The draft dodger is considering bringing back the draft for his war in Iran.
Quote:Karoline Leavitt did not dismiss the notion that President Donald Trump could reinstate the draft for his war on Iran.
While speaking with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday, the White House press secretary said that mandatory conscription for military service was not “off of the table.”
“Mothers out there are worried that we’re going to have a draft, that they’re going to see their sons and daughters get involved in this,” Bartiromo, 58, said. “What do you want to say about the president’s plans for troops on the ground?”
“President Trump wisely does not remove options off of the table—I know a lot of politicians like to do that quickly," Leavitt, 28, said. “But the president, as commander-in-chief, wants to continue to assess the success of the military operation.”
“It’s not part of the current plan right now, but the president, again, wisely keeps his options on the table,” she added.
Leavitt’s statements quickly drew criticism on social media, with many taking her words to mean that military conscription was imminent.
“How about the answer is NO DRAFT AND NO BOOTS ON THE GROUND because we campaigned on NO MORE FOREIGN WARS OR REGIME CHANGE!!!” wrote Marjorie Taylor Greene, former Georgia House representative and a GOP rebel. “Liars every single one of them! Not my son, over my dead body!!!!!”
“By the way a bunch of psycho Republicans want to not only draft your sons but your daughters too!!!!!” Greene added in a separate post on her personal X account. “Send Lindsey Graham, Mark Levin, and Laura Loomer and ALL the murderous blood thirsty maniacs that support this America LAST WAR.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
