The Need for a Mandatory National Service Program

This idea of the seizure of our very persons and that of our children resulting in enslavement by our government is an abomination and a greater threat than all of our foreign national enemies combined. Men, like this author, want to turn us into the janissaries of the religion of statism. We own and are masters of our government. Unlike, China, our government does not own us.

Many of the comments at the site are great! We already fought a brutal war over this issue, among others.

13TH AMENDMENT Abolition of Slavery

Passed by Congress January 31, 1865. Ratified December 6, 1865. The 13th Amendment changed a portion of Article IV, Section 2

Section 1 Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section 2 Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

The Biden Youth?

Under the current administration they would be little more than Hitler Youth.

This came up a while back and the promoters called it “mandatory volunteerism”.
Orwell would be proud.

From such a program would come the ‘second’ army to control the populace.

“Conservative” show host Mike Gallagher believes that post mortem organ donation should be mandated. The state owns you and your body.

How did we ever manage from 1790 to 2020?

Two years service? It’ll take you 12 months just to get these snowflakes upto speed enough to live in a barracks. About a month to tie their shoes. Besides where are you going to hire enough babysitters to watch over them.

[robowombat]

The USNIP became a globulist megaphone around 1990.

[Mr. Blond]

Don’t worry. When Democrats eventually pass free healthcare and free tuition, they will have to re-institute the draft, as that was a major incentive for enlisting.

[Mariner]

Shift this to mandatory military draft, everyone does boot camp and from there some go active duty with everyone else going into 2 years of reserves, and “progressives” would be rioting in the streets.

GFY...

[stanne]

Any twenty year old owes this corrupt government $240 k before this latest Monopoly money round. Now they’re going to sqwak about enlisting their service? And to a what especially the navy from where this guy speaks has turned into a social testing ground.

Good luck with that.

Given authority backed by real punishment, I could have them all shitting on time at 0700 every morning.

How Nazi.

“mandatory volunteerism”

My daughters had friends in government schools that were required to volunteer for community service in order to graduate. It is all part of the leftist indoctrination that they received.

They can all learn how to knife fight.

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” - Obama

How Nazi.

Brown shirts will be standard uniform.

Elites and well connected will find a way to get their exemptions.

We used to have one...the draft. This time at 18 every swinging you-know-what gets a bus ticket to Leonard Wood or Parris Island. No deferments except physical incapacitation. Evaders get Leavenworth.
