Ronald Reagan said it best:"Conscription rests on the assumption that your kids belong to the state. If we buy that assumption then it is for the state — not for parents, the community, the religious institutions or teachers — to decide who shall have what values and who shall do what work, when, where and how in our society. That assumption isn’t a new one. The Nazis thought it was a great idea. "America was founded on the principle of individual liberty — that the government exists to serve, not enslave, the people. Yet conscription is a form of slavery, a horrible and costly exception to America’s founding principle. It is morally repugnant to the ideals of a free society. "Without the draft, unpopular wars are very difficult to fight. The ability to use conscription actually encourages politicians to wage even more wars — the massive resources are a temptation that is hard for the war-lover to resist. When the draft was finally undermined in the 1970s, for example, the Vietnam War ended."I say that the draft is unconstitutional, just like all of these framed-up and engineered "wars" being waged against humanity by a/national corporate-socialists, amoral imperialists, and supranational banksters that have hijacked our rightful Constitutional Republic. To hell with the War Party, their fraudulent left-right hoax, their economic ponzi scheme/monetary system propped up through military Keynesianism, their hyper-interventionist foreign policy/diplomatic isolationism and their draft. They won't be conscripting me. They won't alienate my God-given rights.
