British press gangs at sea after the Revolutionary War and against American flagged ships was a major factor leading to the War of 1812.

They can never admit the mandates were wrong, because that harms the government’s legitimacy. Can’t have the sheep thinking the government did the wrong thing now.

Or just “the draft.” Draft a person into service and if they don’t comply, lock ‘em up and seize all their property.
This is the sort of thing that governments excel at. It’s why the people should crave small government.
