Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
this is unironically one of my fears
And the morale of the US Army will be low.
In the event of a US draft, I hope sergeants and officers are light sleepers, what with all those very resentful and recently armed soldiers around.
Who cares, send the naysayers in first as a meat shield with truebelieving nazis in the rear with orders to shoot any who retreat. This is how it is done in Ukraine
Oh don't worry, the moment that they need cannon fodder, they'll drop enlistment standards like a rock.
Or even pull a Robert Strange McNamara (No really, that's his middle name).
All that enlistment propaganda paying dividends
That seems weird, the US has more soldiers than China if you count reserves and more than Russia no matter how you count. Is this talking about simultaneous wars with both?
and what for? A full scale land invasion??
Hey Gen Z, curious about a $5000 missile vs a $5,000,000 missile?
