So this non-serving ass clown wants OTHER people to sign up for a draft to protect his “unparalleled freedoms and opportunities” while he sits back and enjoys them. Says our freedoms are the envy of the world. My brother, have you ever even left the country? Because nothing says “unparalleled freedom” like going bankrupt from a hospital visit, watching your kids do active shooter drills, and needing a draft to staff a military that already has the biggest budget on the planet. But sure, the whole world is just green with envy. Absolutely seething. They’re over there with their universal healthcare and paid parental leave just WISHING they could be us.
People who support the military, any military, are the worst.
Iran hasn’t done anything to me, but Trump has.
He’s caused more harm to the US than Iran ever has.
Trump or Schneider?
As a matter of fact the real war would be civil war.
Finish up what the Union army needed to do to the South at the end of the war.
The biggest hotbeds of Confederate activity in the modern era can be found in Silicon Valley and Washington DC.
“The only way we can have freedom is by killing some brown people who have done nothing to us.” - Some fucking douchebag moron
I didn’t see him at Fallujah when it was his turn to die for his country.
Curious that he’s discovered a love of mandatory conscription so late in life
Why are people listening to Rob Schneider?
Oooh ok, please be the first in line then rob.
Exactly what freedom is being threatened by Iran? The freedom to distract people from the Epstein files maybe?
Exactly who cares the slightest bit about the political opinions of Rob Schneider?
The same people who care about the political opinions of Donald Trump.
To prove your point: this is the second time today that I went: “Rob who?” The first time was after the Last Week Tonight piece on Orban. By the time I came across this, I had already forgotten who he was again because it just. Doesn’t. Matter.
I really doubt he has any influence even over the diehard MAGA crowd.
Rob Schneider is a stapler
I didn’t know who he was so I looked him up on Wikipedia. Apparently he’s a fucking moron.
That he is. South Park made fun of him a lot back in the day
but then he became irrelevant, so no one talks about him anymore, except when he makes idiotic statements like this and makes an arse of himself… again.
Most of the time comments like this make me feel old, since I would imagine the majority of people my age absolutely know who he is without even thinking about it. But this time it makes me feel good knowing that even now there’s gonna be a ton of people who never heard of him before and that will keep growing as time goes on.
Oh I’m old, but apparently I live in a cultural cave.
If you watched comedy movies on VHS, it’s impossible to not see at least some of his movies.
He played second fiddle to a better comedian.
Derp de deedly derp
And an idiot
Rob, have you tried just not saying anything? Come on, try it…
You can do it!
Rob Schneider, fucking idiot, says something fashy to remind people he still exists after being functionally unemployed for a decade
Let’s not use ‘unemployed’ in a pejorative way.
I just watched an episode of Last Week Tonight where Rob said some nice things about Victor Orban, or something along those lines. Not that Rob really ever had any credibility but anything he had is now gone.
dude’s apex was the ‘making copies’ guy on SNL. one bit.
all downhill from there. he’s a no-service shitbag who wants to say other people’s kids should be conscripted.
all of this ignores the enormous harm a draft would do to our military - because I guarantee you the rich still won’t serve, they’ll all have bone spurs and asthma that fixes itself after a decade. and the poor will have to serve instead.
meanwhile, today, we have one of the best militaries in the world because the people serving genuinely want to be there - either for the service itself or benefits after - and all of this ignores the giant elephant in the room: conscription’s great for meat waves.
anything requiring skill gets fucked. small unit tactics take ages to learn. logistical operations take longer. and you’re not going to get conscripts in the backbone combat service and support units because that shit takes even longer to teach than infantry stuff. two year hitch? hell that’s just barely enough time to get through basic, AIT and airborne school. that’s when you’re qualified to no longer be a danger to your fellow servicepeople.
I don’t want to serve with conscripted people who are gonna get high/fucked up and get us all murdered. we saw what happened in vietnam, no thanks.
That’s also ignoring the possibility of folks like myself being conscripted, wherein I would be looking for the biggest how can I fuck everyone over situation. I see human life as cheap including my own, now imagine what I would consider acceptable casualties?
valid.
sounds like he got marching orders from putinspeak to Support orban’s election
Who cares what Rob Schneider thinks?
Seriously. This is news? How?
Unfortunately we live in a time and a place where this idiot absolutely has more public sway than a lot of members of Congress and basically all of local government. This country does have a reality tv star as president after all.
god damn it. Idiocracy wasn’t supposed to be a guide!
I honestly didn’t know he was still alive.
Classic chickenhawk, lives 60-something years without serving in military, and now thinks other people should serve in the military.
I was going to call him a joke, but then that would give him more credit than he is due.
Jokes are funny, which he is not.
nah, he’s funny. funny in the way that he thinks he’s ever been relevant. The only reason he got work was because of Adam Sandler. He’s a fucking moronic dipshit.
Sorry, I don’t take geopolitical advice from a man whose most notable acting roles included starring in The Hot Chick.
I think his most notable role was a bit character in Waterboy. “You can do it!”.
It’s also worth remembering that the character in question was simultaneously incredibly vicious, stupid and naive.
He may not have even been acting, now that I think about it.
The man peaked (!) last millennium with Deuce Bigalow Male Gigolo.
What “freedoms” does he think are being threatened by Iran?
Our freedom to kill brown people?
they’re brown.
Say the literal one dimension comedian. How many times has Adam Sandler kept you in SAG?
