The "domino theory" of communism never played out the way they said it would. Just a waste of blood and treasure.
Any time someone brings up the draft I remind them the last time the U.S. did a draft it was for a war that they lost, and justified due to things that never actually happened after the U.S. lost.
So basically the U.S. enslaved and sent tens of thousands of people to their deaths for no reason.
They then abolished the draft due to public pressure but a little bit later started selective service registration just in case
Draftees make horrible soldiers, especially in unpopular wars which, lets be honest, have been all of the US' military engagements since 1945. I think the military would rather do without them and the grenades that tend be dropped into the tents of sleeping COs.
Which is the same as the draft just renamed
Ha ha, I just looked it up: there are five Domino's Pizza restaurants in Vietnam.
Well it largely never played out because western capitalists spilled so much blood making sure it wouldn’t. If people had been free to decide for themselves, many more countries would have gone communist, as it has better outcomes for the majority of people than capitalism.
The military industrial complex needs its regular sacrifice every decade to keep the black heart pumping.
