Yeah, Trump did call military personnel "suckers" and "losers"

So your son got the subsidized amount for his income. Good for him.

No but they were getting them by 1962, which is why so many people tried to get various draft deferments.

That's not what you were talking about though. Even at the height of the Vietnam war draft we werent inducting even 10% of those eligible. I dont know if you understand what mandatory service means but that would be 100% of those eligible, a huge increase in the size and scope of the military. We would need more people than who are currently serving just in the command structure of something that large.

When I was drafted into the Army in 1962, they had deferments. My time was supposed to be 2 years active and 4 years reserves. I wrote my congressman who got the reserves cancelled for me though the total discharge did not show up until 6 years passed from date of entry.

Wait, Couchpotato claimed no one was being drafted before Vietnam. That can't be Right because he knows everything.

I was incorrect. Unlike you I can admit when I’m wrong. Like you are about mandatory military service.

Um, okay.

I didn't say I wanted mandatory military service; I said I supported national service.

 

[Couchpotato]

Um, okay.

I didn't say I wanted mandatory military service; I said I supported national service.

Ok so articulate the difference.

 

[Robert W]

Um, okay.

Our founders fought so this nation was free of authoritarians. It even passed the Bill of Rights to stave off Government it had created. National Service would be mandatory as you seek it. We must support freedom.

What exactly did you mean by this?

We haven't had a draft since 1974. I wouldn't mind seeing a national service requirement for all 18-year-olds, as long as they get a free ride to a public college once they complete their service.
