Republicans never let the facts get in the way of a good false narrative, it’s practically in the DNA.

And go where? In some country’s military service is mandatory and any western country with threat of war would conscript.

FWIW. Men born in 1957, 1958, and 1959 never had to register for the draft. We're too young to have registered for Vietnam, and when President Carter restarted registration it began with those born in 1960. You have to go back to the Cleveland administration (roughly) to find another cohort of men who never had to register for a US draft.

Gaslight should remain a movie as opposed to a way of running an election.

I'm all for criticizing Republicans for hawkishness, but it's idiotic to then defend Hillary "we came, we saw, he died" Clinton in the same breath: she pushed Bill to bomb Yugoslavia, voted for the Iraq War, presided over the bombing of Libya and advocated further bombing in Syria. Hillary Clinton never met a military intervention she didn't like. As her close foreign policy ally Albright once said: "What is the point of having this superb military you're always talking about if you can't use it?"

And against this robust war record, you claim Trump doing basically nothing (failing to lead us to victory in Afghanistan puts him only on par with all the other presidents we've had since) as... hawkish? There are a million better things to roast him for than supposedly being more *warlike* than Hillary.

And yet, Trump has brought the world closer to world war than anything any Democrat has done in out lifetime. You don't have to be hawkish to be a danger to world peace. Trump was already licking the boots of dictators while he was running in 2016. Giving them permission to run rampant is worse than flexing our military muscle.

He had an Iranian general drone assassinated in Iraq. Could have easily sparked another ME war.

He wanted to start a war with Iran SO BADLY but he couldn’t do it without taking responsibility. That’s the ONLY thing that stopped him: His cowardice.

To be honest, these changes to the SS system seem not unreasonable. But if it were up to me, the whole Selective Service system would be shitcanned. 🤔😉😊

Did you ever wonder if maybe you are the moron?

If you don’t know who the moron is, chances are it’s you!

Maybe. I’ll accept that. But maybe not. The people who are so sure of themselves are very often wrong and can’t admit it so they have to insult anyone who thinks differently. That’s what i see here with this guy

Hello! This is Ogre AI! You do not appear to have read the article and are making an ass of yourself! Would you like to read the article before continuing to embarass yourself in public? Y or N?

More name calling. You are not good at much else.

You still appear to have not read the article. Would you like to read it before continuing to clown yourself? Y/N?

Or perhaps you can tell me one single thing I wrote in the piece that I am wrong about? Just one. Since I am, in your view, possibly the moron.

If not, then one can only wonder why you felt the need to opine on something you were too lazy to read. Are you lazy? Or a fucking idiot? Pick one.

I read your article that was loaded with ad hominem attacks of those who have different opinions. Then, in this comment thread, you make unfounded assumptions and accusations while attacking me with more name calling. Is this 3rd grade? Do you even read yourself?
