The Draft

Started by finti8 pages

Following Finti's logic, the goverment has never attempted to use the draft to defend the individual's right, so the draft is unambiguously a form of slavery
not so in the case of Norway

What was Quisling's policy towards it?

He actually belived in a strong Norwegian military, After all he was a flaming nationalist

hey we never got conquered entirely in WWI

they didnt bother with rest 😱

Anyhow, whatever extenuation is used, the draft is simply a form of slavery. Yes, the excuse of defending the country might occasionally be used (it couldn't be for wars like Vietnam or Iraq) but it would still be much more advantageous for the individual to save their own neck; therefore it is just as much a forfeiture of any kind of status under those circumstances as in a manufactured war. A regime that will demand the very existence of an individual is openly authoritarian.

For the record, I would not go to fight in a war for £10 billion pounds, because the odds against getting through it without being killed or maimed are very long indeed...

well finti if you would know your WWI history you would know that a lot of ppl, belgians, french, english and germans died at the trenches in the north west part of belgium
