Thread title says obligatory military service....or do you have reading comprehension problems today too?

Fair enough, then let's just disagree with the idea of obligatory military service and create a new thread to discuss the introduction of an obligatory national service, without specifing military or not.

yes . but some rather see the darkside of thing to push thier agenda or what not. Give them feed back is pointless.

Point taken, when I see what you describe, I find rather than to argue it's more effective just to ask a question and that puts it back in their court and a lot of times you get no response hence killing their ulterior motive.

I do that too but it doesn't always work. It always depends on who your asking. Some once their 'fire's ' lit theres no reasoning with.

An idea that pooped up in another thread.

The pros and cons

Seeming we have a small population spread out so thin. Should Military training be an obligation?


This is the original OP and it only talks about military....and since the present and former members of the military are so fond of pointing out that killing is what the primary purpose of the military..... then ..... like I said....hell of an idea..... god way to teach our young to maim and kill.

you only saw that part of it , tho the discussion was spread with the fringe thread the idea developed to something else.
So , if one took the time to read all the post one would of noticed the lack of violent intent ;-)

I read them all, and Ron said to get back to the original OP...so I did. Not my fault your original OP was so limited.

It's funny, that people who are so much against killing are almost as obnoxious in other waysl..............:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:


We do't have a gun to point at your head to get our way.

don't like my interpretation? Tough shyte! War mongers can dress it up anyway they want, it's still teaching the young how to kill, anything else that they "may" learn is secondary.

For your sake I hope you're never involved in any situation or in an area where these "killers and maimers" may be needed to locate or rescue you or anyone you care about...

Because coincidentally at the exact moment you are located, some other more demanding duty may beckon, necessitating a sudden change of plans....:lol::lol:


SO...because I don't agree with it....even though my taxes pays their f*ckin wages...it's OK for them to walk away from me and mine...... I rest my case as to what kind of sick moraless brainless morons we are dealing with.
