There will come a time when the world will be so over populated that every country in the world will have a mandatory draft.
But this time the age limit will be picked from the other end of your life
Ex:
Everybody over the age of (let say 55) will have to sacrifice their life for their country to save the planet
There will be no excuses like:
O! I have flat feet
O! I have bad eye sight
O! I have this and that and etc.
You won?t be able to run to a different country, they will reject you there too.
So what will you do?

Will mandatory wars be necessary? People are dying to know.[:D]
With that said, I have always liked the idea of letting our political leaders do the fighting in the next war! PROBABLY not going to happen but it would sure help drain the swamp in a way where they could even get battle ships and high schools named after them![:)]
I once took an oath and would still go all the way if events warranted it to be.

Ditto on all points. There are a lot of "ifs" that would have to be satisfied before I would do it now.
When the population surpasses the Earth's ability to feed them the population will decline. You can cross that off your list of things to worry about. [;)] [:)]

You can bet your bottom dollar, if the leaders and members of congress or similar were the only ones allowed to fight in a war .... there would no longer be any wars.

LoL just not true. I have seen them damn near riot at some of the parliamentary proceedings. Hate knows no boundaries.
And the peasants would still fight and riot. But it sure is a fun thing to imagine, leaders actually leading in good or bad times.

ps: That's a VERY deceptive thread title.
1. Democrats go first.
2. Illegal immigrants go next.
3. Liberals go next. (If any left after no. 1)
4. Muslims next.
I think that will be far enough to make the world a better habitat for another million years.
But suggested scenario will never happen as the world will end itself before being that populated.
Supposed to leave infrastructure relatively unscathed with a short-duration uninhabitable period.
Suggest we try DC as the first test site; I figure you'd really hafta Want to be there after that![:)]
