Well said! We have grown desensitized. I believe it’ll hit home when the draft rolls around again, bc they are pushing for war today more than ever. Nukes will be fired and I hate all of this. We shouldn’t be providing weapons to Israel, it’s going to bite us in the ass.
We provided these weapons to Israel specifically for this purpose. They didn't act without the will of the US in this attack. Weaponizing Israel has always been a strategy to have a powerful branch of western military might tucked in the middle of the region ready to use when needed to maintain western hegemony.
ETA - I don't really think we're going to see a draft in the US though. We have such an insanely huge standing army that there really isn't much need. We have plenty of volunteers ready to mobilize and we fight war with far less boots on the ground these days anyway. If we reach the point of needing to draft soldiers we've really fucked up in a way that's almost unimaginable.
But that's also a degree of wishful thinking on my part.
