You’ve Been Warned: Calls for Mandatory “National Service” for Americans Aged 18-28 Has Begun – Michael Krieger
TND Guest Contributor: Michael Krieger |
CHAPTER ONE
War is a Racket
WAR is a racket. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.
A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small “inside” group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.
– From Major General Smedley Butler’s War is a Rackett
This is one of the most important articles I will write all year. The statists are coming for your kids, and the conditioning has already begun.
Last night, I came across one of the most horrifying articles I have ever read, which is saying a lot. Before I get into it, take a look at the title and the tagline:
If you think the title is bad, wait until you read the article. What becomes evident is that this grotesque concept of forced “national service” is being actively discussed at the highest levels of government. What Ron Fournier is doing in his National Journal article is conditioning the public to accept something that is completely unacceptable.
Before we get to that, who is Ron Fournier? National Journal provides a bio:
Ron Fournier is the Senior Political Columnist and Editorial Director of National Journal. Prior to joining NJ, he worked at the Associated Press for 20 years, most recently as Washington Bureau Chief. A Detroit native, Fournier began his career in Arkansas, first with the Hot Springs Sentinel-Record and then with the Arkansas Democrat and the AP, where he covered the state legislature and Gov. Bill Clinton. In January 1993, Fournier moved to Washington, where he covered the White House and presidential campaigns for the AP.
So basically, this guy covered Bill Clinton in Arkansas, moved to the District of Criminals after he was elected President, and now wants to convince you to subject your innocent children into mandatory service to a nation provably run by corrupt criminals and oligarchs.
It sure is some twisted notion of “shared sacrifice,” when those who had nothing to do with the disastrous choices made by the oligarchy are the ones who have to suffer the consequences.
Let’s now take this piece of Nazi-esque propaganda apart piece by piece. From the National Journal:
I know a better way to fight ISIS. It starts with an idea that should appeal the better angels of both hawks and doves: National service for all 18- to 28-year-olds.
Require virtually every young American—the civic-minded millennial generation—to complete a year of service through programs such as Teach for America, AmeriCorps, the Peace Corps, or the U.S. military, and two things will happen:
First of all, he confidently proclaims that this scheme will appeal to both hawks and doves. Based on what evidence? Let me provide some evidence against his argument based on a recent Rasmussen poll that 45% of U.S. Voters Concerned Government Will Use Military Training Exercises for Power Grab. Here’s an excerpt from the findings:
Just 20% of voters now consider the federal government a protector of individual liberty. Sixty percent (60%) see the government as a threat to individual liberty instead. Only 19% trust the federal government to do the right thing all or most of the time.
So the American public has no confidence in government, but somehow they are going to gladly line up to serve the corrupt oligarchy? Of course not, which is why people like Ron Fornier want to make it mandatory. Now back to the piece…
1. Virtually every American family will become intimately invested in the nation’s biggest challenges, including poverty, education, income inequality, and America’s place in a world afire.
2. Military recruiting will rise to meet threats posed by ISIS and other terrorist networks, giving more people skin in a very dangerous game.
This may seem like a radical plan until you compare it with two alternatives: the status quo, which clearly isn’t working, or a military draft, which might be the boldest and fairest way to wage the long war against Islamic extremists.
Notice how he offers us only three options, as if that is all the imaginative well of humanity is capable of coming up with. Forced national service, the status quo or a draft. Nowhere does he offer the logical alternative of say: stop preemptively invading and destroying countries for no reason (Iraq, Libya to name a few). Perhaps then idiotic foreign policy decisions won’t create ISIS in the first place.
This is an important lesson in how statists operate. They only offer you statist choices. Kind of like being forced to choose between a Clinton and a Bush for President.
The Draft Act is highly unlikely to be law, given the nation’s post-Vietnam resistance to the mandatory military service and the relative success of an all-volunteer armed forces. Which leads me to the year-of-service plan: It stops far short of a draft while drawing on the ethos of communal sacrifice.
