National Service a Military Draft Trick?

This is scary.

Snip:

“Our national security depends not on high-tech weapons systems alone, but on the men and women who make them operational in combat situations,” the report says.

The report says its recommendations are aimed at increasing the pool of volunteers to fill the ranks, something a mandatory national service program could accomplish by making military service an option that people otherwise might never consider.

Mandatory national service, an idea sometimes pushed as an alternative to a military draft, would produce the added benefit of reconnecting the military to typical Americans, the report says.

13th amendment

dont step forward (volunteering) when they ask "ALL joining the army(fill in the space) step forward". DONT step forward.it is tricking you to volunteer

"Stop paying lip service to the Constitution,and OBEY IT!"-Ron Paul

It won't have to

be mandatory. With the economy heading the way it is. There will not be any jobs for the men and women to find. Except..in the military.

Fine

Then they can take me for service, over my son and daughter. No way, no how will my children participate in any "mandatory" anything. I have a hell of a lot more skills than those little chickens, anyway. ;)

Ever Heard of the Selective Service System?

This type of system is kind of already in place. Its meant more for a draft, but the Selective Service System (SSS) has been collecting names of our youth for years in case of a draft. Most people dont even know that they have submitted their information, but if you have ever requested financial aid, your name has been added. The worst part is that it is mandatory to sign up with the SSS if you are between the ages of 18 and 25. They claim that there is no excuse not to (cant even claim religious beliefs).

I know this is a little off topic, but I just wanted to illustrate how easy it is to get people to (unknowingly?) volunteer. It just shows how the government really feels about us...natural resource.

Damn!! I forgot to do

Damn!! I forgot to do that.Well,to late now.

While i was reading about this "service",it dawned on me that they talk about this country being free and all the liberty we have.Then the people are forced to serve,how ironic.Enlistment into the military would sky rocket if this was a constitutional government.Many would be proud to protect our borders and not nation building,policing the world or chasing the boogeyman.

The "foot" of the government will continue to push down on the "throat" of the people until we can't take it anymore.

New Army Policy: If your gay, flaunt it!

... "To deal with recruiting and retention problems, the Center for National Policy recommends lifting the military’s ban on OPEN service by gays," (I'm assuming the "ban" they're speaking of lifting is the former great liberal military compromise: "Don't ask; don't tell.") So much for great liberal military compromises.

This has to be the most deliberate attempt to destroy what's left of the US military. Once they gain control, wow! It won't be fit for (straight) man or beast.

Gays are already in the military. They always have been.

"If your gay, flaunt it"?

You're kidding right? What a stupid comment.

Ron Paul "Sign Wave Across the USA" -- November 5th!

Excuse me but ...

... at the moment, "Don't ask, don't tell" ... THE CURRENT POLICY, assumes that gays won't be acting out while on base or in uniform. IF they get caught. they're out!

Sooooooo, now they're going to loosen up??? Does this mean they'll be swishing around the parade grounds ... doing "it" in the barracks? What exactly will they be loosening? If your drill sgt. is gay, what can he make you do?

Get my drift? I think your comment was less than insightful.

Volunteer, mandatory,

Volunteer, mandatory, option. oh... my... god....

Manditory national service is simply another way of spelling

"involuntary servitude", with no requirement that one be convicted of a crime. Unfortunately, and for generations, citizens have been widely regarded as "resources" (a PC word for "property") by their government(s).

I think that I've identified the world's biggest euphemism....

...straight from the 'non-partisan' report.

"grassroots confidence building collective security arrangements"

I also especially enjoyed this suggestion:

The Department of Defense should create a “civilian youth liaison program” that involves service members more deeply with young people in their communities, in order to shrink the growing civil-military gap and encourage greater enlistment.

The military - another lobbying group in Congress

Here's another example how under the disguise of national security they want all young people in the military.
This is nothing but a desperate attempt for the morons in the military to make themselves more relevant. They want to do this by forcing more people in the military than there are which will help them increase their numbers, get more money to finance the expansion in staff which will translate in higher salaries/power/waste.
The Military Union is dead and the morons over there need to give it up. Shut up and go back to your pathetic rathole! Too bad you're not the only sloths at the government trough. And don't even think of cooking up another provocation to suck us into your idiotic services.

