Trending & News Not sure where you are from but in the U. S. I'm not aware of the draft being activated and we are still on voluntary service. I say this because I am a veteran and would more than likely get a letter before that since they already trained me. Also we have provisions now that put debts like that on hold while you serve in situations like that. It's why they ask if people are military when applying for a loan. Not to mention we get pd while serving and costs are minimal when deployed. The feed you and provide you with the basic gear you need
I am in the Army. Here is what they give us. We receive what is known as BAH or Basic Housing Allowance. It is an extra monthly payment based on the postal code of your primary residence on record. Every post has several buildings dedicated to various admin tasks. Refered to as Finance, or Legal these buildings provide military, DOD Civilian, and contractors who are specialized various admin tasks. Basically free lawyers and accountants. Each battalion also has an S1 section of administrators who can also help with Finances, or legal.
Auto pay or find someone you can trust like your family that can help you. There is also the option to frezze your phone, internet bills till you get back
I got you. Just give me all the food I need, I will pay for ya (with the money you give me to pay it, ofc). 😌
Yea right, sounds like a scam ๐
No but I feel like the way shit is going, I might be forced into the military
Yea but damn these mfs won't even pay my bills to simply keep my credit, makes me not care about this country honestly, like would I even care if I become a traitor to the United States for deserting if I reject the draft?
Well, the thing is, if you are active duty, you live on base. If you are a married active duty member, you get a house on base.
If you are reserved, you can live with civilians.
As for if the men get drafted, and canโt pay their bills, I advice letting the people you owe money know what is going on.
Or I get locked up and fed for life ๐
Free water, power and food and company, you living the dream lol
Yea okay fine ๐

They pay you a salary, until you get killed. But if you're dead, bills will be the least of your problems.
First the military pays its soldiers, next most banks will work with active military personnel to defer payments while deployed ocer seas.
The US draft wonโt work with modern warfare.
even worse than CROWs
So I'm chillin?
Yes just chill
Also as @SaoirseS says stuff gets paid.
In the UK we have a pretty decent setup which I am going over.

Alright if I get drafted ima send you a Russians tongue in the mail, I'll cut it off myself just for you ๐
Weren't boomers the ones that were getting salty for small things on the internet lol
No I remember now, when you told them OKAY BOOMER, it used to trigger them lol
Well if you had a boomer come up to you and treat you like a dumbest simply cause you were younger, you wouldn't be able to fight the temptation of calling them a boomer just to piss em off lol
I see, when I was younger like 16 or 17 it always bothered me, but now I hate everyone equally ๐
I'm not ๐
๐๐
Lol indeed, goodnight
You won't get drafted, lol.
Don't worry about it.
Alright like I told chrismaster down there, if I get drafted I'm mailing you a Russians tongue
Use auto pay for your bills.
Yea but I won't have a job, how will I pay
I'm not working so I'm not getting paid so how am I gonna pay monthly?
Don't be so sure, a world War seems the only way out of this Ukraine situation, cause if we don't fight he will try dictating everything and it will turn into a world war, if we decide to get involved, it will turn into a world war and world wars always require drafting cause the wars are huge
I feel like this is the beginning of a world war honestly
Well as long as they pay over 500 dollars a month I guess I'll be fine, not like ima be using my car tho
Don't draftees get paid less tho, I didn't volunteer, I was forced in that mf ๐
You are quite helpful tho, you know too much ๐
Then wtf is the selective service paper I received at 18 was for?
Sounds to me like I can still get drafted
I wouldn't see any other reason I'd need to register
yeah there's no way ANY president or congress will re-instate the draft. it would be political suicide. protests would erupt immediately.
I just don't know anything about the government, I don't depend on them at all so I never really cared what they say or do, it's why I don't do research, it's why I don't know much about it, not to mention the government is just so annoying and confusing with all their stupid little documents
by the way if I sound angry or someshit, I'm not, this is just how it looks when I don't use emojis
I searched it up and it says that in a national emergency the act of congress can still reinstate a draft ๐
Am I missing something here? Lol
i mean sure if we got invaded for instance.. but lets be real thats extremely unlikely to happen.
