Compulsory National Service. Would You Serve?

Oh....Government service is notoriously low paid.

Buck Privates are paid a lot more than they were when my old man was drafted in 1941. And the men still have to be housed, fed and trained. Particularly nowadays, operating the guns is more complex than just firing a rifle- which a lot of young men don't know how to do so well either nowadays.
 
I’m 70 and would happily serve in some capacity if asked. The current crop of American Gen Zers would be more reluctant, I’m afraid.
A retired officer was on a news channel stating that 75% of males in that age range for several reasons are not eligible to serve. Weight, drugs, psyche issues, criminal records, and education as negatives. One of my kid's is in the service and a decade ago or so they had in many if not all recruitment centers, pre-exercises and marching before you actually went to boot camp a couple times a week and spent a weekend at a reserve base. All of the services did this together. They were called "poolies' then I do not know about now.
 
Maybe. During the Vietnam War, a contractor I worked for was drafted and sent to Vietnam and spent the entire time building rows of dog kennels. So the draft can be a useless disruption of people's lives.
 
I think that young people need to experience life abroad...not the vacation type life either.
I tend to think that they would begin to fight for their nation then. They have no clue as to how good things are here.
Thanks to Leftest in this country things are going to get a lot worse. We are living on borrowed time right now.

The size of the Federal government is unsubstantial. We went over $2 trillion in debt in 2023 alone. The combined cost of Federal, State and Local government is almost 40% of the GDP and it is growing.

The corruption and oppression of the ruling Leftest are destroying the very tenets of Liberty that made our country great.

The days of Great America are over. We are declining into being a Socialist Shithole. We have a weak military. Our debt is astronomical. Government is bloated and oppressive. The massive problems we have can't be fixed at the ballot box. Electing RINOs over Democrats won't fix much of anything.
 
You don't have to be able do 100 pullups to shoot commies and jihadists in the face.

It just takes three pounds of pressure with your index finger. :p
my god, we'll have to defend it ourselves while millenial libturd cucks are painting their toenails.......then we'll have to fook their women to populate

That's the message I got from my old schoolmates when I met them over the years. They all have world traveled and all said, be glad you live in the U.S..A.

Oh the propaganda campaigns can change....it's not that difficult to manage. The propaganda campaigns from "The West's enemies" can be cut off fairly easily and quickly. Sure, currently they are running wide open even on this board....but that doesn't mean that they will be allowed to continue.

Citizenship matters....and the bots and influencers that influence opinions of the fringe can be immediately silenced. They flat out won't exist anymore. Then see what remains. Most Americans are much more prudent than what these propagandists realize. And those that aren't are easily swayed by patriotic propaganda.
 
Well you do bring up an interesting point....

Currently in America women are NOT required to register for the draft. Kinda different than most other countries like Israel who make EVERYONE sign up for service.

So Currently a biological male can identify as a female and get put of public service.
Do you think that having mentally ill people carrying fully automatic weapons is a good thing?