If you're pissed about this

Then show up at their events:

Other upcoming events I'm sure are on the horizon.

You can also contact the Panetta Institute-tied in closely to this (non) think tank:

They're tomorrow, so if you can get in then good job.

Anybody know who funds the

Center for National Security "think tank"? Is it our tax money, or some special interest funding, I wonder. I hope the American people think for themselves and teach these neo-fascists not to dream of imposing "mandatory service" on a free people.

I've tried posting this three times, the internet is f*ked up

You have the wrong name for the think tank. It's the "Center for National Policy" (center for national security is a watchdog group not affiliated with the government.) Here's the Center for National Policy Board Members:

Chairman Peter Kovler The Marjorie Kovler Fund, Washington, DC
National Advisory Board Chairman Leon Panetta Panetta Institute, Monterey, CA
President Tim Roemer Center for National Policy, Washington, DC
Counsel Michael Evans Preston Gates, Washington, DC
Director Michael Barnes The Brady Center to Prevent Handgun Violence, Washington, DC
Director John Brademas New York University, New York, NY
Director John Bridgeland
Civic Enterprises, LLC, Washington, DC
Director Robert Brooks Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut, Storrs, CT
Director Jack Buechner Presidential Classroom, Alexandria, VA
Director Robert Cavnar Milagro Exploration, Houston, TX
Director Elizabeth Folsom
Academy for Educational Development, Washington, DC
Director John Freidenrich Regis Management Company, Palo Alto, CA
Director David Geanacopoulos Volkswagen of America, Washington, DC
Director Daniel Glickman Motion Picture Association of America, Washington, DC

Director Markos Kounalakis The Washington Monthly, Washington, DC
Director Maurice Tempelsman Lazare Kaplan International, New York, NY
Director Samuel Tenenbaum Lexington, SC
Director Peter Thoren

If you want to have some fun access what else these monsters are connected to by plugging their name into this website: www.theyrule.net and finding out if they're affiliated with any other organizations.

They are proposing that our children are their slaves.

Where I come from, those are fighting words. People are going to hit the streets if they keep pushing for this.

Is it me, or does it seem like the Establishment is trying to provoke the citizenry into open violent revolt? Over and over we hear about another overstep or abuse of power, violation of law, crimes against humanity and torture of regular everyday citizens. This is just a short list of things that really piss me off. These and the fact people can't even enjoy the beach or park after 10pm here in L.A. Those little freedoms are disappearing right before my eyes.

One of the main reasons I choose not to have children is because of the current political system in this country. It's this type of encroachment and tyrannical violation that will force good men and women to do whatever it takes to protect their children. Still the state acts as if they own us and our progeny. What arrogance and misconception they have. We are but chattel to them. Meat upon their plate.

I can't say this was a surprise. This has been coming down the pipeline for quite a while. God forbid.

Any mandatory labor for the government is unconstitutional, immoral, and unconscionable. We are not the property of the state.

Don't ya love it? The words "volunteers" and "mandatory"...

..in the same sentence. Ha.

Maybe they didn't think we'd notice or something. Gotta wonder about that.

More Orwellian Dialect from the NWO

The prong that applies here is: FREEDOM IS SLAVERY. Sadly, many Americans have been conditioned to accept Orwellian doublespeak as normal in today's society, and will buy into this without thinking for themselves.

I forgot to mention...

This is all too reminiscient of the voluntary federal income tax (for most Americans) that is made mandatory by deception and strong-arming innocent citizens.

lol!

not funny actually... but good observation.

Hey see-thru. They pushing this stuff in your neck of the woods?

In the spirit of "global community" I can't imagine you folks would be immune. But is there a serious push there like there is here?

You just volunteered...

oh but come on...

doesn't "national service" sound soooo much nicer than 'military draft'??

much more warm and fuzzy.

A rose by any other name... :)

Heh

Bump

I hope this gets to the front page cause it's so important. No mandatory service, no slavery to the state. Columbia will not be the NWO's slave army.
