I feel like this could backfire because if we draft him that means they get to draft us too.
Anyway, why draft young people anyway? Isn’t the west suffering from an aging population with a bunch of medical expenses? Throw them into the war theater. Maybe they all die, so what? Clear some minefields with boomers.
Play FORTUNATE SON.
…these are two different songs right? I’m a post 9/11 kid so I just… is fortunate son really a song or is it the name of a movie? Hold up, I gotta google this and get to the bottom of it.
Google AI:
Fortunate Son (2011) is an autobiographical documentary directed by Tony Asimakopoulos that chronicles his struggle with severe drug addiction and his attempt to rebuild relationships with his Greek immigrant parents in Montreal. The film provides an intimate, often intense look at family dysfunction and personal recovery
This can’t be right… I thought it was like an 80s Vietnam movie thing.
Now I’m starting to question if the Vietnam war was really in Vietnam. Or was it in Korea? I’m so confused right now.

Fortunate Son (1969)
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
They're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief"
They point the cannon at you, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one
Some folks are born, silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, yeah
But when the taxman comes to the door
The house look a like a rummage sale
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one
Yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes
They send you down to war
And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?"
They only answer, "More, more, more"
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no military son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, one
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one
