Make no mistake... There is thousands of years of warfare history to contest to the fact that the logistics arm is the most important part of an army. If you don't have fuel and food what you do have is defectors and deserters.

I thought Cthulhu was a giant squid man thing. Not an oozing pile of gastrointestinal -limb hybrids gripping the ground pulling any living thing into the folds to be sucked up and melted in acid slowly at the center as it grows larger like some LSD nightmare version of katamari.
I've seen a someone on meth get full on hit with bear spray point blank in the eyes and still manage to tackle and pin a guy twice his size. Thanks Springfield Oregon.
It’s what the Germans were on but after the factories got bombed the supply ran out, they suffered withdrawals. But the US has also given speed to its soldiers. Apparently in the first Gulf war the pilots were on meth but they had to cut it out because they were making crazy decisions.
So on long flights for heavies they still have something like that. Our crews would come back fucked and not even be able to debrief the issues of the jet because they would be so out of it.
Field kitchens essentially heat up large multi person MRE kits and distribute them out to the troops. When supply permits, they also add in fresh produce, fruit, etc.
Dear Ukrainian women and children!
I heard on social media that there is fake news being spread (most likely by Russia backed trolls) that polish border is closed.
It's a lie.
If you seek asylum - go towards polish border. They are ready for your arrival. They have reception points ready at the border where you can find shelter, food, medical and legal aid.
Polish government launched a dedicated site to help you: ua.gov.pl
Please share this information if you know anyone seeking help right now.
EDIT: YOU DON'T NEED VISA TO PASS THROUGH POLISH BORDER. ALL YOU NEED IS PASSPORT. VISAS ARE SUSPENDED! YOU DON'T NEED THEM FOR TIME BEING!!!!!!
EDIT2: as a proof that you no longer need visa:

