#2Palantir is a more dangerous enemy of the USA (or any people of Earth) than, say, Iran.
There's no point in addressing their propaganda, but the idea that that a draft leads to everyone from every class of life having to be involved in war equally is so obviously untrue it's a joke.

#3Alex Karp needs an army.
I think the proper counter move is to seize all assets of oligarchs and distribute it among The People. That way those Vietnam 2.0 loving guys won't get any say in anything anymore.

#5Opening graph: "We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost," says military contractor and all-around surveillance-enabler Palantir.

#8Surely he means that himself and his billionaire buddies will be the first boots on the ground when we decide to plunder another country for oil again. No?

#9> This Big Tech Firm Wants To Reinstate the Draft
I still cannot help but look at Palantir as a company that just sends $ to the "oligarchs". I still wonder what real value Palantir provides the US Gov.
After reading the article, are they looking for cheap tech labor. Is that because no one in tech wants to join the military due to pay ?
