The Draft/Mandatory Conscription

[Scat]

I am completely opposed to any type of forced military service. Individuals are not the property of their government to be put to use and "spent" as it sees fit. Besides that it makes for a pretty lousy fighting force compared to an all volunteer force.

Ask the middle east countries about how lousy the Israeli army is. It is mandatory to serve for the Israeli state after all.

The way our government treats our soldiers once they're no longer useful? No, I do not support a draft.

We'd have to end up in some major **** for the draft to become justifiable. Like, being invaded.

I truly believe that if the US were invaded people would flock to the military recruitment center. See WWII. Conscription typically becomes necessary only when invading other countries. See land wars in Asia.

I agree.

Also as far as a forced conscription what if it was not only military service. What if other forms of service came into play?

Then post a help wanted sign and take applications.

I couldn't agree more. It is against everything we believe in to have the government force somebody to possibly go off to war. I find that it is also in the worst interest of the government to have soldiers in their military who don't want to be there. I would rather people just volunteer. If you are a pacifist then I urge you search out some other volunteer work that you can do to help your country. But again, if you decide to not do that either, then that is your right.

We had a highly isolationist mentality following WWI, but Americans joined when they fealt it was necessary. If we have to draft Americans to fight for their families then the war is not a good idea in the first place.

What are you trying to say here?

I thought that was pretty obvious. I'm calling you fat.

That's what I thought.

Did you report him for a personal attack? Farewell Hantlers, you will be missed.

Wasn't me.

He nailed it.
