Republicans for Forced Military Service

[PAF]

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) said in an interview that he sees a clear need for measures to boost participation. “I like the idea of national service. And I’m not talking about in wartime”, he said, calling for more Americans to put “some skin in the game.” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) suggested that military recruiters need more leeway to work in the country’s public schools and said, “I will take no option off the table” when it comes to addressing the shortfalls, including compulsory service. Trump’s last defense secretary wants all public high school students to take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB).

There is a reason the military is not meeting its recruiting goals. Why would anyone join today’s military?

No way in hell should we have forced military service. All the military is now is a far left group.

Far left, far right, what's the difference? It serves the military industrial complex just the same - as it did under Bush/Cheney, before and after, et al.


Pentagon Still Won’t Disclose Troop Numbers in Combat Zones

Under the Trump administration, the Pentagon stopped releasing data on troop levels in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan

Fuck that. I'm not getting forced into the military just so I can get shipped to the ME and get killed in the desert.

 

[TheCount]

Trump's secdef choice also supports mandatory conscription.

No better way to spark a massive anti-war movement than to start conscripting people for combat. Lefties in particular become MUCH MORE anti-war when they’re afraid their own asses are gonna be rounded up and sent into harm’s way.

I have no issues with this as long as the War Hawks, interventionists get conscripted first.

I was being facetious.

But apart from the kidnapping and forcing folks into gladiatorial slavery to fight to the death for the interests of the elite few, yeah, no problem.

At least you have our ally Ukraine doing this to their populace....

No “ally” of mine. And I don’t have any influence over what their parasitic ruling class is doing to them over ther. Still trying to convince my fellow “liberty activists” to stand together and resist our own parasites.

Currently we are for the most part called to duty from cradle to grave. WTF else can the communist bastards want ?

South Korea has compulsory service, 18 months and you are done. It applies to everyone age 18-30, even the most popular kpop group BTS wasn't exempted. It seems to help their society. Look at ours and the youth of today. A majority of Americans, terminally obese land whales, need an 18 month boot camp.

Everyone on this forum would be too old for it, so it's not like you're getting conscripted. We're too far gone as a country to implement something like that for sure. Maybe after WWIII.

lol whatever , most HS students today are not nor will they be physically and or mentally fit for service of about any kind . nor have been for quite some time. Guess these guys dont get out much. They wouldnt get many more than they are now and it would create a huge backlash. The risk / reward way out of balance there on an obama type unreality .Crap like that happens when the elected lack any vision , foresight , wisdom and creativity. I could put together programs to fill open Army slots. Pretty easy really

 

[vita3]

Every member of the neo con family should be forced into service

Kagans look Fat & incredibly removed from ship shape

How could this is done? I dunno... suggestions?

Draft my kids to fight for this regime, the Jews, and to spread sodomy around the globe?

Fuck you, over my dead body.

South Korea is a high IQ, high trust, tightly knit, homogenous society with a deranged communist regime with nukes on its border.

Apples and bowling balls.

True , if conditions warrant it things can certainly seem reasonable but it doesnt here . We could control our Southern border without it we just dont.

Look i get it, Libertarians object to any collectivisms. A Libertarian would see his neighbor's house on fire, and object to paying taxes for the Firefighters to come save the neighbor. Then when his own house is on fire, he would run into the street in a panic, and no one would come help him. I don't want to live in a world like that. I want community and people helping each other. Churches helped facilitate community in the past, but these days, only about 20% of people regularly attend church.

A service obligation doesn't have to mean military, it could be 12 months of community service, there could be options. It's an interesting idea, and of course it will never work in this country, but as a thought experiment I think it could help with many of the trends we are seeing that result in the downfall of nations. The US constitution is our nation and has helped secure our liberties. Collectivism to preserve our constitution and our liberties is necessary.
