voluntary military makes it the world’s best
if you think youth need military training, set up a ‘program’ for them. those youth won’t make our military better.
Hell no
No. It wreaked destruction on this country to have the draft for Vietnam. Much better than those who choose to fight, do so.
Naah. I say hell yes. Blue states only. Affirmative action to LBGTQ I DONT HAVE A F’NCLUE applicants. Send them with pussy hats and masks. Make them wear body cams.
I would pay money to watch that show.
A rational draft hat would preclude all the fears of being drafted would be a universal MALE draft to be automatic at age 18 or 17 if a high school graduate for 6 months of basic and infantry training with no assignment to actual duty. At the end of the 6 months the trainees would not be allowed to enlist in the regular military for a further 6 months. With that system the draft for actual service would not be necessary. The main resistance to the draft is young men who fear being shot at or who fear putting their college on hold and others getting an earlier start at careers. The universal training ends the fear-of-the-unknown factor. It is something all have experienced and it is not scary any more. If the nation is under attack there will be no lack of volunteers. And, we will have a much more mature, patriotic, responsible population of young men. No, women should not be drafted and should not be trained in battlefield arts unless there is a real prospect of massive invasion.
No. In places such as Israel where everybody’s butt is on the line it works. But here in the land of affluence and softness (Julius Ceasar dubbed it effeminate) it won’t work for all the reasons given in just about all the comments posted.
Historically if you look at 2 Chronicles chapter 13 starting around verse 3 or 4 you’ll even see that in ancient times they chose their armies. These armies did not volunteer but they were chosen in a selective way, perhaps from men wishing to compete for position.
13:1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.13:2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.13:3 And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valour.
Keep in mind countries of yore were warrior societies. It was cultural and survival depended on it.
The undercurrent of felony in this country is breeding out national pride. In our case Society needs to make crime sufferable, not a demented type of PC vaycay. Without instilling a healthy respect for authority. A Draft would not work as were... you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink.