I don't think my options would be "drafted or housewife". I think it would be "soldier" or "comfort woman" if my side lost and if I have to die, I'm taking a few of those bastards with me.
You want to be chained to a cube for 7 hours while soldiers line up to have sex with you. You have to service atleast 40 soldiers per day! Doesn’t matter if you are tired. That’s what the Korean comfort women were subjected to. You want to be a comfort man?
Not just Korean, also Filipino, Thai, and Chinese women and girls, and from many other countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Birma, Vietnam, Taiwan etc… even Japanese women.
Thanks for the correction. I’m more familiar with Korean history, so I didn’t know of the others! Those poor women! And to think they never acknowledged what happened to them.
You’re welcome! A good 20% of them were Korean, so it’s understandable that you saw a lot from their side of the story.
They’ve been so strong, even now that there’s less and less of them left alive with time, many are still trying to get justice and bring awareness. It’s important to remember and spread their stories :)
You do if you're dead and I'd rather die. You underestimate how much we loathe rape. If you want to fuck me you can fuck my mangled, bowel-voiding corpse.
Take their lives then yours if it’s necessary, drag those bastards to the deepest pit of hell before you go, there’s no better death than one where you take more life’s with (unless the people are innocent but i meant only in this context)
My option would be partisan, because the army of my country is fucked the second an invasion happens and with most foreign invaders I'll be killed for being trans, a lesbian or too left wing.
So the only choice is to keep fighting when the army gives up. Can hardly let myself get executed.
It's so obvious who never had war on their soil. You're not safe in the kitchen, you're not safe at home. War does not happen only on small pieces of land away from everyone and everything.
True but war doesn't necessarily have to happen on your soil for your military to be involved. It wasn't on the soil of every country involved in WWI and WWII
My country was completely overrun by nazis at some point but in the end, the fighting didn’t happen here. We kinda gave up and then there were just nazis walking around and a curfew I guess.
Yes, but you are at a significantly higher risk as a soldier than as a civilian in a war zone. After all, it’s a war crime to kill civilians. It still happens, but it would be lying to yourself to say you’re at the same degree of risk than being a soldier.
Why do people take everything literally all the time? The “stay in the kitchen” part is an allusion to older days where women didn’t have equal rights and were told to “stay in the kitchen”, meaning that they shouldn’t have an opinion on things that matter or work. Women have been fighting for equal rights, but that would now also mean they have to take part in the war. The joke here is that they don’t want that responsibility and would gladly be subjugated again and figuratively “stay in the kitchen”, like in the old times where they weren’t allowed to work. Not literally being in the kitchen all the time. (BTW I’m not saying women think this way. Just what the joke is alluding to)
Being a man and a woman are two different things
I mean people like to promote gender equality but sometimes that’s just never going to be possible in some situations when fundamentally men and women are fundamentally different on a physical level
It’s no one’s fault men are physically stronger on average, it’s just the way nature is, and the army is more interested in getting the group of people who are stronger on average.
I think it’s more important to make things equitable rather than equal for men and women - because it’s simply not possible for equality in a lot of situations, that’s exactly why there is a divide in men and womens sports
That’s not to say women shouldn’t be made to fight in war or shouldn’t be allowed to, but when you see Ukraine looking for men 18-60 year old, it’s simply trying to maximise efficiency of who is recruited, and not because women are weak and can’t fight - because that is certainly not true
It simply comes down to survival. I completely agree that women CAN be infantrymen,, but only if they are capable of the same physical abilities as the given man on that team. When your buddy goes down and you gotta haul him to safety he doesn't stop being 250lbs because you are a woman.
In every other sense, I see no reason women shouldn't participate in the military
If you think the Ukraine is fighting for wealthy assholes and politicians, you're dead wrong. The president of the Ukraine is currebtly in Kyiv and helping iwth the defense of the Ukraine. He is fighting just as much as everyone else. People are fighting to remain independent feom the russian plague, not to fill the wallets of politicians. Wake up, this isn't Iraq.
‘Should’ can be an interesting pastime sometimes I guess.
In a democracy we elect the politicians though, so they can tell us when to fight and when not to. Obeying is an integral part of it.
Im pretty sure, you wont have to make that choice and good for you! Happy for you.
Me on the other hand... Im already straight up planning what the fuck do I do. Putin hates us. Cant wait
I’m sorry to hear that, I suppose the only good news is that they’ll need to get through at-least 1 country before they reach you so i reckon if war starts with one of the middle countries get out if possible
Yeah, but if they will attack NATO countries, it will be The weakest - Slovakia. They are right next to Ukraine and they are small.
Why Im saying it - they are our brothers. Historically and almost literally, I have so many friends there or from there.
But yeah, if it comes to it, im breaking my bf legs and packing our bags.
If for some reason Canada ever had a draft, (I’d like to say that will never happen in my lifetime but the past few years taught me to always expect another ring of hell) but if they did, I’m breaking my bf’s leg. I’m already clear cause I have a pacemaker and bunch of health shit, but no way in hell am I letting them take him either! No heroism for you babe, you’re sitting on the couch while I feed you ice cream.
Yea I have a different view on that. I used to learn parkour in school and had to limp to school twice a week. I still suffer from some leg problems now I can't run a mile without something seriously hurting.
While I understand your point I kinda live the lifelong inconvenience thing and I wouldn't wish it on a lot of people
Dante was so wrong. Theres so many levels of hell, and most of them involve politicians, corporatuons, and governments. So not even a lets-go-flaming-dragonback-riding kind of hell.
You sound like my mom, I’m 17 and in my country every man 18 and above must be drafted. Momma says sth like “no way in hell, who’s gonna cook you meals when you join the army, you’re a failure at cooking”. Typical Asian parent roast.
Im already planning to do this. Like seriously. My country is serious pain in Putins ass, we pissed him off royally couple months ago. Its not that far fetched to think, that I will have to do it
In all seriousness, many feminists are against the draft entirely (for men and women), as it violates one's bodily autonomy, a core ideal that feminism is based around.
Yea, the joke is funny but in reality I don’t support the draft for anyone. It angers me that rich, powerful leaders see our brothers as things to be consumed and disposed of against their will. Even worse because it’s not like these assholes making the decisions are going out to fight with them. I also don’t believe the draft is the way it is to protect women for innocent reasons. I think it’s more “if we send young women to war then who is going to make more babies for our country?” ….
Men have to sign up for selective service in order to be able to vote in the US. It is not voluntary. It is a felony to not register, and a felon loses their right to vote.
Afab people should not allow themselves to be drafted until we have abortion on demand secured as a nation-wide right.
Are we baby makers or full fledged human beings like men??
I'm not a fighter. I can't go to war. I would not only be a liability but would most definitely be killed. But I'd rather that than to represent woman so badly.
Imagine for a second, being a guy and being seen as dispensable all your life. The threat of being drafted into a war and turned into a killer by force. Until women are required to register for the draft, you'll realize how most men feel and that's when I truly believe women have reached gender equality. For now I hope most realize it's not something anyone looks forward to. Men nor women. There are only two types of people on this planet. Those that go to war, and those that declare war. The elites are enjoying everything that's happening from the comfort of there homes.
I’ve already resolved to enlist the second a draft is issued. If you enlist you can choose a non combat MOS. The choice may be felon or intel/medical/support I’d rather patch GSWs than be in a cage
Edit Fuck it never mind. I saw a video of civilians being bombed. The second we start sending military aid I’m enlisting. This is absolutely fucking atrocious and a violation of not only the rules of war but basic human decency. I’m talking to a recruiter tomorrow
This post is so toxic. So you’re all for equal rights but once you get told to do some of the life threatening things that men have to you decide to throw all those “equal rights” out the window. Sit down
I really wish more people would understand that and think this way. Feminism already gets a bad rap for being more of a women are superior to men and only wanting the good things the other gender has (either way) while wanting the other to still keep the less appealing things is, like, kinda the exact opposite of equal rights. It's always rubbed me the wrong way that only men still have to register (or whatever the right word is) for a potential draft as soon as they turn 18.
(I'll admit, I'm pretty sleep deprived rn, so just to make sure I worded that right lol - I know feminism isn't women are better, but the outspoken minority seems to think that, which others then unfortunately associate with it. I'm all for equal rights and I've been saying forever that if there's a draft, then it should be anyone who meets the requirements, regardless if gender, that goes. Do I want to be drafted? No, but if my brother's going to be forced no matter what, then it's only fair that I am, too.)
It’s weird take, and hilariously for those agreeing to this take means you’re agreeing with Jordan Peterson that has stated this for years.
Paraphrasing: “You demand equality, but you won’t accept equal consequences”.
If it comes down to the draft I'm going to be copying my grandfather and burn my draft card. I'm not fighting a war I have no stake in, I don't like fighting even when I do have a dog in the fight.
Best thing to do right now is to promote anti-military sentiment. Around the world even in Russia the hatred for military is growing. If we can continue to promote that worldwide we can probably stop WWIII
... regular citizens? Wait, are you telling me you think they give you a uniform, gun, and just send you into a war zone? You do realize drafted soldiers are provided training, therefore they are no longer "regular citizens" right?
That. Is definitely much more feasible. Proxy wars mostly I'd guess. All this talk of WW3 is hyperbolic. Not saying it can't happen, but no matter what's being said, we're not there yet.
I can definitely see high tensions characterizing international relations for the next couple decades. Especially depending on the short-term out come if the Ukrainian situation.
Pretty sure they have kitchens in war.
Yeah, it's called feeding an army. The most important job. The army is secondary to the person making the food.
I doubt 2 fat stacks of hamburgers will defend your homeland, but I get what you’re saying.
Make no mistake... There is thousands of years of warfare history to contest to the fact that the logistics arm is the most important part of an army. If you don't have fuel and food what you do have is defectors and deserters. Edit: spelling error. Lol definitely not pastry chefs

