The US military is nothing but the largest (and deadliest) entitlement scheme in the history of the planet, and just like all the rest of Uncle Scams schemes no one should be forced into participating in it.
In all fairness to Uncle Sam we're already his slaves thru numerous schemes (taxation, regulation, legislation, criminal justice system as a whole). Conscription is more like getting stuck with the crappiest/most dangerous job on the master's list of chores.
See, there's always a silver lining. Three cheers for master!
So basically, if a major war ever took place again, you think we should just surrender? Or how does it work in your Libertarian/ANCAP fantasy land?
the military has made us less safe at home thanks to its killing, trespassing and occupying abroad. Have you ever read a newspaper?

I will put you in my "immature no credibility" list
