Is it time for compulsory military service? (Nebraska, politicians, million)

[workingclasshero]

I agree with a mandatory service of somekind, not just military, some sort of civil service for each to be able to give to the country. (2 years)


only 3 out of 10 qualify for the military

but many could use the experience and training of the multitude of other departments.... something like a mandatory 2 year internship with the DOT (might get the roads and bridges fixed faster)

Not made it poorer for some false sense of security.

A little boot camp would help them think about the importance of physical exercise in their lives.

No. The draft is an immoral enterprise and is not consistent with a free society. The state does not have a right to enslave you, even for national self-defense. If there are threats to our existence, and no volunteers, then we should perish.

I would much rather see them picking up trash in cities and along highways. It's a mess out there right now.

How about compulsory national service of some sort? It could be Peace Corps or Job Corps, Habitat for Humanity, etc. I assume these all still exist.

And maybe it would teach them not to throw trash on the ground in the future.
