"The draft is coming. If you don't want to fight and die for Israel, there is always the Ukrainian way — kidnapping people off the streets." That post hit 1,555 upvotes because Americans are watching Ukraine and seeing their future.
In Ukraine, military-age men are being grabbed off streets, pulled from cars, and taken from their homes for forced conscription. Videos of men being physically dragged to recruitment centers have gone viral. This is what a desperate government looks like when it runs out of volunteers — and the US is deploying thousands of troops to a conflict with no end in sight.
3,500 troops deployed. Then more. Then more. Iran isn't Iraq or Afghanistan — it's a country of 88 million people with actual military capability. A ground war with Iran would require hundreds of thousands of troops. The all-volunteer force has been struggling to meet recruitment goals for years. The math doesn't work without conscription.
Vietnam started with "advisors." Korea started with a "police action." Every major American war began with limited involvement and escalated until conscription became necessary. The troops being sent today are the opening move, not the endgame.