Notice how he cleverly started the piece by mentioning the Peace Corps, Teach for America, etc, and only listed the military at the end? Pure smoke and mirrors. His entire point is to push for mandatory military service. No one wants to fight any more unnecessary wars to boost corporate profits, and any statist worth his or her salt knows full well mandatory conscription will be necessary in order to maintain the power position and wealth of the status quo going forward.
Finally, just in case you think this is merely some hack journalist mouthing off, Mr. Fournier makes it clear that this is being discussed at the highest levels of government.
I spoke about the concept with retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who commanded forces in Afghanistan and Iraq and now chairs the Franklin Project, part of the Aspen Institute that is trying to position a year of full-time national service—a service year—as a “cultural expectation, a common opportunity, and a civic rite of passage for every young American.” His logic tracks with mine.
Second, if this president or his successor gets serious about ISIS, McChrystal said the effort would require an international coalition and more U.S. troops. “Even if we didn’t need a draft” to drum up the required troops, McChrystal said, “I would argue we need a draft, because it forces national commitment.”
Forced national commitment to a government nobody believes in. Can’t wait to see how that works out.
“A problem in America is we’ve let the concept of citizenship diminish into a series of gripes,” McChrystal told me. “One of the ways we can rebuild that sense of ownership, sense of shared ownership, is through experience, and so I believe that every young person deserves—I don’t think this is an onerous thing—deserves the experience of being part of something bigger than themselves.”
No General McChrystal, we have let the concept of democracy diminish into a corrupt, thieving oligarchy. In case you need proof: New Report from Princeton and Northwestern Proves It: The U.S. is an Oligarchy.
Furthermore, you don’t “rebuild ownership” by forcing citizens to serve an oligarchy they hate, you “rebuild ownership” by dismantling the oligarchy.
Bowing to political realities in risk-averse Washington, the Franklin Project aims to make a service year a social expectation rather than a legal requirement. I would mandate it. So would McChrystal—if he had his way.
Statists gonna state.
While ISIS and other terrorist groups are having no trouble recruiting suicide bombers, McChrystal said, Americans are struggling to redefine their national identity for the 21st century. “A year of service for young Americans would be a step,” he said. “Not a panacea, a step.”
This paragraph unintentionally says a lot. You want to fight an army of radical volunteers created by your own foreign policy crimes by forcing people who have no trust in their government to join the military? It’s an idea so stupid and destructive, only a rabid statist could conceive it.
Before concluding, I want to emphasize how dangerous this line of thinking is. It is precisely because I see these sorts of things coming down the road, that I do what I do with this website. The only way to stop statist plans like these is to win the war of ideas before they have a chance to dazzle you with their next bit of propaganda.
Stay vigilant and keep fighting.

Just another DISHONORABLE CRIMINAL GENERAL! So if HE did his oath, what did he do to say NO while wearing his uniform? Nothing! He did nothing but “Early Retire” or “Retire” when he confronted this criminal action! He is a High Treasonous Dishonorable Lowlife Scumbag General, who deserve to spend life in jail and in hell for eternity.
The 10s of million war vets who died in war gave their lives, yet this (AS ALL) dishonorable duschbag scum Generals and Admirals did whaT? Couldn’t give up a rank/grade, or say No Sir I will NOT follow that ordero and get arrested; nor want to go to jail, but instead, act dishonorably cowardly and early retire to collect your $15,000+ a month bribe money to remain quiet… So what are you doing to form a group of patriots or make plans to stop the criminal actions inside our nation doay? Just run to the bank the 1st of the month and cash our bribed monthly paycheck to keep you quiet, and let them do whatever they want.
So Mr High Treasonous General, what did you do while you wore your uniform to “Fight” the crimes you seen? Right – NOTHING! So what proof do you have you dishonorable traiter to the US nation and flag that you were “Forced Out”? Nothing but your high treasonous worthless LIES and WORD RIGHT? Why can’t a single General or Admiral provide EVEN ONE DOCUMENT TO PROVE A SINGLE ONE WERE “FIRED”, and they did not “Voluntarily Early Retire”.
