I'm not sure why you've decided to throw this in. It seems that you're implying that a group of people are entirely too stupid to think for themselves. That's similar to how people claim that liberals are kinda brainwashed and sissy. If I said, "If Putin attacks, you can grab your soy mocha latte and go hide in the basement with Biden", would that be fair? These types of sentiments are what serve to further divide Americans and I don't understand why [you] insist on division.

From what I can tell, "Trump supporters" and "conservatives" are very pro-America and very pro-second amendment. Regardless of what the former President were to hypothetically say, I am convinced 100% that "Trump supporters" would fight for our country.

Would you?


(And please don't make assumptions about me. I'm a non-partisan voter.)

Does the U.S. even have enough properly trained military personnel to legitimately respond to Russian evil?

Are you serious???? How many military personnel do you think we have? One person per state?

According to Google, we have 1.4 million and Russia has 1.5 million. Now take into consideration the size of our countries, the quality of equipment, and quality of the training.

Will the U.S. Selective Service registration for men soon grow to mean a mandatory few years training for our young men?

What makes you think this? The selective service hasn't been used for 50 years. It wasn't needed for the last few wars, not even after we took a direct hit in 9/11. According to the USO, "...181,510 Americans enlisted in the ranks of active duty service, and 72,908 joined the enlisted reserves in the year following Sept. 11". (https://www.uso.org/stories/2849-why...n-the-military)

That's 250,000 people who volunteered after 9/11. So, even if we came under attack, don't you think we'd have a wave of people stepping up?

And will selective service grow to include training for women, or just their registration?

I suppose you haven't been following the news. Including women in the selective service was proposed last year and ended up getting voted down.


Look, I don't mean to be so hard on you -- your post comes off almost as scared. (???) Maybe you are afraid that Russia will nuke us? I'm not going to say that will never happen. Maybe it will, who knows? What I do know is that we are one country TOGETHER. Cowering and pointing fingers at each other is not going to help. If we get attacked then it's not time for Trump this and Biden that....it's time for TEAM AMERICA.
