But mandatory service is called "slavery" in case you didn't know, and there is nothing debatable about it. Nothing.

You might see it that way, but there are other countries that do this. Israel being one.

From an Israeli site.

Service in the Israel Defense Forces is a measure of involvement in the country's life. Most men and single women are inducted into the IDF at age 18, women for two years and men for three, followed by service in the reserves, men up to age 51 and single women to age 24. In February 2006, the Defense Ministry outlined a plan to reduce mandatory service for male soldiers to 28 months.

I have mixed feelings here. (I'm veteran BTW)

But again, given the state of many of our young people, many of which can't even find jobs now, this might be an option, depending on how it worked.

We don’t live in other countries, and I don’t care about whether they have slave labor or not when I’m trying to fight against it in this country. Zerocorps is not the military, but zero’s answer to our (mostly conservative) military. He’s fomenting a civil war here because when his “corps” gets really oppressive, we’re going to rebel.

Another little thought occurred to me, that zero wants a nation of white slaves to pay America back for its black slavery.

IMO, zero’s corps is not an option for any conservative young person when they have so many others like the Military, the National Guard, and the Coast Guard as you mentioned in your earlier post.

Remember, this will be mandatory, so whether they want to or not, every single one of our children will be forced into one of these indoctrination camps. Oh, sure. They left “mandatory” out of the bill, but zero’s statements have expiry dates (as Jim Quinn says), and one little XO later, and it’s slavery.

Do you really approve of that?
