Well, if the US imposed a draft for an invasion of Iran right now, it would likely lead to massive civil unrest - the war is very unpopular, especially among young people. At the moment, it’s a very distant thing for Americans, being told that you’re going to go off and die in Iran for the benefit of Israel would probably be the breaking point for people.
civil unrest is perfect. they can just arrest the protesting civillians and put them to work in the for profit prisons, leaving only compliant civilians. win-win.
It’s not about doing the right thing at that point, though, that’s kinda my point, it’s self-preservation. Look at the Vietnam draft and how that went, and realize that the majority supported the Vietnam war until after 8 years in - we’re only 15 DAYS into the Iran war and it’s already very unpopular. Keep in mind as well, that historically it’s young people who are most likely to participate in civil unrest.
I honestly believe that if Trump imposed a draft for the Iran war, it would spell the end of his presidency, and possibly his life.

I’m not convince it would lead to much civil unrest.
That won’t lead to civil unrest. There’ll be a few protests but the majority will comply.
A large part will support it.
This is Americans we’re talking about here, not anyone willing to do the right thing.

Yeah look, I’m sorry, but I don’t share your view.
I hope you’re right and he tries it. Anything really because fuck the rest of us are sick of it and we are losing patience.
