This whole racial supporter subgroup thing is unbelieveable. It's so self evidently wrong, regardless of the degree of unlikability of the people in each group. I've been on the fence over the years regarding mandatory military service, as a former Marine myself, but I'm beginning to think that difficult competitive service to the country probably should be mandatory. That service needn't be military only, but it needs to be hard and competitive. It's hard to think of yourself as worthless when you do hard things with others and make it through. The state of the citizenry seems utterly pathetic. Sorry Yuri, I can't find humour in the memes. They just bum me out, especially in the current news cycle which finds Kamala a possible winner.

"I've been on the fence over the years regarding mandatory military service, as a former Marine myself, but I'm beginning to think that difficult competitive service to the country probably should be mandatory."

You've answered your own question as to why compulsory service, not even military, probably would not work in today's American society: "The state of the citizenry seems utterly pathetic." Decades of participation trophies, societal emasculation, and helicopter parenting have brought us to this point. Mandatory service isn't going to solve the problem.

Moreover, the average red-blooded American male - primarily southern - who used to comprise the backbone of the American military learned through decades of pointless wars of choice and lying politicians that there's no longer a point.

Replying to you and @benjaminholm280032 below at the same time: I think compulsory service of some kind would work if it was hard, competitive, and demanded teamwork (getting through OCS in the Marines was all of that on steroids) because, on average people are more good than bad. I say the citizenry SEEMS pathetic, but that's because we see pathetic subsamples of the overall pool of citizens, like these self-flagellating racial groups, who get all the press because... sensationalism. The proof that people, on average, are more good than bad, and that we are better off when there are more of us than less, and when we are together as opposed to apart, is so obvious I'm not going to go into it. Shared effort, difficulty, goals and achievement are goods which are undervalued in the current "anti-human" marketplace. Go run ten miles in full uniform with a 40lb pack on your back and steel helmet on your head in a Company of 4 * 40 man platoons, through a swamp in Virginia in the summer, and your platoon doesn't get credit unless everybody in it crosses the finish line... you'll learn a lot about what it means to be a citizen, just a plain old human, pretty quickly. You'll also find out which humans just can't cut it, and it's a low number, because... teamwork, caring, effort. 100K self-hating people in some racial group on a zoom call? Forget about it. They represent a small, unfortunate subset of the citizenry. The more likely reason compulsory service will never happen is the death of "merit" as a perceived good. That's a whole 'nuther rant I don't have time for this morning.

I think the "challenging " part is right at least. Im pretty sure that's why the Marines hit their recruiting quotas. Forever, their advertising has said "you arent good enough to be a Marine, and I dare you to try!". And even in spite of lowered standards, it's clearly still the toughest service to get into and survive. And the vibe that even the average Marine is a cut above the rest means a lot.

Kids still want something challenging...

But, but, but, isn't valuing merit now disdained as "ableism"? <blink, blink>

Have you read Robert Heinlein's "Starship Troopers"? The society in that story requires some form of voluntary service (military is one possibility) in order to earn the franchise.

Won't give some years to society, no vote for you. Totally voluntary whether to serve.

Expand full comment

Current military, OCS type, not a Marine, less than 20 years under my belt but not by much.

I do not think compulsory service is worth the effort. By the time folks are value-added, assuming a two-year term of enlistment including training (force compulsory into particular job types where you have shortfalls and training pipeline is shorter, like truck drivers et al...) the brunt of the pain is on volunteer junior NCOs and junior warrant officers (where applicable). You can make it Suck Less by having accession programs for the compulsory folks and this may end the recruiting shortfall, but you have signed the volunteer force up for cat herding eating up 70% of their capacity, even assuming some restructuring.

It would also cost a crapload of money. Now, if you put them through a multi-week training period "in the event of conscription" where they get marksmanship, Combat Life Saver, road marches, field training exercise etc. this becomes a problem compartmentalized to training commands such as Army TRADOC (Training and Doctrine Command) and it becomes easier for the services to absorb and you get most of the societal benefit at a fraction of the cost. Make it a part of public record if you tried to scam out of it or BS-ed your way to a medical or admin chapter/separation.

Not that I run anything but the two mile, but my thoughts on the subject.

I do not think that this would ever pass Congress, incidentally.

I agree that mandatory military service serves the interests of our nation better than a modern day Roman Legion who gladly goes without question anywhere the imperialist sends them.

I spent 32 years in the Marine Corps and although a conscripted service is not best for good order and discipline and the NCO’s who would bare the brunt of dealing with non volunteers, it still would be in America’s best interest as draftees will not go blindly into battle without a good reason.

America could be much more non interventional with drafted service members.

"America could be much more non interventional with drafted service members."

The 'skin-in-the-game' dilemma. Sadly, even with selective service the impact is still felt predominantly by the lower income segment of society. As we saw with Vietnam, the sons of the wealthy and/or connected - the ones who profit from wars of choice - managed to get deferments to avoid service.

And when the standards were too high for the poorest of poor, McNamara and LBJ lowered those standards so they could enlist McNamara’s Morons. Who fit into those lowest standards? The poor brown and black men that democrats always say they are fighting for.

Weird way to show that they cared.

The “better” men in American society will always find a way to weasel their way out of military service, regardless of their race.

