I didn't suggest we dispense with the military. I simply stated that conscription (forced servitude) is slavery, and hence immoral.

A free nation must be defended voluntarily, in order to be a free nation.

Horsehockey. So you would support a constitutional amendment to do away with the militia?

view it as forced servitude if you would like...i prefer to hold the view that AMERICA offers so much to its citizens that citizenship carries with it a 2 -3 year obligation to serve and protect that wich we all enjoy.
