My sister also posted that the US should bring back the draft, so that the Trump family could dodge it again.

Fixed for her

Trump couldn't help it that the ONE DAY IN HIS LIFE that he happened to suffer from bone spurs was, unfortunately, the day he took his draft physical.  The US could have won the war in Vietnam so much that the US would have gotten tired of winning.

I thought God was everywhere?

And he's a rat bastard who loves killing people, as the examples showed.

Wouldn't the obvious message be America is being punished for electing such a sinful, heathen leader?

Tbf, my two oldest sisters' husbands were in the Army (non of them saw combat action, even though one of them served 25 years till 2009 or so). My oldest sister's two oldest sons were in the Navy,  and her other two in the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (though it looks neither of them will join the military for realz). My middle sister's daughter is married to an Army Sgt. So "the military is good for you" runs in their blood.

Somebody needs to break it to her that her family lives off of money paid by others.  They should be in favour of a proper taxation system.

They probably had grandparents, and great-grand parents in the military as well.  How well did it work out for them?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

There were properly drafted to defend the Vaterland. They had little time to whine about taking away money from rich people. The Germans preferred hyperinflation to do that anyway, rather than just taking it, so clearly this policy was a success.

Yes arming and militarizing the angry poor. That's worked great for rich people in the past :P

My sister shared that video. It seems to be a Fox News segment about such camps. She commented that she wouldn't be surprised if the next major terror attack in the US would come from one of these camps.

I mean according to that link the FBI publicly released their location almost two years ago. I guess Islamic Jihad just wants its terrorists really really well trained.
