Is The American Youth Ready For Conscription?
Authored by Jay Johnson, originally posted at SputnikNews.com,
The shining future that America once had is all but a page note in the history books now. Record numbers not in the workforce, failed foreign policies and domestic strife is the new normal. And how is the brain trust in DC going to solve these problems? National service for all 18 - to 28-year-olds!
All across the land, people were smiling and laughing. World War II had just ended and America suddenly found itself to be the manufacturing capital of the world. There were plenty of jobs for the average man and the future was bright, even if you didn't have a college degree. In fact, not many people had a degree, and yet, for those that didn’t, they were still able to buy a car, a house, take several weeks of vacation a year and still be able to have food on the table. Although this was the new normal at the time, today’s new normal is something quite different.
In America today, there are close to 50 million people living in poverty and there are more than 100 million people that get money from the federal government every month. As the middle class continues to disintegrate, poverty is climbing to unprecedented levels. Even though the stock market has been setting record high after record high, the amount of anger and frustration boiling just under the surface in our nation grows with each passing day.
As an example of just how bad off joe-sixpack is these days, the WSJ notes that — “Only 38% said they could cover a $500 repair bill or a $1,000 emergency room visit with funds from their bank accounts.” A person quoted in that article said — “A solid majority of Americans say they have a household budget, but too few have the ability to cover expenses outside their budget without going into debt or turning to family and friends for help.” Further on in that article a survey noted that — “… an unexpected bill would cause 26% to reduce spending elsewhere, while 16% would borrow from family or friends and 12% would put the expense on a credit card. The remainder didn’t know what they would do or would make other arrangements.” Basically, people don’t have any money. But how can that be? Hasn’t Obama saved the American economy? Isn’t the official unemployment rate near 5 1/2 %?
To answer this question, Jim Clifton over at Gallup wrote — “if you, a family member or anyone is unemployed and has subsequently given up on finding a job — if you are so hopelessly out of work that you've stopped looking over the past four weeks — the Department of Labor doesn't count you as unemployed. That's right. While you are as unemployed as one can possibly be, and tragically may never find work again, you are not counted in the figure we see relentlessly in the news — currently 5.6%. Right now, as many as 30 million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed. Trust me, the vast majority of them aren't throwing parties to toast "falling" unemployment.” He goes on to note another reason behind the misleading numbers — “Say you're an out-of-work engineer or healthcare worker or construction worker or retail manager: If you perform a minimum of one hour of work in a week and are paid at least $20 — maybe someone pays you to mow their lawn — you're not officially counted as unemployed in the much-reported 5.6%.” But, it doesn’t stop there. He lists the third reason — “….those working part time but wanting full-time work. If you have a degree in chemistry or math and are working 10 hours part time because it is all you can find — in other words, you are severely underemployed — the government doesn't count you in the 5.6%.” He sums up his article by saying — “The official unemployment rate, which cruelly overlooks the suffering of the long-term and often permanently unemployed as well as the depressingly underemployed, amounts to a Big Lie.”
So, there you have it. The Obama recovery is a big scam. Propaganda, some might say. A facade hiding the festering sore below the surface of polite society. But actually, it is possible to see this by just looking at the headlines over the last few years — “Five teenagers were arrested when a 600-person brawl broke out in a Florida movie theater's parking lot on Christmas night” or — “Hundreds of teens trash mall in wild flash mob”. In fact, the list goes on and on. What at one time would have been a huge talking point in the media circuit has now just become back page article. So, with the sky-rocketing youth unemployment rate, many government officials are asking what can be done. Not necessarily to provide work- but to create a safety valve for society. And it appears that the answer to this question is — “National service for all 18- to 28-year-olds”.
That’s right. It’s called national service. Not the draft, or conscription or any other word that would have negative connotations. National Service! For your patriotic duty! National Review addressed this issue when it wrote
“ Require virtually every young American — the civic-minded millennial generation — to complete a year of service through programs such as Teach for America, AmeriCorps, the Peace Corps, or the U.S. military, and two things will happen:
1. Virtually every American family will become intimately invested in the nation's biggest challenges, including poverty, education, income inequality, and America's place in a world afire.
2. Military recruiting will rise to meet threats posed by ISIS and other terrorist networks, giving more people skin in a very dangerous game.”
So, there you have it. Instead of creating real jobs and rebuilding America and by employing a clever use of language to not call it what it really is — forced slave labor, the brain trust in DC is going to wrap the flag around more failed foreign policies to make sure that everyone suffers. Just like Status Quo sang in that song —“A vacation in a foreign land, Uncle Sam does the best he can.You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now. Now you remember what the draft man said, nothing to do all day but stay in bed. You’re in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now.”