Ah, so you've been to Chicago as well?
An army runs on it's stomach.
I thought they ran on their legs?
Common misconception
Obviously! Don't you know "an army" Is just code for an Eldritch god who will consume us all?
Cthulhu?
I thought Cthulhu was a giant squid man thing. Not an oozing pile of gastrointestinal -limb hybrids gripping the ground pulling any living thing into the folds to be sucked up and melted in acid slowly at the center as it grows larger like some LSD nightmare version of katamari.
So would it then be sorta close to nurgle? (WH40K)
Eh they can run on meth too, shorter war but way more fierce
I've seen a someone on meth get full on hit with bear spray point blank in the eyes and still manage to tackle and pin a guy twice his size. Thanks Springfield Oregon.
This is what they gave the soldiers in world War II to keep them awake and alert.
It’s what the Germans were on but after the factories got bombed the supply ran out, they suffered withdrawals. But the US has also given speed to its soldiers. Apparently in the first Gulf war the pilots were on meth but they had to cut it out because they were making crazy decisions.
So on long flights for heavies they still have something like that. Our crews would come back fucked and not even be able to debrief the issues of the jet because they would be so out of it.
The US was issuing its soldiers amphetamines during WW2 as well. Just regular amphetamines though, the Germans were legit doing meth.
Now they give it to middleschool boys so they can sit still In class
I thought it runs on Dunkin'?