Just cause they haven't done it since 1973 doesn't mean they won't do it again, by law I think they can still do it, it makes sense like this tho cause in a national emergency it won't matter what people think, you either die fighting or you die with the country, I don't find it so unlikely, putin is like another Hitler, egotistical and blinded by power, there's no limit to what he can do, as his country grows bigger his head might as well and he might start trying to take over other countries, all I know is that putin is dangerous with power and a world war isn't too far off the table in my opinion
no ones saying they can't do it. they just won't do it. as explained it's extremely unpopular.
y'all are looking at it in a different way than me, y'all are thinking with the mentality of "probably", I'm thinking with the mentality of "what if" this is just gonna go back and forth, I'll stop wasting you folks time.
I don't know how y'all have been living but I expect the worst, I don't hope on the best so no matter how many times you tell me it's unlikely, I will always be thinking of that small percentage that's likely, it's why I'm stopping this here, I understand what y'all are saying but I feel weird about this situation and I feel like something is up.
sounds like an irrational fear you have tbh
If youโre that afraid of it, go enlist now. For the service of your choice. In a specialty of your choice for which youโre qualified. This is not a national emergency. The military has not issued a Stop-loss order. There is no recall of Inactive Ready Reserves. Reserve and National Guard units have not been federalized under Title 10. If nothing else, if the democrats propose it the republicans will kill it just because Biden wants it. Iโm in the National Guard. Iโm not worried about it.
It's not a fear but more of an instinct to survive, I wasn't a very good person growing up, I didn't depend on hospitals, I didn't depend on authorities, schools, friends, and my family wasn't aware of my lifestyle so my gut feeling is all I listened to, it's what's kept me alive til now and I'm getting an odd vibe from this situation, somethings up, I don't know what
y'all aren't thinking ahead, what results can this lead too, shit can get serious real quick, this man can bomb every country, he has the bombs to do so, y'all are misunderstanding, I'm talking about the future not right now, think ahead after Ukraine is destroyed, he will possibly move to Finland and Poland as well if he wants the old Russian empire back and where will it go from there, who will eventually get involved, there's many unanswered questions
There's a lot of lives at stake and something as simple as an ego trip can take millions of lives
The way he threatened every country with consequences is a sign that this man is dangerous with power, just committing such a selfish act shows how dangerous he is, he is killing innocent people for his own selfish reasons, just cause it's not us now doesn't mean it's not gonna be us in the future.
All it takes is for biden to make the wrong move
y'all trust that man with your lives? With your families lives?
I don't lol
Alright, we will see what happens, only one way to find out
As long as thereโs no boots on the ground we are solid.
Now if Putin does something really dumb and invades a nato country then yeah shit will get real. But Putin is t dumb. He knows not to do that.
Does he really tho? Because taking over a country during a pandemic wasn't a very smart move either ๐
Its not smart but notโฆ that dumb. Ukraine isn't part if nato, it has no nukes. Its right in their door step. He probably figured it would be an easy gain. But he's vastly underestimated the response of he's gotten by allies around the world and the Ukrainian peoples resilience
Wait y'all should've lead with the fact that this mf was broke ๐
Yeah waging war is really expensive lol.
This whole convo could've ended just with that, aw man, I wanted to get drafted lowkey tho
I wasn't really worried cause I would've just sold my car if I couldn't afford it, or have someone sell it for me, I was just kinda bored tbh, good convo tho lol
We will see. I hope not. I heard there was heavy fighting not in kyiv but in their 2nd largeest city.
On the other hand Iโve heard damning reports of a lot of their equipment not working or tanks running completely out of gasoline. The logistics i think was also underestimated it seems.
Why are people exaggerating things then, that's the last time I listen to anyone smh, I made myself look like a fool, can he even afford to drop another bomb? ๐
Canโt attest to the accuracy but this looks reasonable
https://apple.news/ASXHS-i5dRvq8DzU_BA11ng
Yup accurate
Wait so why is this egg headed bastard threatening other countries if he broke?
He can't even afford those words
Like i said he probably thought it would be easy peasy
What consequences? He is gonna put us in the corner?
He threatened with his nuclear weapons, thing is our country isn't just gonna swallow the bombs like a good boy, they would fight back we probably would have gotten involved if he didn't threaten, I think biden got scared, either ways jit broke so it don't matter, we still gotta see what happens tho, anything can happen.
