Conscription would probably be better instead of what we have now, where a mercenary army of the poor is bribed with money for education and health care and then if they come back, they get honored by a free lunch once a year while struggling with mental health issues.

Our foreign wars only impact a small portion of the population, which prevents mass protest and solidarity among all citizens, as opposed to just having what almost amounts to a caste of military families. If everyone knew someone who had been drafted or was drafted themselves, things might be different.

The free healthcare and college for veterans is exactly why we don't offer it to everyone, even though we could; no one would have a reason to enlist.

Man who has never stepped foot within the continental united states: i have a lot of evidence that a country i have never visited and will never visit is strongly biased against white people. That is why I, a resident of the phillippines, is making a living telling white people how much their white supremacist government dislikes them

“What evidence do you have, imc”

I like the people who hypothesize that Casimir Pulaski was actually intersex because they examined the body when it was exhumed for a new memorial or something -just because there was a bunch of rumors and differing accounts about WHO was interred there - and went "Uhhh, this is a woman's skeleton." A woman's skeleton that is genetically related to Pulaski's relatives's descendants. And that has wounds matching wounds seen in portraits and mentioned in accounts of the battles he fought in.

So yeah, odds are good that the Father of American Cavalry was born intersex or female. I think the researchers argue that he was intersex based on his birth records mentioning "issues" with the birth, but really vague in a way you wouldn't see if it was just "the baby was sick" or "the baby was a girl".

interesting and cool.

The problem is you can't have a high tech army with 2 year conscripts. Should we have thought about that before 20 years of forever wars? Ehhh...maybe we can deploy Teslas with FSD into enemy cities.

If your talking about El he was the period before that. In fact he was arguably the first time the guard really became a major player in court politics

quote:

Elon Musk says during a live chat on X (formerly Twitter) with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that there is “no choice” other than to destroy the Hamas terror group in order to bring about a better future for Gaza, and agrees with Netanyahu that the terror organization has genocidal intentions toward the Jewish people.

US billionaire Musk, the owner of X and head of SpaceX, says though that he would like to help rebuild Gaza after the current war, and asserts that rehabilitating the territory is an important step to preventing future war.

“If you want security, peace and a better life for Gazans, then you need to destroy Hamas. You first have to get rid of the poisonous regime as was done in Germany and Japan,” says Netanyahu, to which Musk responds: “There’s no choice.”

Musk also remarks that civilian casualties are “unavoidable” and that Israel is trying to avoid them in its war against Hamas.

“You need to pair firmness and taking out the terrorists and those intent on murder, and at the same time help those that remain, which is what happened in Germany and Japan,” he adds.

“Usually the victor punishes the loser,” he continues, and points to the rehabilitation of Germany and Japan by the allies after World War II as examples of how reconstruction efforts after a major war and a clear-cut victory helped secure peace for a long period of time.
