    Same, putting my kids on the first flight out of the country if I even catch a whiff of Mango Mussolini thinking about imposing a draft.

      I have to ask. Isn’t this just leaving the hard part to the poor and unfortunate? Why not have them stay and help stop this thing instead? Would you rather they come back once the dirty part is over? I’m legitimately curious, I do not understand, thank you

        I’ll answer with an honest answer back to you. How would they help if they are drafted and sent to the front lines of some war? If they don’t follow orders they are court marshaled and sent to prison. Should I as a parent allow that to happen to my children? I’m sorry for the poor and unfortunate, and if there was anything else I could do for others I would, but my priorities will always be my family first, and the rest of society second.

        Look up what they used to do to German soldiers who refused to follow orders during WW2 because they didn’t agree with their orders, same was done to conscripted (other type of draft) Russian soldiers.
