So this non-serving ass clown wants OTHER people to sign up for a draft to protect his “unparalleled freedoms and opportunities” while he sits back and enjoys them. Says our freedoms are the envy of the world. My brother, have you ever even left the country? Because nothing says “unparalleled freedom” like going bankrupt from a hospital visit, watching your kids do active shooter drills, and needing a draft to staff a military that already has the biggest budget on the planet. But sure, the whole world is just green with envy. Absolutely seething. They’re over there with their universal healthcare and paid parental leave just WISHING they could be us.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Sorry, I don't take geopolitical advice from a man whose most notable acting roles included starring in The Hot Chick.

I think his most notable role was a bit character in Waterboy. "You can do it!".

It's also worth remembering that the character in question was simultaneously incredibly vicious, stupid and naive.

He may not have even been acting, now that I think about it.

The man peaked (!) last millennium with Deuce Bigalow Male Gigolo.
