Yeah, we just want the power to order other people to go fight and die in foreign wars. Fuck slavery.

I'm a long time proponent for the Draft. Not that it will make a better military, but for the benefits to society. And yes it meshes with my Fortress America Doctrine. When I'm Imperator, there will be an M4 over every mantel.

My Draft
- Mandatory Civil Service from age 18-20 for all men, women and name your gender
- Service to the nation not confined to military, could be in any agency or perhaps even local public service
- deferments would be damn near impossible to get, better be brain dead or a quadriplegic.
- Selection of Service will be based on performance in High School.
-- at age 16-17 you select 3 agencies and 3 jobs you would like
-- Agencies pick, might give the military first round draft choice
- Drop out of school or F off on your education, that's all right, the USDA has fruit and veggies to be picked and Mike Rowe will train you in Dirty Jobs
- All our seasonal and part time jobs would be targeted for youth labor and skill learners
- There will be a new Civilian Conservation Corps as well. Many of them centered on rebuilding light infrastructure, and improving National Parks and Lands.
Sounds good. I'd make it one year though.

Under this model you could be counseling families or convicts or drug addicts. Feeding the poor or building parks. Cooking or doing administrative tasks. You couldn't find a job you'd like for 2 years.

Read this out loud, and slowly. Then do it again, and think about the context from which it came.

You are going to have to give a stipend of some sorts. Probably start out with like 20,000 and cap it around 60,000.

What are you saying here? A draft is OK because the state already fucks you up the arse six ways to Sunday anyhow?

Straighten me out here if I'm barking up the wrong tree.