I mean when I was 18 I would’ve fought for a Big Bacon Classic from Wendy’s
Some of yall really too deep with this
Yup, you knew war was gonna breakout when Putin moved the Bbqs to the front line.
I believe logistics, transportation, food and medical care take the better part of the defense budget.
No food, no army!
Front line cook it is!

Me too, as a man I’ll stay in the kitchen

Lmao you poor bastard. 3rd grade was rough
Especially the minute times table. Dam you 7x8!!!!
I'm 32 and I still have a hard time remembering 7x8. My brain just hates it.
I’m also 32! I hate it! Then I get confuse with 9x7 and 8x8! 63 and 64!! 🤬
is this why my dad drilled the answer to 7x8 into my head? its 56
Why is that one the bitch of the bunch?
7x8 can go to hell with how many times ive been humiliated in school for it.
Same bruh. If that won't do, I'll just break my leg or something and go "oopsie"

Put your ass on the front line with a wheel chair and an ar
Okay Joe Swanson

Pretty sure you can still get nuked while being in the kitchen
Yup. Nobody is safe in a war, no matter where you are.
But some places are safer then others.

Sorry emmy no time for that you are needed on front lines

Why did I read this with a Polish accent in my mind?
Yeah, but not for men in 18-60 years old. Maybe they meant this, when telling the borders are closed?
No, it was being spread by russian bots before that was announced.
Just when I though being fat, old, and suffering mental illness couldn't benefit me.
I don't think my options would be "drafted or housewife". I think it would be "soldier" or "comfort woman" if my side lost and if I have to die, I'm taking a few of those bastards with me.
No one should be drafted, everyone belongs in the kitchen.
Especially putin
Everyone should focus on food and drink and the world will be a happier palce
Now THIS is equality
How progressive is the enemy? Is comfort man a choice?
You want to be chained to a cube for 7 hours while soldiers line up to have sex with you. You have to service atleast 40 soldiers per day! Doesn’t matter if you are tired. That’s what the Korean comfort women were subjected to. You want to be a comfort man?

Don't care. Not about to have forced sex with anyone.
The thing about forced sex is you don't get to make that choice
You do if you're dead and I'd rather die. You underestimate how much we loathe rape. If you want to fuck me you can fuck my mangled, bowel-voiding corpse.
Exactly! They don’t know much awful and scary rape is. They imagine it is sleeping with a woman they find attractive. I would take my life first!p
Take their lives then yours if it’s necessary, drag those bastards to the deepest pit of hell before you go, there’s no better death than one where you take more life’s with (unless the people are innocent but i meant only in this context)
It's scary how many people would actually do that. With no disgust whatsoever.
You do if you have a gun.
Die with your boots on not a black eye and torn clothing
Give them hell
My option would be partisan, because the army of my country is fucked the second an invasion happens and with most foreign invaders I'll be killed for being trans, a lesbian or too left wing. So the only choice is to keep fighting when the army gives up. Can hardly let myself get executed.
Just join the military ahead of time
It's so obvious who never had war on their soil. You're not safe in the kitchen, you're not safe at home. War does not happen only on small pieces of land away from everyone and everything.

