really, how many times you have been in combat,, we need to end all wars, not send our youth off to combat multiple times, destroys a lot of lives forever, just so your stocks and bonds make more money for you, I like the concept of not escorting men home from combat in a box,, bless your lil old heart,,
I am not sure conscription is the correct term for it - but what I think is that everyone does a year or two between the ages of 18 to 25 so they can choose if they leave school and go into service or wait until after uni to go into the service. This way they have the option to stay in if they like it or leave and attend to other work skills. Meantime, hopefully they will learn to work not just for themselves but for the greater good. Too many workers are just in their job for the pay packet without considering that they are supposed to be providing a service to a customer/client.
No, best military is the mum and dad teacher them right to wrong and government don't but in. This is real a man said no to child and child said to father by law I can do as I want eve if you don't want me. The child go wrong ways in life. Let mum and dad be the boss child not government
No. Military service should remain voluntary, otherwise we will have an internal war. Our leaders ie PMs should be making wiser decisions about who they hob nob with an also stop their "snarly" remarks and be swift of thought and wise of voice.
no way why should our children be conscripted, these high arkies should keep their noses out of other lands wars, if they want to fight why don't they go themselves
YES! It will give everyone a sense of responsibility and accountability, and remove the false sense of entitlement everyone (especially younger generations) have. Get rid of the blue haired "I think I'm another gender) b.s. too while we're at it. Almost every other country has it, no reason the US shouldn't, either.
Yes, everyone should be conscripted but not just for armed service, there's the fire service, ambulance, hospitals as well as other community-based occupations. It would give young people a taste of discipline, regulations and responsibility.
No way. It would make the money system collapse even faster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So the answer should be that every ones NEO robots after purchase should serve 18 months in the military.
LOL where could you possibly have gotten that from? There's no way mandatory 18 months like SK has collapses their economy. It wouldn't hurt ours either. There is 0 economic basis for that idea.
I enjoyed being conscripted but nowadays I would conscientiously object because I don't think there's any Australia worth fighting for. The current political incumbents are wrecking everything Australia used to stand for and I feel sorry for those who gave their lives in previous wars.
I would rather be an Assassin, at least I pick who I kill not a corrupt government who decides one day to kill a country's citizens then there your allies the next!!!
I lived through the era of the Vietnam War and conscription here in Australia. Our boys came back and were ostracized by our citizens and even WW2 veterans. It was a disgrace as these kids had no choice and they fought bravely.However, the youth of today are out of hand. They have no guidance other than from their peers or criminals using them. Turn 18 and into the army for 1-2 years but they would have to apply for overseas duty not just be sent unless we are in a time of war and protecting our country.The young ones under 18 can be put into the army but boot camp style. Teach them mateship, teamwork, respect etc. but if caught in a criminal act then go to jail. I am not sure if it will be accepted by the populace but I think everyone agrees we are all sick and tired of the thugs bashing, robbing, stabbing, stealing cars and killing people with their reckless driving and their attitudes. The Police arrest them and the do goodie courts let them out and they reoffend basically within a day or two.So yes
I agree with Janet, Military Service teaches you how to abide by Rules, how to work as a team and certainly gives you an aim in life while earning money and respecting others.
Damned good idea. straight out of school and into military service for at least two years. They may even opt to make it a career and make something of themselves, instead of going down the wrong track. It would be good guidance for them as well.
1 Would like to see some sort of service for these young criminals who keep offending. Case to day - let out on bail, goes straight away and assaults a shop owner. Hello have you not learnt anything, got a brain??? Every day someone is assaulted or robbed, so wrong!!
Yes for males and females, after high school and prior to undertaking tertiary ...could help build national pride especially for migrants ..... but have the non military options
A LOT OF MIGRANTS COME TO THIS FREE COUNTRY GET UNEMPLOYMENT PAYMENTS HOWEVER IF WE ARE ATTACHED THESE PEOPLE WOULD NOT FIGHT FOR AUSTRALIA. I SAY SEND THEM BACK WHERE THEY CAME FROM.
No, that theory is not about you being shot, its about defending ourselves if lunatic power hungry invaders attack, we can defend you, even though you don't want to be saved from another lunatic puting you into slavery. You might be ok with another Hitler, but most of us prefer democracy.
If we sent the youth we may as well send all others incarcerated,all ages. Not heinous crimes. But if they may be have the choice of incarceration or service( minimum 5years or the term of their conviction if longer). Then it would be up to the discretion of the defence force and government to determine whether they can be suitably rehabilitated during service.
All young people would benefit from 6 months of basic training to give them a sense of community and pride for their country, especially new young immigrants. Once trained they could be used of emergencies of floods or to assist in picking fruit.