So, what do you think, “Are the American youth ready for conscription?”

It wouldn't last 6 months, just the same as any plan to use US troops domestically: 2 words "Unit Cohesion". Send kids off to some bullshit new war now and they're all dead. Send troops in domestically, and they're fucked. Unit cohesion is critical and when you lose it, you lose. They're fucked. It's just a matter of waiting at this point.
Please pass the popcorn.
We've seen exactly that in Ukraine.
I really hope they re institute the draft. I really do.
My sister will flly to DC herself and rip Peace Prize's giblets off with her bare hands before she lets Lurch Kerry or Icky Vicky Noodleman send her precious boys into some war for Ziobanksters and Israel
The article comes from the National Journal, not the National Review. POS idea either way.
With Love to our benevolent big brother:
Try it. Fucking do it. See how that brilliant experiment works out.
As Seneca wrote in De clementia, "Repeated punishment, while it crushes the hatred of a few, stirs the hatred of all . . . just as trees that have been trimmed throw out again countless branches."
Everything these idiots plan and scheme will result in their own demise. They are trapped in the Red Queen hypothesis. They are fucked. We are the fucking mice and our kind will still be around long after they're all gone.
Read the 13th Amendment. I've had a copy of it with me every time I've been called for jury duty. Fortunately I've never had to use it. I certainly would have been cited for contempt of court and possibly thrown in jail.
One man's conscription is another man's job. They fear rebellion from unemployed youth, easier to pay them a pittance than have to later brutalize them at demonstrations. And let's face it, most young people would rather have a job as opposed to living forever in their parents' basement.
Oh, so become slaves of the government, which caused the economic nightmare in the first place. EVERY SINGLE thing Obama proposes is just further expansion of his despotic tyranny. In 2008 he said, I will transform America, exactly what he has done and he has no shame. Even speaks of his legacy. His presidency has been a curse to individual liberty.
Except the dipshits who think they are in change have no plan to give peasants any relief from poverty. There will be no mobilization or money for anyone, their plan is to permanently destroy independent minded people as a class.
it starts as one-year service to get it going but pretty soon it will get extended to 48 month active battle duty for every one. Soros is counting on that, of course. Trust me those fuckers are starting WW3 as we speak. All pices are almost put together.
FDR did the same thing in what he called Civilian Conservation Corps, which effectively preped American youth for military obedience training and skills needed for the wars he was told to fight. Of course, he hid tne true intention from both the Americans and the world.
The Civil Conservation Corps built bridges, roads, and dams.
It put Americans to work when the business world had no use for them.
The true purpose was to prep them for the uocoming war according to FDR himself.
This is what I see coming. God damn these people. Thank God my Daughter can chose to be a Japanese national at 18. Yes Japan is fucked economically but Homosexual shit fuck in Obama's ass aint going to be nationized and stupid brown black crime is nonexistant there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Fundemental transformation" you stupid motherfuckers deserve this.
Wow, that would be a lot more people needing conversion to fire wood ;0
Obama has done a good job of snookering millenials to believe blacks dont hate whites, gay marriage is honorable, and the confederate flag should be burned but dont think he can entice them out of mom's house, video games, and free health care for a Civilian Consevation Corps where they made about $400 month in todays money. CCC paid $30 a month
Unfortunately, now that TPA has passed, it will only get worse. Obama is a wolf in sheep's clothing. So is Hillary Clinton. They are the same person. Both cater to the interests of the ultra elite. Both tell the masses that they are the answer. Both have and both will continue to screw those poor gullible souls over royally, stealing from the poor to give to the rich.
Its easy, just tell them their student loan debt will be wiped off the books.
“Why of course the people don’t want war … But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship … Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
– Hermann Goering, Nazi leader.
If it happened I would and would urge everyone else who perhaps has a son or sons eligible toget enslaved to not waste their time.
I would advise them to learn as much as they could, about sniping, bomb making detection avoidance, secure communications, secret networking how to plan false flags and conflagration and torture techniques.
Then on return after their time is up, to use that knowledge, induct their comrades, and prepare to use it to save their country.
By eliminating the illegally armed theiving pig armies, by sussing out the CIA scum and the fucking hitlerian bureaucrats and slaughter them like the fucking sand pigs in Syria and Iraq and Afghanistan , then go after the cunts in the state department, and wall st and that's where the torture tequniques will come to the fore. Save the best for kagan and nuland and pyatt. But when the fucking evil fucking faggot nigger monkey is run down make what happened to ghadaffi look like they were giving him a blowjob..
