In 1965 Viet Nam seemed just like another foreign war - the average age of a soldier was 19 – in 2024 – Democratic Party restores the draft to fight in Ukraine AND Russia - for men only - 18 and 26?
History doesn’t repeat but it rhymes. The Democratic Party is the party of war.
From here:
House Quietly Passes Bill to Automatically Register Men 18-26 for Draft – Read More News
Brought by a Democrat:
““By using available federal databases, the [Selective Service] agency will be able to register all of the individuals required and thus help ensure that any future military draft is fair and equitable,” Houlahan argued during the debate, as reported by Défense News.”
“This will also allow us to rededicate resources — basically that means money — towards reading readiness and towards mobilization … rather than towards education and advertising campaigns driven to register people.”
“American philosopher George Santayana said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" in his work The Life of Reason: The quote's popularity may also be attributed to its use in William Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.”
Onwards!!!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all the hardworking dad's out there.
Hi Peter,
This is insane! American solders do not belong in Ukraine or Russia.
A true nightmare is to be a soldier, working for scoundrels and imbeciles.
In World War 1, infantry and even cavalry were slaughtered in their millions because idiot British and French Generals could not grasp that artillery and machine guns easily dispatched men advancing slowly over a mile of open ground. The French lost 100,000 men killed at Vimy Ridge over several years of stalemate before the Canadians took it in three days with ~4000 dead - superior tactics. and much smarter Generals.
The intellectual destruction of the American government is truly dystopian - they seem to have lost their collective mind and are bent on self-destruction. Canada is worse.
