Mandiory servicein the armed forces!!!!!!!!!
    #1179105 -

I was watching CNN last night and there was this dude from NY either a senator or a member of the house who wants to write legislation that would make it mandatory for every US citizen to serve in the armed forces. I have 3 questions about this; does this asshole have any sort of support aside form the obvious hard-core war hawks in congress, meaning does this have any chance of actually becoming law? Is it constitutional, I know a draft is considered constitutional but is forced mandatory service? And finally if this actually becomes law will I be able to get out of it by making a pass at my drill sergeant or by failing a drug test? Oh and any other information on this subject would be appreciated; all I got was the 30 second rundown by the anchor on CNN.

I heard a little bit of that. He wants that to pass because if we all serve in the military we'll all think twice about sending our soldiers to war for no reason, right?

Amendment XIII

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

However, the government chooses to ignore the constitution and re-interpret it as it sees fit.

To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.'  Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence.  Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains.  Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

How come people are against a liquid form of legislation when it concerns this matter but have no problem with the bill of rights being liquid?...sounds a little hypocritical.

This is a democratic proposal. It's not the war hawk GOP bringing this up.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

I wouldn't be surprised if the resounding silence was deafening.

And by the way, that wasn't sarcasm. It was meant to be funny.

I do not always agree with your abrupt style but I find your directness to be refreshing.

You're not former military are you?

It'll never pass, that sounds so rediculous. The draft is enough.

Thats just the same thinking that has got the Middle East in trouble...

If you send everyone into military training and youe entire country knows how to strip and clean varrious weapons blindfolded then you end up with a nation FULL of people trained in combat and with knowledge of how to kill without remorse...

Its nothing good for anybody..

Teatch a man to fish and he will eat forever... Teatch a man to shoot another man and he will only steal someone elses fish...

While I think you're wrong, and your assumption is foolish at best, I at least admire your paraphrase. It's rather clever.

However, it's spelled "teach".

You're saying that anyone of military background is a remorseless killer? Most of my familiy, my friends, their friends and families have been, will be, or are in the military now, and I don't know ONE who would use his or her combat skills in a civilian situation.

How about this: if we do not force everyone to serve in the military we will be creating a race of pacifistic dolts who will turn the country over to Canada in their attempt to bring peace to Texas.

I agree with where you're coming from, but your logic is just plain stupid.

The Fins do.
They have to small of a population to maintan an army without forced service.

They only maintan their army to hold back russia.

Or so I was told.

as if everyone in the military gets training in combat tactics or how to kill without remorse. there's lots of people in this country who kill people everyday and they've never even been in the military.
