Our freedoms still aren't hiding in the middle east. This is despite the fact that every time the government goes there some of our freedoms go missing

The asswipe had two choices, serve Uncle Sam or the IDF. Did he? Nope and he can piss in the wind.
‘These Freedoms That We Cherish Do Not Come Without Cost’
Same fucking propaganda bullshit is being touted in Europe. Unbelievable that much of the working class buys into this
Invading other countries has nothing to do with your "freedom".
Send every single person in ICE first then the children of politicians. None are allowed cushy office jobs. All must be boots on the ground.
It's seem like every ass clown has an opinion now
Says our freedoms are the envy of the world.
I think I can speak for all of Sweden when I say: we are not even remotely envious of US "freedom"
There's this "old" song I think express our views just fine
We're not living in America. But we're not sorry, I knew there was something that we never had. We don't worry. No, we're not living in America. But we're not sorry. No we don't care about the world today. We're not sorry for you
As an australia, with welfare and medicare systems that actually, you know, work, I'm not even CLOSE to being envious of the americans. Yeah, I'm really jealous of the fact that I functionally don't need to worry about getting shot to death by police/nutbags (same thing, amirite?)
As an American, I'm envious of the freedoms Europeans have. I hear in much of Europe you don't have to change doctors when you change jobs. And they let you spend a few months with your newborn child.
fuck Schneider in general, but about the draft i agree. the US is so nonchalant about starting a new way every Thursday is because there is no draft.
they live so far removed from consequences that they can afford to be ignorant while their elected representatives deal immeasurable pain to innocent people and children around the world every day for decades. half the population doesn't even know what the fuck is going on. if there were a draft they would be paying attention.
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.
How is starting a war of aggression supposed to “protect freedoms”?
MAGAts: Logic, not even once.
His daughter can be drafted first.
You first, fucko.
The freedom to bomb brown people in the name of Israel?
The freedom to serve the ownership class while owning nothing ourselves?
Seems like a bad deal to me. I know who I'll be pointing my gun at if they force me to go to war.
He goes first.
Lets draft all those who voted for Trump first. They brought up this mess, they should clean it.
Rob Schneider is a pedo!
You good to go as well then Rob? No? Then STFU.
Its free to say nothing.
He's been a piece of shit for a long time but I also wonder if shit like this is a conservative cash grab. Like he's gonna start saying the reason he doesn't make as much money as he wants is liberal backlash to the horrendous shit he says, as opposed to him just being a nepo hack. Then waits for conservative offers to roll in and plaster his face around their circuit of ghouls for easy money.
There's a pretty good argument that the reason public support for the Vietnam War was so low was because of the draft. Compared to Iraq/Afghanistan, the all-volunteer military in those wars meant that public opinion was largely indifferent. You can do a lot more damage to the world when your population is indifferent to what you do with your military, so there's a good argument that a draft would be bad for those in power. But we're living in the upside-down now so a draft would probably help Trump for some insane reason.
Lets start drafting the idiots who lust for war, and the sons and daughters of those who jerk off furiously to the war, then see how hot to trot idiots are for war.
Barron should deffo be part of the first wave. Trump wants to be a king, then sending his Son off to war to make a man of him is the logical conclusion in the new might makes right world. Surely prince Barron is not a coward?
The freedom to die in pointless wars?
Oh wait he's rich, he's talking about his freedom that poor people need to die for... makes sense...