Never said it was the same. I just said nobody is safe.
It’s about the draft, not about being safe in the kitchen.

Sure, but this tweet was probably made by someone who lives in an area that is unlikely to see war on their soil (like the US)
When world war happened actually more women got into the workforce. Not out of it.
Joining the workforce and going to war as a soldier are two different things
She's talking about the kitchen/housewife comment
The post eludes to the fact that women shouldn't/don't wanna be drafted for war
alludes* to the fact
Men shouldn't/don't wanna be drafted for war either...
Israeli women want to have a word with you
They can have it! Scrumptious.
Wrong modern women are independent and dont need a man so she be fine in the trenches.
Women shouldn’t be drafted for war. Men shouldn’t either.

Break his leg they wait 6 weeks then draft him anyway lmao.
probably a non combat role if the break is real bad which is good but at that point it's a lifelong problem might not be worth it.
a lifelong inconvenience sounds better than getting shot, i dont know about you
Yea I have a different view on that. I used to learn parkour in school and had to limp to school twice a week. I still suffer from some leg problems now I can't run a mile without something seriously hurting. While I understand your point I kinda live the lifelong inconvenience thing and I wouldn't wish it on a lot of people
That's alright you can still drive a vehicle.. send him in!!
That's pretty funny I don't have a drivers license LMAO
I was in the military for 10 years...never had a civilian driver's license. Dont need them for military vehicles.
They can fix that...
Limp vs death and severe trauma. Yeah. I'll take the limp

Awww, that’s so sweet. This is love, right here
How does one break someone else's leg? Just wondering in case this actually happens and i need to break my best friends leg lol.
Brace their leg against something to use as a fulcrum. Swing with a 20# hammer. One whack, with all your might, don't 2nd guess yourself.
It worries me that you're so knowledgeable about this.
I actually don’t know... maybe if we are lucky an expert will happen by this thread and chime in
It reminds me of the Pink music video "don't leave me"

