I’m sure you all remember that it was just a couple weeks ago when the entire world seemed to be panicking that World War III was about to kick off with the drone strike on Iranian General Qasem Soleimani. Millennials were having conniption fits over rumors of a draft while stocking up on soy lattes for comfort purposes. Zoomers were mocking war on Tick Tock. It was interesting. But on a positive note, we got the memes. Enjoy a roundup of my favorites.

It was fun to watch the left discover that “two genders” means something significant in a draft situation.

If we have to rely on the kids to take us to war, we’re doomed.

But the good news is, WW III was the shortest war ever and there won’t be a need to draft any of the gluten-intolerant, basement-dwelling, soy-guzzling gamers. So, that’s a win.
