swede316 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I know certain countries have 2 year minimum requirements for most citizens to do military or government service. Is it time for that here? I know there are both benefits and detractors to compulsory service. What's your take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no benefits .The military today is far better than the one that fought in in Viet Nam, that is not to say that there were no patriots in that war Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot believe that the elite media did not bring this up at all, especially when you consider that the leftees were trying to pin the draft scare on the republicans. I would like to see what the libs have to say about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede316 Posted October 8, 2004 Author Share Posted October 8, 2004 Well..My take is it would cost too much but there would be some value to it...Teach these kids about Patriotism and service to country and firearms training and responsibility...but like I said too cost prohibitive in a free state.

The true patriots are the young men and women in our military but you dont think the press will let the rest of the general public see that. The news media is a necessary vermin. My suggestion to countires thinking about becoming democratic ,build more jails and keep you fingers crossed. I know it sounds corny but freedom really isnt free.

Too bad they're too busy watching "Reality Television" to be interested in raising their children. Sorry, if government schools can't teach kids over 13 years there's no way the military is going to fix it in 2. We don't fix problems. We kill people and break stevestojan.

And those people WANT to be there (for the most part). There are also VERY large downsides to it, especially when you train anti-socials to kill people and then unleash them back into the public. THINK ABOUT IT. People continue to look for government solutions to immediate family problems. It has never worked and it NEVER will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede316 Posted October 8, 2004 Author Share Posted October 8, 2004 Never said it was a solution to family problems...I happen to think everyone should serve..to some degree...Not everyone can.....My problem is how to pay for it...I can't think off a way too without raising taxes...so I squash my own idea.
