Or mandatory service like Israel?


Some of these people on the streets would be put into a job where discipline would be required.

If they draft black kids out of Chicago, we lose a war in record time. They can't shoot worth a damn.

18 months mandatory basic training would be interesting.

There are 4 million kids born each year or close to it in the early 2000's.

For 2 years of service you would have to find something for 8 million of them to do at any given time.

That would be a bureaucratic nightmare and a tremendous waste of time.

Conscription runs against everything the founders stood for.

Im pretty sure they were against the murder or attempted murder of innocent cops. The looting of innocent businesses, the burning of cities and homes.

I’m sure they were too. They fiercely advocated for property rights. What the hell does that have to do with conscription? They didn’t even want a federal standing army, much less one that forced people into serving it.

If we had a military draft, our overseas meddling would end in less than a year. The only thing Americans hate more than peace is their kids having to fight in a war.

Some kind of mandatory service, not necessarily military, couldn't hurt.

While it would be satisfying to see the piece of scat losers get the shite beat out of them Full Metal Jacket/R. Lee Ermey style, it simply isn't plausible.

Disagree, too many people would get out of doing their duty. Young people have forgotten that there is a price to pay for freedom. This country was built by people who fought for it and served something bigger than themselves. Every able bodied 18 year old man should have to serve 2 years in the military.

If you defer service for college you should have to take ROTC and then go in as an officer for two years.

This one act would change the direction of this nation almost immediately and it would do more to help these inner city kids than any thing they could ever do legislatively to help them.

Mandatory national guard service until 25. Make kids help after natural disasters. Make them go through basic training and learn how to shoot and take apart a rifle.

Maybe this will instill some discipline and increase responsible gun ownership.

not enough of that for 8 million people to do either

I won't even get into the 7.75 million who don't want to be there and act resentful as Hell about it.

ITT: People who argue that public schools are glorified government indoctrination camps discuss how beneficial it would be if the government forced young men and women into federal service.
