Watching this guy speak he has a lot of Barry O’s mannerisms. Same cadence, head maneuvers.

Either practiced or in their DNA that caused them to outwardly exhibit their delusion of grandeur

He thinks that when they turn 18 they will be to old to want to volunteer, so start it in junior high, that way the young boys can be “mentored” by experienced older men, then they will gladly volunteer for whatever “services” he will deem worthy

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, unless they are between 18 and 19 years old. For that one year, their asses belongeth to the State.

Agreed. Thank God my boys are old enough to know (and have parents smart enough to explain) about these kinds of people.

“Right after this moron donates 1 year of HIS life to Uncle Sam.”

To be fair on that score — he was in Navy Intelligence, something to do with tracking down financial support for terrorist groups that led to him being on the ground in Afghanistan.

Fine, bring back the draft so teenagers can learn the patriotism and discipline they didn’t learn in school.

Not in today's ruined military.

Leftists are really so kind. Not only are they very generous with other people’s money, but also are extremely generous with others’ time and freedom as well.

Young man, there’s no need to feel down
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground
I said, young man, ‘cause you’re in a new town
There’s no need to be unhappy

Young man, there’s a place you can go
I said, young man, when you’re short on your dough
You can stay there, and I’m sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time

It’s fun to stay at the YMCA
It’s fun to stay at the YMCA

According to the Constitution slavery is illegal in the United States. It’s illegal to have a condition of involuntary servitude except as punishment for a crime.

How would kids learn patriotism and discipline from today’s military? Every single top leader in the military is an enthusiastic supporter of trannies, homosexuality, women in combat arms, open borders, globalism, and an entire raft of Pr
Progressive causes.

Take a nice God-fearing Christian kid and turn them over to a tranny or a homosexual officer? No thanks

The Fourteenth Amendment doesn’t say anything about whether or not you’re compensated. It simply says involuntary servitude except as punishment for a crime. Stop and think a second, lots of prisoners get paid a few dollars a day to make license plates or something.

A small paycheck does not make slavery okay
