'Disgusting': Fury as MAGA CEO of military tech firm calls to reinstate national draft

A political analyst was outraged on Tuesday when a giant Trump-aligned security company urged the U.S. government to reinstate the national draft. Krystal Ball, co-host of the "Breaking Points" podcast on YouTube, discussed several points from Alex Karp's book, "The Technological Republic," in which the CEO of Palantir called for Americans to share in the cost of war and for national service to be a universal duty in a new episode. Ball was repulsed by the idea that a private company with U.S. military contracts could try to force average Americans into military service. "For a military technology company whose bottom line is dependent on us being in a forever war and selling technology also to Israel, Germany, Japan and all these other countries that they see as part of Western civilization or whatever, for their bottom line is dependent on that thing and then they have a manifesto that argues in favor of endless war, never being able to coexist with anyone, increasing militarization of countries that have, as of this point, spent less on their military. That's very convenient for you," Ball said."And you're going to enlist our entire population to fight these endless wars that you yourselves profit from? It's disgusting," she added. But, regardless of how you think about all of these individual points, my biggest takeaway is that these people have to be checked."