Then it will be a job well done. Deserving of medals and hero status
Thats not NATIONAL REVIEWS position. the link goes to NATIONAL JOURNAL.
BarackHomObammaTheCocksuckerOfCabalBankstersPromotingJewhadToLootTheWholeWorld :
"You know, de shtoodents have taken huge loans wheech dey are not able to pay, in dat situation, it is best in the interest of dem and de nation dat they serve meelitary for at least 5 years, and den wee will think about pardon of deir debt".
(if they survive the nuclear war)

What Americans should do in the situation :
1. Do not join military
2. If forced , destroy your equipments, machinary & weapons or cause it to be. And enjoy the fireworks.
Come on LGBT community, step up to the plate! Let's see all you gays and trannies pick up a gun and fight for your country, you know, the same country you forced to recognize your "right to love"
Never going to happen. Every stupid idea from the World War 2 playbook to distract the populace is going to fall on its face. This time it is an internal conflict that is confronting the American aristocrat class. They are not up to it.
Great idea. Sent the fucking retard tumblr crowd to fight. If they live, they'll know what real tragedy and oppression are; if they die, that'll work too. It's a win/win
I don't know what basic is like now with this whole faggot love thing, but back in the late 80s/early 90s Ft. Jackson Tank Hill was a good place to learn some discipline and respect and basic infantry skills.
But after spending a decade in the Middle East and seeing what the idiot politicians are doing, fuck joining the Army. You can learn discipline from flying a plane, sailing a boat, reading a book.
If I had a kid, nowadays I would tell him to join the Coast Guard, enjoy the sun, learn how to fly a helicopter and milk the system without getting his balls blown off (as happens quite often in the Army these days which no one is talking about:

Sounds to me like Canada is going to get a whole lot of new citizens ! Ala Vietnam !
Problem is Canada is now also run by ZioNazi warmongers.
The LGBT brigade loves this. Millions of homos will join up now (its legal in the USA miltary). They will bring the LGBT agenda to Russia and kill those mean heterosexuals.
So let me guess this applies only to males? He for she dude, conscript all those 18-28 year old women so they can't pop out kids and live on benefits.
Send the thugs and gangbangers to Syria, Iraq, Africa, Afghanistan and don't bring them back.
Future Farcebook status update:
It's still hot. Climate change sux! Why do we have to wear this shitty camo all the time? Ran out of moisturiser today. Asked my CO if I could order some off eBay. He yelled at me, he's such a dick. I hate Irak!
Very clever, these psychopath devil elites are. First they drive up college costs beyond any rational level, with outlandish pensions, facilities, salaries. Parents are encouraged to take out second mortgages on their homes to pay for this exhorbidant expense out of fear their kids won't get descent job. Finally, the housing market collapses, as the job market tanks and jobs are moved to third world countries. Today's "youth" are on the hook for loans, that they could never repay. Opps...National Service is purposed. Delay the entry of young people into the job market for 2 years and in exchange their loans vanish. Parents can then get their 26 year old "children" off their health insurance, or knowing the masterminds, while force the parent to keep them so that their injuries and illness caused by the National Service is paid for.
This is how they got everyone hooked on credit cards. In the 1970's when inflation was rampant it sounded great to run up your credit card because the interest on credit cards, homes and auto loan was deductible. You paid things back with cheaper money. Of course, the elites slowly eliminated the tax deduction, after everyone was trained to be debt slaves.
these projects will be little more than indoctrnation and marxist training camps, sorta like the Hitler Youth.
If this happens, let's use all the spare Mexicans we have first.
We make the ones with the brand "MS-13" platoon leaders since they're so bad ass....
The ones that shrug their shoulders and say "No Englaise" become the ammo carriers.
Hitler did exactly the same path in 1935 when he required 4 years of national service for all Germans. All people know what happened afterwards. These ideas remain quite disturbing as history repeats itself.
Grab your jaded helmets and get ready for the end of the Third World Fourth Reich that the rest of the planet is sick of paying for.
free medical care
free food
free room and board
won't have to listen to your parents anymore
snap
got you by the balls
lots of lunkers out there
What about doing some kind of Battle Royale thingee?
Mandatory service to get people "employed" in the military? Moar borrowing from the future I see. Short term gain on the employment numbers until when? When they are done with their service and then they are all out looking for jobs again?
There are no adults left, only fucking stupid idiotic politicians who can't make hard decisions to do the right thing.
