Rightwingers are flirting with a new military draft. Could it help disillusioned young men? (UK Guardian article).

I was asked to participate

I was asked for my thoughts on a possible forced selective service registration policy of military aged youth for an article in The Guardian (UK)

Of course, I believe the entire Empire are extreme rightwing, war criminals and it has nothing to do with partisan politics—-I have quoted my bits and linked the entire article.

Rightwingers are flirting with a new military draft. Could it help disillusioned young men? by John Semley

Cindy Sheehan, an American anti-war activist and former vice-presidential nominee for the Peace and Freedom party, compares the Project 2025 vision of America to “Sparta without any honor”. Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed by enemy action in 2004 during the Iraq war, says that “there is already too much military recruitment in secondary schools. Students should be focused on learning and preparing for a healthy future without being preyed upon by military recruiters.”

Sheehan says that recruiters, and the whole military apparatus, rely in part on the idea of an “esprit de corps”. Such values, however, rarely square with the violent reality of life in the military, and the sense of increased social alienation many Americans experience when they return from war zones and readjust to civilian life.
