   @gwensnyder.bsky.social I kinda see this as intentional, but not the path to a draft. Having a drafted army would be a nightmare for them. They don't want a military comprised of a random sampling of young people who are unlikely to agree with them or obey. They want to drive out everyone but the psychopaths who are in it for the license to commit extreme violence, and to do this, you make it so everything else about it sucks and the only perk is getting to do the violence.

     @dalias @gwensnyder I've never thought of it that way.
