Outraged Americans are asking the Trump administration to send the president’s youngest son, Barron, to the Middle East as the U.S. launched strikes against Iran in a joint operation with Israel
Sounds like a draft is being planned for the occupation of Iran, aka Vietnam v.4

I doubt it, or at least, I hope you’re wrong. This would go down like a lead balloon if they did it. The war is super unpopular in the US, probably super, suuuper unpopular among military age young men… who are, broadly speaking, either far left, or anti-semitic… like, a draft is a potential mass unrest inducing event. surely they won’t do it
Oh, yeah, they won’t do anything stupid, like starting a wildly unpopular war that will spike gas prices during a midterm campaign that is already about high prices. /S
They already KNOW they’ll get clobbered at the Midterms, so announcing a Draft will be the perfect punishment. Vote against MAGA? We’ll just kill your children.
A draft will be a mass resistance event, and they love the chaos. That’s exactly the reason they WILL do it.
Now that he’s got the military aligned toward a traditional target, they will remain organized in war mode, and become accustomed to following whatever orders come down.
They will be a lot more difficult to turn against the MAGA government now. I suspect that’s the real reason they invaded now.
Who’s victim blaming? I’m more than one of his target groups. If you think this is what martial law looks like you’re in for a shock though. What we’ve seen so far is barely worse than average US police brutality. Things can and likely will get a whole lot uglier.

Trump wants unrest so he can instate martial law and begin his reign of terror in earnest.
It’s hard to be a dictator without a support of the army or the people.

I wish I shared your optimism.
Because he hasn’t already done so without “an excuse”? Stop victim blaming.

If their isn’t “mass unrest” already, nothing will cause it
