Proposal: Income-based draft. If you earn more than $1M in a year, you are immediately registered and enlisted as a member of the infantry and must serve on the front lines of whatever the current conflict is. See how fast things change then.

Funnily enough prior to World War I, the rich often bought commissions so they can fight in the military. Obviously they were officers but still kinda funny how much the rich have changed.

$1M a year isn’t that much, you can get there without being exploitative. We need to be directing our anger towards billionaires, not moderately wealthy people.

@8. No, they didn’t. Perhaps you’d know that if you didn’t think Google counts as a source with merit. 😂

I know how much it is. Hence why that’s the number.

I guess that would give people quite the incentive to avoid armed conflict and stop perpetuating a masturbatory military-industrial state, huh?

Your number is wrong. You can make 7 figures without having the capacity to exploit people.

Officers weren’t on the front lines. You are describing the exact opposite.

Yikyak niggas legitimately think that giving the military more draftees is going to stop the military-industrial complex

Now yes, but in the past they absolutely were. In fact, the nobility and upper class actually suffered a higher casualty rate than the working class in WW1.

Also officers are on the frontline idk why you think they aren’t. Unless they’re generals of course.

Senior officers absolutely did not fight on the frontlines in WW1.

Casualty rate is a little misleading because there are obviously less rich people fighting than the countless impoverished people especially in WW1
