A lot of zoomers are getting too old to be drafted for the front lines now at least. But hell, knowing how much the ruling class loves killing kids we might have to worry more about protecting Gen Alphas

The draft age goes up to 35 iirc so still the majority of millennials

It's 18-26 for draft service. 17-45 is the emergency militia range. Which means anyone over 26 will be press ganged into national guard status after the current waves are deployed.

In Ukraine they've successfully demonstrated that drafting 26-65 is easier. I wouldn't put it past them to change the draft age in order to reduce resistance.

Holy hell I thought it was way lower. Like 16-25 years old for front lines.

I need to educate myself.

Wow so I could be drafted. That would be wild. Imagine my owl ass on a battlefield I'd probably accidentally explode myself or something.

In Ukraine they're drafting 55 year olds. 👀

I thought I was safe when I turned 36 I-was-saying

You were thinking of the normal recruitment age. For a draft the range is higher.

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 13 points 5 days ago

Draft is whatever they want/need. Recruitment will be exhausted first, then they'll expand it. Older people will get drafted based on profession (medical professionals will be drafted at basically any age).

I think the ruling class learned in Ukraine that drafting older people has less resistance than drafting young people.

I would not put it past them to create an army of 26-65 and leave the young out of it in order to reduce resistance.
