Is it just a “coincidence” that the day after the US house passes an act automatically registering men aged 18 - 26 in “selective service” ie - draft, that my 16 year son comes to me saying that signing up for the military looks “fun”.

As the propaganda and war machine ramps up, and social media channels/AI is used to manipulate minds and control the agenda, talk to your kids - openly and often about their thoughts.

Ps - It was a good reinforcement lesson for my son that his own thoughts are being manipulated. (He thought he was immune because we often talk about it as a family)

Speaking from somebody that fell for this type of propaganda and served in Afghanistan, war leads to more war, hatred and loss of innocent lives. I joined under a misguided belief I was doing good in the world but now I’d advise any child (including my own) to focus on building towards a free and peaceful society. Killing each other isn’t the answer, the sooner we realise that the better.
