it's wild to me how ukranians are balking at this despite being at war; but it's 100% a-okay for us americans.

I mean, we haven't had a draft in a long time. If we did there would be many people, including me, very much not a-okay with it, even though I'm likely over the age they would draft.

Thanks. I'm way over but if shit hit the fan I have no doubt they would increase it. Probably not to 41 though.
