boomer thing to do.
lol no
