And Canada's population is 40 mil, Israel 10 mil and Switzerland 9 mil.

Did they academically teach you math in the army?

Quite apart from it, Canada cannot fight the US and all Canada needs geopolitically is for Russia to have their teeth knocked out which is best to do economically right now anyway.

What's the real purpose of the service, to train children to be obedient monkeys? Good old fashioned conservative values?
The military has been over burdened in the last few years. Either we stop doing peacekeeping missions Add military ventures. Or we let genocide go crazy Rwanda another places and mind your own business. Or we do the opposite of these And take a military wing to help with the world .

As long as we have immigration as part of our platform the world is also our backyard. thus we need a military Until we change our policies. Most Canadians have unrealistic view points and where the money comes from To do all the things they want.

I'm all 4 changing the Canadian military mandate To fighting forest fires And limited strategic pc keeping initiatives. I was against Afghanistan not because it was a bad idea but because we would not commit the forces needed to succeed. We went with joke forces and accomplished nothing except for loss of life And false hope for the people there.

Do you like good people die and And do The military on the cheap. Or start to give the money and make them effective.
Conscription is necessary to make them affected at this point. women are better soldiers in the modern world than men. There are higher educated at more diplmatic. In a tech based world war strength is no longer needed.

A lot of countries such as Switzerland, Israel have mandatory military service and it seems be not only good for the country but also good for the individual. Right now recruitment is plummeting in Canada and we not only can't meet our NATO obligations and if we needed to defend our selves it would be a slaughter. Mandatory service gives an education, a chance for travel, not to mention direction, and discipline. Please discuss
All your points might be a conflict with the pussification agenda that’s been pushed now.

all very valid tho.

is it true that long before the pussification when the time came to be drafted real conservative patriots have been developing bone spurs?

A friend told me that many/all the Koreans on rooftops with long guns during the Rodney King riot were ex-Korean military (where service is compulsory). Military training comes in handy when there is a riot and they want to loot your store.

Countries with mandatory military service devote a huge chunk of their budget to the military and this is usually justified by them having enemies on their border.

do you not see the disconnect between two of your statements ?

young offenders convicted of major felonies ??

while the discipline of military training may be very beneficial to the odd misguided youth, the idea of platoons of gang bangers armed with automatic weapons is not a pretty picture
Who said anything about the youth offenders seeing combat duty? There are plenty of jobs in the armed forces which don't involve carrying a weapon, like digging ditches, peeling potatoes, cleaning toilets, etc. Highly-trained professionals are been wasted, if they have to perform those tasks after boot camp.

I thought that a stint of military discipline would do them a lot more good than incarceration, and would also serve as a disincentive to re-offend. It's a form of punishment which doesn't meet the legal definition of cruel and unusual.

Darts, all you need is a gun, a little firing practice (to hone in the sights) and the common sense to crouch behind cover.

I cannot believe that 1/3 so far voted for mandatory service. I would hate my parents guts if they genuinely wanted me to lose my freedom for 2 years in the name of discipline etc.

while I do not disagree a stint of military discipline would do them a lot good, you can not train a solder with the restriction of excluding them from potential combat
why not just outsource the digging ditches, peeling potatoes, cleaning toilets, etc. to the corrections department ?

How would you loose your freedom and what would your parents have any thing to do with this. At this time in history I'd kind of like to have a a well trained military for our country.

I am going to guess you've never served seeing that you use well trained and mandatory draft in the same sentence and also that you don't appreciate that mandatory draft is very much like a sentence that you serve except you haven't been convicted of a crime.

Yes it will be about idea to have male Service. Toxic m After all. If you get enough young women for us to join the men will follow anyway. The mount of sex between female and male service people what's constant When I visited military bases. I think it was illegal but it happened anyway.

How does Finland justify it? Who is the enemy on their border.

I could ask the question for lots of countries, but feel free to answer for just this one.

If military service is mandatory that will unleash an epidemic of bone spurs, we will have to do lockdowns and shit again.
