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

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.

“The Need for a Mandatory National Service Program”

How did we ever manage from 1790 to 2020?

The USNIP became a globulist megaphone around 1990.

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.

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.

“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

“The Need for a Mandatory National Service Program..”

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.

I have no intention of being forced or having my children be forced to help a criminal, democrat party government.

The only justification for military conscription is the right of the government to call up the militia in time of national emergency.

After WW2, the GI Bill allowed many veterans to go to college.

I would propose, instead, abolition of all federal education subsidies, and replacement by a GI Bill, which only confers benefits after successful and honorable completion of 2-4 years of military service. Combined with service people getting part time classes during enlistment.

The Aspen Institute, Service Year Alliance, and Brookings Institution

Never heard of the SYA but the other two organizations are notoriously vile.

What Will this Cost? A rough, “back of the envelope” calculation of the cost of an 18-month program in which everyone participates; are paid a small $100 per week allowance and an additional $100 per week goes into a savings account;

So much for $15 per hour for your mandatory volunteerism. Even counting the savings account (probably in long term government bonds so you can get the other half of your when you're 70) that only $5/hour.

So, when will the people ever wake the hell up and finally get down to striking back at this criminal abomination of a lawless, illegitimate tyranny we now suffer under? Is no outrage significant enough to get the people of today off their asses to fight back against all this? GOPee Delenda Est!