3 points for, No. Our young men have to register at age 18, but we remain neutral, so if others want to volunteer, so be it, but as for our young men, they prefer to use their time announcing the coming of Jehovah Gods Kingdom to the earth, found in the Bible at Matthew 6:10, which is part of the "Lords Prayer"! ;-D
The Swiss BION have a standing armed forces which every single man, woman and child must spend 6 years in service even though as a neutral country, they never need any armed forces.
Can we just hope n pray we see the day when we no longer have the need for military! Yeah, its an unrealistic dream, there will always be conflict, but will we ever see the day that it's restricted to a petty push n shove at recess or lunch time at school? Some conflict can be beneficial, it can help us learn and grow. I just wonder why there is still conflicts between countries, between races and borders, over religion and cultures, due to politics and because of and for money. Have we not learned from the past? Can't we see the difference between constructive conflict and senseless war?? Yes its probable there will always be military, but I don't believe people should be made to join or forced to do something they dont want to. Most conflict is unnecessary and ends badly for all parties involved! When will we learn?
It's not an unrealistic dream, Simon! It's actually prophesied in the Bible, and people pray for God's Kingdom to come when they pray the "Lord's Prayer" found at Matthew 6:9-13! Also read Psalm chapter 37 to learn what's ahead in the near future! ;-D
Hi, thanks for that. I have been reading alot of prophecy in Isiah too regarding Israel and all the conflict going on there. Father, Son and Holy spirit is the one thing I have in my life that gives me a foundation of hope in this scary world we live in. I trust in Him always and forever pray for His Grace and mercy. Bless u.
Humans fight Humans. It's part of the Eco system. Unfortunately it has become so revoulting due to pepulation technology and money. So if Money didn't exist like it is for the past 110 years, and a one world government existed like some elite have being trying to achieve my starting WW1. It wouldn't end war. Humans fight anyway. The world would still be a much better place with out FIAT money.
The world government I'm speaking of is Jehovah God's Kingdom that will rule over the whole earth. And it will never be replaced, and only the righteous will live on the earth turned into the paradise it was meant to be. Psalm chapter 37.;-D
yeah man, your right, I got most of that. Even in the animal kingdom ay, massive fights go on all the time mostly over territory or for leadership. Exactly the same as a humans motive! I guess to a point one has to accept it as a natural instinct or behaviour, the main difference though is what u said regarding technology, propulsion and development etc. Do u trust the current world leaders enough (Putin, Kim Jon Un, Trump n China) to apply restraint if it comes down to choosing to use or not to use Nuclear weapon capabilities. Cos u and I know if just one Neuk is fired from whatever country what that will mean for planet and for the future of humankind. Mass extinction event and too bad for those who aren't rolling in cash and power, no fortified bunker for us to shelter in. We get left outside in the zone like dogs to wither away slowly from radiation fallout, that is if we weren't reduced to ash at the blink of an eye caught in an impact zone. Do these rich, powerful, egotistical politicians care enough about the rest of humanity to exercise restraint? I dont know about you mate but my logic points to quite a disappointing answer.
Isaiah 2:4 reads, "And he will certainly render judgement among the nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore." Daniel 2:44 reads, "And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite." ;-D

Depend if conscription is needed for military services. I know in Europe, military is mandatory for men. It is not that they need to be in service, but need training done so that if the country is in danger, you will be called to fight for your country. Europe is a small country, so they make military services a mandatory. While Canada is a big country and they don't make it mandator for men to be on military, I guess??
Yes however anyone that is a Police Officer, Paramedic, Fire & Rescue, paid member of the State Emergency Service or Rural Fire Service, Gaol Officer, or paid member of another Emergency Service should be exempt.
It wouldn't solve it because nearly every one would be trying to be a police officer or Ambulance worker to get out of the military, and then we'd be a Police state or something in the blink of an eye.
Before covid hit i would of said, prob not, but these past 5 years have really changed the world.
We do not live in a too safe a world nowdays.
China and russia are a threat to world peace.
And the middle east is no better.
In times of an emergency, it would be wrong of nearly everyone who was capable to help out, or we would risk being destroyed as a country.
Does not make sense not to.
I still remember when they started conscription in Australia for the Vietnam War. Very wrong back then and should not happen again. There was a saying here then - All the way with LBJ.
The USA was fighting two wars at the same time under LBJ. The war in Vietnam (thru conscription) and the War on Poverty (thru a series of domestic programs). The heart-breaking-part is the USA lost both 'wars' and millions of lives were destroy in the process (beyond repair at that point in time)!
Of course...as the US, via Washington, DC...a CITY STATE...NOT part of the US at all...is the global elites "Military branch" in world control. The City of London INSIDE of London is the "Finance branch", this is why the pound is worth the most. And The Vatican is the "Religion branch" in a 3rd city state. ALL running MARITIME/ADMIRALTY law on the foolish public who THINKS they care about them. They care about their CORPORATE INTERESTS and banking enslavement. End of story. You don't comply? THEY CREATE A WAR.
