The title has nothing to do with a post that sort of starts off somewhere and ends up going absolutely nowhere.
What I thought you were going to write about was if some nation dropped an H-bomb and we all went to war, everyone would be recruited out of their current lives and startup-centric mind frames. No more entrepreneurship when everyone's trying to survive a war (Unless you're Milo Minderbiner in a Hellerian universe).
I think it's a mashup of multiple startup memes. If a referent has to be singular rather than a general class in order for it to qualify as parody, then I stand corrected.
There's so damn much useless, feel-good, vague gibberish written about startups that combating the problem by writing more of the stuff is not exactly the solution I'd prefer.
A startup is like a burrito. Wait, no. That's monads.
Launchrock is a little too meta for me... it probably will never make any money but hey, it probably didn't really cost any money to make.
I guess that's one problem with people not working for big companies when they graduate college and instead just going to their startup, they don't know the kinds of problems real people are having. Now let me go back to working on my iPhone game.

If Russia or China starts a fullscale nuclear war, it is over before they have the time to consider a draft.
In any other case a draft is political suicide and will be the only thing (short of an invasion) that can united the country.
So a draft is extremely unlikely.
