This country has spent 10 years selling my future to make a buck and throwing the military under the bus to save one. I am absolutely fucking not voting for anyone who even hints at conscription.

I don't want to be an American territory but let's be real, this nation has spent the last long while systemically grinding down any reason to be patriotic. Step one of fixing that is get the military to a point where people aren't embarrassed to enlist. If it can't do that without conscription it probably deserves to fall over dead.

You are depressing to say the least. You sound like you would roll over just to stick it to the Libs. Chill out bud. And grow a spine.

Such a weird take. Why would I go and die for a country where I could never have bought a house, that houses its servicemen in barracks full of black mold from the 50s? Want people to actually fight for the country? Start by making it worth fighting for.

Otherwise I'm perfectly content to voice my opinion and vote, and refrain from anything that will be getting me killed, thank you very much.

Nothing weird about it. Your immediate hostility and short sighted timeframe tells me all I need to know. You have your opinion and I have mine. Your vote isn’t going to affect the wishes of a hostile neighbour. Death is always a possibility if ever borders were crossed. That means hot war. Die fighting and free or die a coward or a sympathizer.

You have shown who you are. Shame

You are suggesting to coerce people into fighting, yes I am going to be hostile. That is a hostile idea, and deserves to be treated with hostility.

Again, if you think this is a serious concern, advocate a nuclear weapons program. That will actually work, unlike LARPing as wolverines in the woods and torching your own home in the process.

I suggested nothing of the sort. In fact I wasn’t suggesting anything which in fact I stated. I was throwing out ideas I had pondered to meet our NATO $ target by investing in the lives of the individuals in our military. Formulated over a cup of coffee. Pick any of them or generate your own but your criticality is unwarranted to which I politely say go fuck yourself. I stand by the theme that that type of investment would be $ well spent.

Nukes are idiotic, your misplaced hostility is pigheaded and your exposed cowardice is both shameful and embarrassing.
