Show Your Dedicated Support for Your Favorite War-Mongering Presidential Candidate by Enlisting in the Military, Now!

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared in the comments section of this post, by the page, “Being Libertarian,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"From the polling lines to the front lines. Women are standing up to Russia. Pre-register for the draft today. https://www.sss.gov/Home/Registration. I ❤ H (HillaryClinton.com)"

“From the polling lines to the front lines. Women are standing up to Russia. Pre-register for the draft today. https://www.sss.gov/Home/Registration. I ❤ H (HillaryClinton.com)”

My Commentary: If only this meme wasn’t a joke…*sigh* Then again, it could possibly qualify as prophetic…

Senate Votes to Require Women to Register for the Draft:

But, seriously, though…

You’re with her? Sounds like you have some signing up to do!

What’s that you say? You’re “too old”? Well, actually… not if you’re under 40! The Air Force, the Navy Reserve, the Air National Guard, and Coast Guard Reserve, are ALL still looking for a few good women! And, if you’re between 34-35, you even have up to five more options than these! So, I suggest you get moving, and dutifully prove your commitment to your favorite candidate! You’ll probably beat the lines, if you head out today! Your local recruiting station eagerly awaits your enlistment!

Wait… You’re actually looking to “Make America Great Again,” you say? Sweet! Sounds like you have some signing up to do, too!

That’s right! Both major candidates are pro-war! And, in case you haven’t noticed, America’s endless wars aren’t just going to fight themselves!

Never Forget That, in the End, Every Law is Enforced at Gunpoint, and Under Threat of Abduction and Imprisonment

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Voluntary Virtues Network,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"There should be a draft where every young person has to do one year of something - military, public works - something so that we feel invested in the same game, because that's the part we've lost." - John Stewart ""We should extort money from people and pay men with guns to force people to do arbitrary, and sometimes criminal things, for at least a year. That way, we'd all feel united as slaves." - Translation, by Jeff Berwick

My Commentary: Never forget that, in the end, every law is enforced at gunpoint, and under threat of abduction and imprisonment. So, please stop suggesting the use of State violence against peaceful people in your hopelessly naive, pathetically misguided attempt to “help.”

Think volunteer public service is a good idea? Cool! Then, get off your ass, and get to work! Try leading by example, and stop stooping to coercion!

Discussing the American Public’s General Apathy About Endless Wars

The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Supporting America’s Wars is Easy… When Not Actually Fighting in Them!“…

Rayn: Hypocritical cowards support America’s wars, because they don’t have to fight them.

Draft! Draft! Draft! Draft! Draft! Draft! Draft!

Apaths only understand self-preservation!

“War is delightful to those who have had no experience of it.” – Desiderius Erasmus

“War is delightful to those who have had no experience of it.” – Desiderius Erasmus

Brian J.: Very true. But self preservation is the most important thing in life. Otherwise, why buy food and pay for your bills?

Rayn: Exactly! And, that’s why I wrote, “draft, draft, draft”!