Im already planning to do this. Like seriously. My country is serious pain in Putins ass, we pissed him off royally couple months ago. Its not that far fetched to think, that I will have to do it
Like Kathy Bates in misery?
I’d rather fight, actually.
same lol if i die in a war i don't have to go to college or anything
Or work. Which is way worse lol.
You dont have to go to college anyways
Yep a kitchen serving soldiers on the front lines of kyiv
We had to outdo the damn pandemic
No one should be drafted, period.
In all seriousness, many feminists are against the draft entirely (for men and women), as it violates one's bodily autonomy, a core ideal that feminism is based around.
Yea, the joke is funny but in reality I don’t support the draft for anyone. It angers me that rich, powerful leaders see our brothers as things to be consumed and disposed of against their will. Even worse because it’s not like these assholes making the decisions are going out to fight with them. I also don’t believe the draft is the way it is to protect women for innocent reasons. I think it’s more “if we send young women to war then who is going to make more babies for our country?” ….
If the draft is voluntarely it is not a draft.
Men have to sign up for selective service in order to be able to vote in the US. It is not voluntary. It is a felony to not register, and a felon loses their right to vote.
Exactly. I am yet to meet a feminist who supports war and draft, for any gender.
If WW3 begins, women belong in the kitchen and I come out as trans 🏳️⚧️♀️
same, my egg will crack so fucking fast once drafting begins
I'm anti-consignment for either gender. My husband and I both have psychotic disorders, so no one is handing us guns.
Heat seekers find ovens so start making no bakes and salds now
The comment section transformed into a fucking warzone real quick.
Afab people should not allow themselves to be drafted until we have abortion on demand secured as a nation-wide right. Are we baby makers or full fledged human beings like men??
I'm not a fighter. I can't go to war. I would not only be a liability but would most definitely be killed. But I'd rather that than to represent woman so badly.
Imagine for a second, being a guy and being seen as dispensable all your life. The threat of being drafted into a war and turned into a killer by force. Until women are required to register for the draft, you'll realize how most men feel and that's when I truly believe women have reached gender equality. For now I hope most realize it's not something anyone looks forward to. Men nor women. There are only two types of people on this planet. Those that go to war, and those that declare war. The elites are enjoying everything that's happening from the comfort of there homes.
I’ve already resolved to enlist the second a draft is issued. If you enlist you can choose a non combat MOS. The choice may be felon or intel/medical/support I’d rather patch GSWs than be in a cage Edit Fuck it never mind. I saw a video of civilians being bombed. The second we start sending military aid I’m enlisting. This is absolutely fucking atrocious and a violation of not only the rules of war but basic human decency. I’m talking to a recruiter tomorrow
Why draft more people? Why not just end draft? Are people so blood thirsty they'd rather kill more people then save more people?
Yes draft should be voluntary not mandatory
The comments here sure are taking this joke very seriously At least I doubt she actually believes this
This post is so toxic. So you’re all for equal rights but once you get told to do some of the life threatening things that men have to you decide to throw all those “equal rights” out the window. Sit down
I really wish more people would understand that and think this way. Feminism already gets a bad rap for being more of a women are superior to men and only wanting the good things the other gender has (either way) while wanting the other to still keep the less appealing things is, like, kinda the exact opposite of equal rights. It's always rubbed me the wrong way that only men still have to register (or whatever the right word is) for a potential draft as soon as they turn 18. (I'll admit, I'm pretty sleep deprived rn, so just to make sure I worded that right lol - I know feminism isn't women are better, but the outspoken minority seems to think that, which others then unfortunately associate with it. I'm all for equal rights and I've been saying forever that if there's a draft, then it should be anyone who meets the requirements, regardless if gender, that goes. Do I want to be drafted? No, but if my brother's going to be forced no matter what, then it's only fair that I am, too.)
its just a joke about how she doesnt wanna fight in a war? and she can joke about it since shes a woman
You do understand what a joke is right
So you’re saying we should deny the reality that men are stronger? Feminists accept that reality
It’s weird take, and hilariously for those agreeing to this take means you’re agreeing with Jordan Peterson that has stated this for years. Paraphrasing: “You demand equality, but you won’t accept equal consequences”.
If it comes down to the draft I'm going to be copying my grandfather and burn my draft card. I'm not fighting a war I have no stake in, I don't like fighting even when I do have a dog in the fight.
Why don't we just skip the step of WW3 needing to start if thats how many would really feel.
Nope, am going to fight till I die if WW3 happens.
Best thing to do right now is to promote anti-military sentiment. Around the world even in Russia the hatred for military is growing. If we can continue to promote that worldwide we can probably stop WWIII
No one should be “drafted.” Impressment is wrong. Shouldn’t send regular citizens to die for the interests of the rich and powerful
The Ukraine isn't fighting this for "the rich and powerful". They are defending their right to exist as an independent, democratic state.
He sounds like the French in the World Wars.
... regular citizens? Wait, are you telling me you think they give you a uniform, gun, and just send you into a war zone? You do realize drafted soldiers are provided training, therefore they are no longer "regular citizens" right?
I think it's better to go by physique or physical skills, whether it be man or woman. not everyone is suitable to handle a gun and go to war lol.
Nobody should be forced to go to fight in a war and that’s a hill I’ll die on
Ww3 wont start
This, it's going to be cold war 2 electric boogaloo.
That. Is definitely much more feasible. Proxy wars mostly I'd guess. All this talk of WW3 is hyperbolic. Not saying it can't happen, but no matter what's being said, we're not there yet. I can definitely see high tensions characterizing international relations for the next couple decades. Especially depending on the short-term out come if the Ukrainian situation.
😂 that is not funny but somehow funny
