What does that mean, how can he be excused from military service if the military is already volunteer only?

Foreshadowing
There’s definitely going to be a draft and we’re all going
Remember to clog the toilets with t-shirts and frag your superior officers
One time we were playing blades in the dark and I rigged a frag grenade to the lever mechanism in a toilet
I don’t think I’m allowed anymore… something about joining the military for free hormones and surgeries?
Anyone got any spare estrogen I could have?
Well, not all of you ….
I plan on doing the Malcolm X routine and tell the recruiter how I plan on radicalizing the poc troops to come home and overthrow the government.
The day I went down there, I costumed like an actor. With my wild zoot suit I wore the yellow knob-toe shoes, and I frizzled my hair up into a reddish bush of conk.
I went in, skipping and tipping, and I thrust my tattered Greetings at that reception desk's white soldier -- "Crazy-o, daddy-o, get me moving. I can't wait to get in that brown" -- very likely that soldier hasn't recovered from me yet.
.....
Suddenly, I sprang up and peeped under both doors, the one I'd entered and another that probably was a closet. And then I bent and whispered fast in his ear. "Daddy-o, now you and me, we're from up North here, so don't you tell nobody. . . . I want to get sent down South. Organize them n***er soldiers, you dig? Steal us some guns, and kill us crackers!"
That psychiatrist's blue pencil dropped, and his professional manner fell off in all directions. He stared at me as if I were a snake's egg hatching, fumbling for his red pencil. I knew I had him. I was going back out past Miss First when he said, "That will be all."
Damn, I never knew he was so funny.
I'm about 2/3rds of the way through his autobiography and it's very good just from an entertainment perspective. Plenty of other good stuff in there too, of course.
Well come on mothers throughout the land
Pack your boys off to ~~Vietnam~~ Iran (again!)
Come on fathers don't hesitate
Send them off before it's too late
Be the first one on your block

Country Joe McDonald and the Fish!!!Haven't heard that song since the '70s - there must be a wealth of songs from back then that are equally fitting to politics today 🤔....
...and it's one, two, three What are we fighting for? Don't ask me, I don't give a damn, Next stop is I-I-ran!
Thanks for a most welcome 'earworm', lol!
Been trying to teach it to the next generation - fun reminder that time is a flat circle and you’re always disposable to porky!
"GIMME AN F! GIMME A U! GIMME A C! GIMME A K! WHAT'S THAT SPELL? WHAT'S THAT SPELL?"
I actually got to meet and really hang out with Country Joe for a while. He was a chill dude. Definitely a lib, but a "heart in the right place" kind of lib. But truth be told, at the time so was I.
That’s awesome! Yeah there aren’t enough protest songs that haven’t been co-opted to hell and back, and this one always hits for me. Fuck imperialism
Why would Trump let his son act like a sucker and loser?
I understand Trump. Barron is the only son that didnt turn out weird. Gotta protect the hope of the dynasty. Send one of the other large adult sons as a tribute to the gods of war.
Isn't he the one who's tried to stab kids at sleepovers, and abuses animals?
didnt turn out weird.
He's pals with Andrew Tate
I didnt know that. He seemed like such a nice boy when I met him
Yeah, it's crazy to think that Andrew Tate could have turned out like this, isn't it?
Yeah, sorry - these guys are corrupting.
You dont even know or not if hes weird yet. Hes jsut now coming of adult age
yeah, but he's been dealt a losing hand on this one. Not that it isn't possible to overcome, but still
I just had an image of Eric trump while his arms flailing as he’s poking out of an M-1 Abrams turret as it refuses to stop rotating.
Time to start spreading sabo tactics for military personnel.
in other news, there's been a mass outbreak of bonespurs
So, serious question comrades. If there's a draft, do I just tell them to fuck off and take me to prison, or are we supposed to wait till they give us guns and then play an epic prank with the guns?
Hypothetically in Bad Rats: The Rats' Revenge ofc
You should do the latter.
If there is a draft, that is a large group of armed men that don't really want to be there.
Hypothetically you should see if you can find some friends to pull a prank with, group pranks are more ~~effective~~ fun than solo pranks
Epic prank, for sure.
Send the large boy atop an elephant
When Trump first became president in 2016, I predicted that he will start a war, and a draft. Here we go...
Are bonespurs genetically ? is this the curse of the trump bloodline ?
I did not know bone spurs were genetic.
