people wouldnt even bother burning their draft cards. they would just crumple them up and throw them away in greasy burger king bags.

the draft only works in ukraine because the great majority of their draftees are compliant. americans wouldn't just be noncompliant; they'd take sadistic glee in catching and tormenting the draft officers cartel-style.

If we're talking about Iran or some other bullshit imperial war yeah no one would show up except some older millennials and gen xers.

If we were in a defensive land war like Ukraine there would be traffic jams for hundreds of miles from armed volunteers rushing to the front line.

the border patrol militias of the 00's managed to recruit like 400 guys total across several groups and then fell apart. americans don't actually care IRL about foreign invaders.

The fact that these groups did form to protect against illegal immigrants and you're still conflating that with a military invasion proves how much enthusiasm America has for protecting itself.

Can't have this debate again with another Gov Abbot ARE INVASIONmo. If you can't see the difference how an ordinary citizen would react to individuals trying to sneak in and then blend in versus a large hostile group taking things by force, that's on you. I know you can and you're being obtuse.

i'm saying it doesn't matter, because the theoretical event of 'invasion' is not how an invasion would actually play out. the lack of response to the actual reality of modern invasion is evidence of revealed preference.

The biggest "invasion" we've seen is the cumulative effect of immigration on our demographics, spirituality, and way of life. Immigration without assimilation is invasion.

It does matter. An ordinary citizen can't defend against immigration because they don't have the power to depoet people and they're less likely to actually shoot some desperate unarmed beaner family trying to come pick strawberries. However they would be willing to shoot at a group of armed people coming to do their family and their neighbors active harm.

Whether the "invasion" of illegals is ultimately just as destructive doesn't change that. It's like how vigilante groups aren't forming to police ghettos but people WILL shoot a dindu who tries to invade their home.

I consider it analogous to extortion vs. robbery: Large-scale immigration over a relatively short period of time is like extorting someone whereas a literal 50k+ invasion of illegals is like robbery. They're both very serious felonies that are often punished similarly depending on the specific facts and evidence.

It's more like white collar crime versus armed robbery.

If your bank steals $100 from you you're not going go to the local branch and start shooting. Not of the people working there are individually responsible for the theft and they're unarmed and not a imminent physical threat that justifies lethal force.

But if someone entered your home and demanded $100 you would shoot them.

the USA doesn't actually *need* to defend itself militarily at home -- our geography mostly takes care of that for us. It'd be nearly impossible to launch any sort of large-scale invasion and ground campaign. Our biggest risk is asymmetric warfare, and the consequences are already playing out. In the herds of illegals, there are probably Chinese, Iranian, and Russian sleeper cells. We already know about the Israeli ones.

That's fine. I'm just pointing out that comparing Ukraine drafting people for it's defense versus us drafting people to die overseas for Israel is very different, and how much enthusiasm someone would have to participate is night and day.

it's a factor, but there was also a lot more cultural comfort with mass 'conscription' in general, which had been ongoing since the early soviet era. their current situation is more like an extension of what they were already doing rather than something new.

what if a poorly-timed energy crisis were just around the corner? I bet military barracks haves oil in winter. What's the Cushing crude oil inventory at right now? 18M barrels? Isn't the straight of Hormuz still closed? Aren't the Houthis attacking the Saudi shipping channels through the Red Sea? Good thing we've got that 714-million-barrel strategic petroleum reserve. Wait, it's only at 43% capacity? At least there isn't a mid-term election coming up to entice politicians to dump more SPR oil to keep gas prices below $5/gal nationally
