You don't let your government "unionize" against you, I wouldn't want the Army to choose when it wants to go on strike against the people and call a work stoppage, and I sure don't want them joining some "international" labor movement against us.

I don't either. But neither do I wish to limit who another American associates with. If a soldier wishes to join a union, I could care less. However, I don't want the US government entering into a contract with a "soldier's union."

In the same way, I could care less if a public employee joins a union... he has the freedom of association. However, I do not want the US government to require union membership as a condition for employment.

When the government becomes a union, then they are now more than the government or servants of the people, at our command.

I’m surprised that you approve of the Army changing itself into an armed union, unionized against the American people like other government unions are. That is when they start dictating to us and running our government the way that government unions have taken over our major cities.
