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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Draft = you dont actually have freedom. I've said it since I was a child and the only response I get is "well they don't/won't actually use it". Well, enjoy either dying for what you don't believe in or going to prison. Y'know, that place that has legal slave labor.
