My thoughts are that once Trump picks a fight in some backwater country and starts a war and hits these same angry young men with a draft, you’ll likely see a lot of them changing their tune.
School is one thing, but the culture of the last 30 years has been decidedly tilted towards being cautious and wary of risk.
Right now, they think it’s cool to be tough and callous about life and since most of the men that actually fought fascism are now dead, this is when generational amnesia takes over. It was inevitable we’d swing in this direction.
How far it goes before the hot young things see the actual costs of this political viewpoint - and start paying it themselves, is the question of the day…
Hmmm.

There won’t ever be a draft unless it’s a real war with China or equivalent. The US won Iraq without a draft.
I’m not sanguine qbout that. Young men are still required to register with Selective Service to this day
When that requirement for is gone, I’ll believe that a draft isn’t a possiblility.