I know my point is that the threat was more with his nuclear weapons, not invasion ๐
Yeah MAD (mutually assured destruction) is still very much a thing from the cold war days
https://youtu.be/YAlBxzw45cE
Good video showing how bad the Russians are with the logistics of this invasion
the same way as everyone else has done long before you or your parents were born.
You figure it out.
I asked my dad a similar question, and he said you can pay them ahead of time or through the internet
You don't. There's national guard members who lost their homes, jobs and marriages due to the near constant deployment of the guard overseas
That's so fucked up, so you risk your life to fight for them and they can't simply do you a favor by paying your bills?
Basically yeah but it's a major issue with the national guard right now. The guard is really for state defence, state or national emergencies but the US government currently deploys the guard as its the regular military and tour of dutys are 12 months Long.
So my credit will just get fucked up?
If its that bad that you get drafted your credit score will be the least of your worries.
Besides it's ex vetreans that will get drafted first. Besides the US military has 1.4 million personal with 8000 in reserve, I think that's plenty.
But it will become one of my main worries if I get back home
You'll never get drafted so stop whining.
Making yourself out to be a victim when you're the kind of guy we wouldn't even want in the military.
Shut up pussy
Boy, we don't want whiny babies in the military. You're safe.
And the comment about mailing someone a Russians tongue, that's more than a couple war crimes.
We don't want you.
Enjoy your car and don't ever worry about being mistaken for a man.
You are the one hiding like a bitch tho, I'd die for my country, you'd desert like a coward, you old crippled bastard
Scared to even show your monstrosity of a face aren't you?
Um... I served plenty of years. Medically retired from injuries while serving, I'll be disabled for the rest of my life and I still spar with guys in their twenties. Boys like you are all bullshyt and haven't produced anything with their life and living off someone else's hard work.
You got a few things right, I'm a bastard, I'm crippled and I'm old.
You'd not last a day in the military.
Quit puffing up your "never accomplished anything" chest and leave the hard work to those who have already proven themselves.
You are very disrespectful for being disciplined in the military, you deserve what you got, I have no sympathy for you, keep being a dick and see what else life got for you.
You are proud to serve your government? All these people? You lost your legs for nothing dude, you are just a slave to the government, it's all you were, i don't want to be in the military, you are enslaving yourself to the government, killing yourself physically and mentally for a selfish society that will never see what you did for them, you are bragging about it like anyone wants to be you, it's why I changed my mind about joining the military, I apologize for my behavior, I just cooled down a bit and I apologize for what you went through but stop being a dick, it's not gonna bring your legs back
I accept your apology.
The people I did help save appreciated what I did.
I'd do it again.
If it was you in trouble... I'd still get on the helicopter.
I'll back off and leave you to it.
Society would eat you alive simply cause you are kind hearted and have honor, people take advantage of that, it's why I stopped believing in our country, to you it might have been worth it but was it worth it for your family, the people you care about? Now they see their son with no legs and people are still as selfish, thanks for your service tho but I would never put my family to suffer, for random people, It's just not worth it to me.
How is asking a hypothetical question being a victim?
I wasted time on this opinion, I'd be a dick if I let you go down the same path, don't worry about it ๐
Sigh... I hate my government, I love my country.
Country ain't perfect, neither are the citizens.
I joined the military when I was young and naive.
I've seen a lot of suffering..
Sometimes we caused it.
In the middle of the chaos I decided to stay and minimize the evil done.
I got hurt.
You're young, I don't expect you to know the meaning of sacrifice.
One day you will. Hopefully it won't be a painful lesson.
I don't regret what I did at all.
I've helped many people.
No one has taken advantage of me (except exwives).
I'm not a slave to anyone.
I have a choice day by day.
Be thankful that there are old bastards that know how to cause utter devastation standing between you and threats.
I joined the military when the soviets were the major threat.
I've seen a lot of shyt.
Kid, I just hope you have a good life but appreciate what you have.
The thing is you sacrifice meant nothing, if you are gonna sacrifice yourself, at least do it for something worth it, this is where we have the disagreement, you thought it was worth it for these people, I know it's not, and that's where it stands, agree to disagree
hahaha no lol
why would anyone listen to the satanic government
The United States does not use a draft
Your family that you trust
With your military salary.
your bad luck
Luck doesn't exist