So Mr General. Where are all your FAKE FELLOW GENERALS AND ADMIRALS who are Mad as Hell against our Government? Right – No where but hiding from the public because they would be lynched for the crimes they did while in uniform! Why not Gather as 1 group; or march to the White House or in DC; Or speak to the media AS 1 GROUP OF DISGRUNTLED OFFICERS? Is it because your very crimes while in uniform will be released to the public of the criminal orders you all approved and ordered down to the troops, as they passed your desk and you approved? These would be crimes against your Oaths now wouldn’t it, and PROVE to the world you each were knowingly agreeing to do criminal illegal actions against the US Laws? WE ALL KNOW!
You, as ALL GENERALS AND ADMIRALS WILL ALL rot in hell, nor will you be be known/remembered as “Honorable” once you leave this earth for your Bribed high treason actions against your oath to protect this nation. Do not think YOU NOR A SINGLE GENERAL NOR ADMIRAL are HONORABLE IN ANY WAY as those 10+ million US Soldiers WHO DIED, and who wore the uniform honorably! You ALL knowingly and willfully failed to physically give “YOUR ALL” (not even losing a grade rank yet) to “Protect” our nation. You will be remembered as a HIGH TREASONOUS SCUMBAG WHO SOLD YOUR HEART AND SOUL for your rank, and you clearly wiped your behind with the US Flag, the US Constitution, and your Oath of Honor to keep our nation free from “Foreign or Domestic Enemies”. What the hell did you do while in uniform to “Protect” our nation. Right – NOT A DAM THING! Enjoy you eternity in Hell since you sold your heart and soul to Satan, for your power and money. We all know your actions were cowardous! I can’t wait for all of you Generals and Admirals once you leave this earth because each of you will be facing 10+ million military members WHO DIED FOR OUR NATION; and YOU EACH SOLD THEM OUT FOR YOUR POWER! You will not be honorable, nor will be part of those who gave their life, yet not one of you could even lift a finger to lose 1 rank by saying no, and doing all you could to stop the crimes you seen and participated in! Lowlife Dishonorable Cowardly Scumbag Generals and Admirals – ALL OF YOU!
I love how this Lowlife Scumbag aftr-birth is now warning people of this, yet this and all other Generals, Admirals and Colonels did what while they were in the US miltary to help “protect” my and your children? NOT A F-ing thing! And We The People are supppose to think it is someone else, while it is YOU ALL MR GENERAL, WHO CREATED IT BY NOT BEING A “MAN” and Attempt to STAND UP to a single criminal action going on inside the US Gov, and Military. You all did NOTHING!
Since you all are SPINELESS DUSCHBAGS that all need to be LOCKED UP FOR LIFE for your criminal actions, you CRY and tell the people this? WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU? Wasn’t THAT YOUR JOB TO STOP THIS? It sure wasn’t We The People, but YOU, who we paid to do your dam job. Instead, you SUPPORTED Criminal Illegal Orders as they passed over you desk, and give your troops Illegal Orders right? Don’t play us like fools you lowlife scumbag! If I’d see any of you, I’d put my boot so far up your azzz, it would pop your eyes out you dishonorable scumbag! So make sure you just sit and type, and for the sake of the American FLAG, DON’T LIFT A F-rkin FINGER OR GET OFF YOU azz and step outside and do anything. Stay in your dam underground bunker for the space you were promised, and run to the bank the 1st of each month to cash your BRIBED MONEY! Surely, that is more important then you don’t your F-ing Oath and Promise to defend our nation with YOUR LIFE! YOU SPINELESS LOWLIFE SCUMBAG COWARD! Hope your children are the first victims in the FEMA camps and your blood line ends. You are a disgrace of the lowest form..
