Draftees will be given the opportunity to die for their government. From Doug Casey at internationalman.com:
International Man: UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak recently pledged to bring back mandatory national service.
The German government has also mulled reinstating compulsory military service. In Ukraine, it’s not uncommon for government agents to forcibly kidnap civilians off the streets and send them to the front.
These are a few recent examples. There seems to be a clear trend of governments preparing their citizens for some sort of mandatory national service.
Is conscription coming back in the West generally and the US in particular?
Doug Casey: The US is now automatically registering all males between 18 and 26 into the Selective Service databank. I’m no fan of conscription. Or the military in general. Of course, it shocks a lot of people when I say I’m not a fan of the military, although I tend to like soldiers as individuals. Don’t get me wrong; the military can serve a useful purpose. But when you’re in the military, you’re not necessarily fighting for the country or “freedom.” You’re fighting for the government and the people who control it.
Propaganda and jingoism aside, the kind of people who run governments are not the best and the brightest, just the most ambitious and opportunistic. Without exception, they’re power grubbers who like to control other people.
It’s one thing if someone joins voluntarily, but something else entirely if they’re coerced. The draft, or any kind of mandatory service or conscription, should be called what it is: Involuntary servitude. Or, as shocking as it may sound, slavery.
Anyway, this trend towards conscription everywhere in the West is most disturbing. It’s inuring people to the idea that they should serve the State, the government.
Why, of course, the people don’t want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? -Hermann Göring
His extra big ass Grand Cross Ritterkreuz (Knight’s Cross) sold for $30,000, what a deal!
There is a one dollar bill out there somewhere with almost all of the Nuremberg prisoners autographs on it.
Conscription? We’re all in this New Civility hive comrade.
No shirking, we have labor camps and you’ll be with those unwashed deplorable kulak untermenschen scum.
Dope, EBT, free healthcare and video games?
Bwahaha, LMFAO, you are so cute snowflake, what a *preshus* dear, bless your heart. (/s)
All clownshoe aside maternal grandfather went to USMC Pacific, paternal grandfather worked for the railroad and was considered an essential worker for the war effort.
Pappy was cray cray and volunteered early 1960’s, made a career out of it.
There’s your out flaky snows, important worker or try carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia, whatever, to be exempt.
And if it goes bad, they’ll draft them too.
