The Indian pilot unlocked the cockpit door for his rescuers, after being attacked.
Israeli "special ops" thwarted attack? Doubt it. Passengers stepped in. Every Israeli is conscripted into military service at 18 and trained in defense for good reason. Men and women.

The draft is conscripted labor at best, not regulation of the male body itself. Even if this were an example of men's bodies being regulated (it's not), why is it at all relevant or useful as an example in this context?

Australia doesn’t “do zip for Ukraine” and no-one is asking you to put “your body on the line”.

If you’re going to reach for bullshit lines like suggesting Australians will be conscripted to fight Russia in Ukraine, just fuck right off.

Jews are being conscripted to carry out a grudge some in the West hold against Arabs for humiliating the West during the Crusades.

Oh for crap sakes. Not O5’s for any of them. E1 is the most they should be conscripted as.

“In 1885, Trump’s paternal grandfather fled his homeland to avoid military conscription… the Trump family has been in the U.S. more than 150 yrs and no family member has ever been conscripted or volunteered to serve in any branch of the military. This seems to be.. a family tradition”

"...and an exemption from military service back home."

Whew; depending on one's personality, that'd be a hell of an incentive.

(i.e. I realized early in life that if I were hypothetically ever conscripted, then any assignment of active duty would earn me a prison sentence for non-compliance.)

If you are interested in the United Irishmen or the disporia of Irish radicalism in the late 1790s and early 1800s, let me know. I have been building a database of those conscripted into the British army and navy. I have around 500 names thus far but I am looking for help. I will repost this.

But getting conscripted to fight in a monarch’s foreign wars IS a traditional European value, there are old Canadian songs about it as well as Scots and Irish ballads. What’s his problem? 🤪

Danni (GBBO) for next Doctor Who. You can’t be that extra in Britain for that long without getting conscripted into a Tardis.

A "teen" that makes him sound like a child but today an 18 yo is an adult!

We made 18 yolds 'adults' when we conscripted them to fight in Vietnam in 1960s, gave them rifles and allowed them to kill people - as ADULTS (with adult powers of reasoning right from wrong).

This is an incredible story. Carl von Ossiettzky fights in WWI; returns a pacifist; becomes a journalist; exposes German rearmament during the interwar years; thrown into concentration camp by the Nazis; awarded Nobel Prize after lobbying by Einstein et al.

The career soldier. Even though it was not by her choice since she was conscripted, the battlefield is all she ever knew. Even now, in her “retirement” to a desk jockey position, she still somehow manages to arrive on the frontlines. Marshal Pipin knows that’s where she is. #wolqotd #wolquestion

Oh yeah, that actually was the basis for my Viera gal! She left the jungle after rolling male puberty (transfemme) and got conscripted into the Garlean Military.

1/2 The issue is that the core problem is when a person is harmed or discriminated against on the basis of a supposed group membership (& this can be done when a group is invented & they’re conscripted into it) & a key mitigant against this is to reject groups as an organising principle of society

My septuagenarian friend is spending oxt weekend with his *actual* girlfriend, so I have conscripted a sexagenarian.
I asked a bartender. Now I can schedule my next intergenerational theatre attendance.

Not at all. I feel bad for his kids, though. Wouldn’t be surprised if his teenage sons get conscripted too.

That family’s going to be a lot smaller soon. Hell of a price to pay to avoid the “risky” 🌈!

(Maybe he meant Canada is risqué? 🤷🏻‍♀️)

I would question how much of this is actually "she was conscripted" v. "The family made her join the military because her mom and brother suck."
