Trump advisers propose mandatory military service
Only 1 percent of the U.S. population serves in the military. Some in Donald Trump’s camp say it’s time more young adults put “some skin in the game.”
Some in the former president’s camp say it’s time more young adults put “some skin in the game.”
JD Vance appears to be in on requiring the kids of non-billionaires to serve in the military too:
Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), a potential Trump running mate, said in an interview that he sees a clear need for measures to boost participation. “I like the idea of national service. And I’m not talking about in wartime,” he said, calling for more Americans to put “some skin in the game.”
You're viewing a single thread.
Ah yes, slavery.
Just in case anyone doesn't know: the main supreme court case about conscription basically had the decision of "But Mom! All the other countries do it!"
It would be far from "slavery" in the typical sense.
If this happened, those people would get food, housing, healthcare and job training while getting paid for it.
Though I'm definitely not in favor of conscription because how can you call yourself free if you're required to do involuntary military work for the government.
You think slaves weren't fed?
Yeah, the comment just made 0 sense; Slaves got free food, lodging and Healthcare all the way back to biblical times. They also got a free dating service so the master could keep them forever.
I'll add to that, they also got free "education" to learn skills needed for their "job" and how to adress their "superiors".