No, no, no…conscription is well worth the risk. I was drafted in the middle of my first semester of grad school in 1969. I hated it and felt put upon. But a couple years later I realized I had met and worked with men I never would have known otherwise. I learned how to temper my emotions and think things through. I’m old now and look upon that time as a positive turning point in my life. I have a kinship with every guy or gal I meet who has shared the experience. I love the USA and work to improve not destroy our heritage. Yeah, some rich kids “got off,” but the real downside is that we elect them to political offices. Think, people, think. We live in a hostile world where “everyone” wants what we have, not realizing that they will destroy it because they have not put a farthing into it. God help my kids.

I would be wary of compulsory military service because I see them trying to build a Red Army, with the military leadership going full DIE.

The racial supporter thing is built purely on bully tactics. People fall in line because they're told they're a racist/bigot if they don't. The people doing it are the types most likely to be hysterics who will confront you and shriek in your face, etc. Most people don't want to deal with them so they do whatever to get them to go away or leave them alone. They are the people that need to be dealt with if the right is to get control and fix this country, restore some semblance of sanity.

Branson, first of all, thanks for your service. There are a lot of people in the U. S. who you'll never hear about, who appreciate the military and the police. I never served in the military. I turned 18 in 1970--right in the middle of the Vietnam conflict. When I got home from school one day, my twin brother told me: "you got your draft card in the mail. It says you're 1A." (1A meant you were first choice to be called up.) I was a little durprised. I was even more surprised when he continued, "And, guess what. On the back it says "totally blind." This intrigued me. So, I called the draft board people. I was told: "We don't doubt that you're a blind guy. However, everybody's classified 1a until they get called up. Then, when you get your physical, you shojuld be probably classified. . . . Except, well, sometimes, the process doesn't work the way it should--which means that's there's a slight possibility that you might be drafted, anyway. In case that actually happens, where would you like to go?" I thought for aminute, and told him I thought it might be interesting to be stationed in one of those observation post things--where you get to direct airplanes to blast stuff. I was never called up, so we'll never know. :)

Getting into Vietnam was "Hey, Bubba. Hold my beer and watch this..." on steroids.

The French were there before the USA and after years of effort threw their hands in the air, their berets to the ground and left in disgust.

So, the USA is standing there drinking a cold one, watching, and decides he just has to step up and put his d1ck in the meat grinder...

At the risk of being an eternal optimist, I'd like to suggest that things aren't nearly as bad as our mainstream news media suggests. You know the mainstream news media: interested only in the truth; just full of journalistic integrity; not concerned with saying what's politically correct rather than giving us accurate and unbiased news; never ever ever progandastic. Yeah: those guys. As "great" a job as they've done presenting the news, they may have missed it on this one. I firmly believe thre are a ton of people out there who never make news coverage, and who don't influence anybody on social media. For example, I was in a class of home-schooled kids that a couple of my grandkids attend. The students were respectful, polite, motivated, happy, well-adjusted. In other words, according to the mainstream news, they were abnormal and quite possibly potentially subversive. If we ever had a war, or a comparable crisis, I'd want kids and adults like these at my back. We truly do need to start actively pushing the news media to reform. How much longer can we allow them to divide, depress, and desparage us?

Why is it wrong? Do you get to decide for others how much their racial identity matters?

Expand full comment

It's wrong to suggest that pretty much anything other than the laws of physics represents a necessary truth for anyone other than yourself. I'm not doing that. If you feel poorly about yourself because of some immutable characteristic you may have (your race, or your belly button is convex or concave), that's fine, but there's no reason I need to feel the same way regardless of what kind of belly button I have. I'm saying "identity" is a poor defining characteristic. My "lived experience" doing difficult"ish" stuff which I'm "manifesting" here is that if folks had more dents in their dinner pails from doing and achieving and overcoming things together, they would realize that Martin Luther King was right about the importance of character, which is not immutable, in the collective effort to do good things (like run ten miles as a group, be good to one another or run a country). I argue that we share good character in an abundance that only a small minority does not enjoy. You hang your hat on on any identity you want, Grand Moff. Some people wash out, but most don't. Some people who think identity is important don't wash out. I'm going to stand with the folks exhibiting strong, positive, shared character, regardless of their immutable characteristics. At the end of the day, those people never wash out, because even if they fall their countless friends will carry them across the FP on their shoulders if they have to. My mom said, "You are who your friends are." I want all kinds, and I aspire to be like all of the best of them.

I need some help from the group. First, I must have a character flaw, because, although I've been a white guy all my life, I don't feel automatically worthless and guilty. Do I need therapy? Second, I have to tell you that I am a blind guy. Over six decades or more, I've developed the belief that nobody said life was gong to be fair. I've found that I seem to reach hearts and minds better if I work extra hard to overcome obstacles rather than by blaming everybody else and demanding recompense. (Did I spell that right?) What's the matter with me? Third, I was wondering if it'd be ok to join the "white women for Harris" group. I could either tell them that I "feel like a woman", although I actually don't. Or, I could tell them that, to keep them from being uninclusive and discriminatory I should be allowed to join, and if they ever got into things like showing--um--pictures of themselves that were revealing and private, I'd promise not to look. What do you guys think?
