Would Forced Enlistment Into The Military Unite America

[daze23]

i can see it now... pay a $10,000 fee and you're exempt from ensliting

maybe $50,000 to really weed the suckers out.

"pay and you're exempt" would be pretty blatant. say what you want about our society, but I don't think people would be too cool with that

 

[Nefflum nigga]

A draft?

yeah that would go smooth


Imagine them coming to round up draft dodgers..

 

[Good Guy Guevara]

If they brought back the draft there would be a lot more pressure on politicians to avoid a major war. Were so disconnected from the military as a whole its another society too us. When you have a brother, sister, mother, father etc. getting blown up over some bullshyt you'll have a lot more people marching in Washington quicker.

I understand the cynicism, but I assumed 'no loopholes' was part of the hypothetical situation

thats a nice idea but it might work if things were truly equal in this hypothetical situation

This doesn't cure these communities whatsoever.

Word? Then what does?

 

[Strapped]

keep wishing

 

[Spidey Man]

Didn`t read thread, but a draft would unite America. It would unite America against Washington

Do you understand the complexities of the problem you're talking about? It's a lot of things, and some communities don't have the same problems.

A city in bumfukk South Dakota may be full of poverty because there's no industry, and there's no agriculture. Combine that with a culture that is extremely religious, conservative and doesn't value education as much and you have generational poverty.

An urban place in Michigan may be infested with drugs and other criminals, combine that with the downfall of American manufacturing and lack of jobs for people that provided a lot of jobs for people with low education etc.


Your idea that conscription would be the cure-all for these kind of problems just makes zero sense whatsoever. The government wouldn't want to solve these problems anyway because it guarantees a class that is always forced to fight wars for you because they have no other options.

is joint combat with women & men stopping the rape

Hell it's a big shyt storm poppin off in the Air Force about a commander sexually assaulting chicks and that's just in garrison

 

[Type Username Here]

I feel that conscription is unconstitutional.

 

[Deaf2twothirds]

Well one advantage of being born in the early 80s is that u 90s babies will be drafted first

 

[FaTaL]

and rich people will still find a way to keep their kids from being enlisted

 

[Beegio]

I wish every citizen was obligated to serve when they hit 18

This is a stupid idea.
