This is sad.
But saddly true
I still feel sorry for all the U.S vets out there.
I joined the Army after doing work on "The Rise of Facism in Europe and Warning signs of it's return"
The U.S army?
Or a different one
308k
Yep. Headquarters Monkey for the US Army
Nice
I'm getting conscripted next year
IDF?
Won't be a combatant though
Yeah
On the modern battle field, everyone is a combatant in area of operations
hmm
Conscription is a good idea tbh
Brings people together.
it has ups and downs
I think it definitely makes sense for Israel
basically one big military target
@Khanclansith I'll probably end up being a cook or a driver
Since i rejected to go to the cyber units
And my medical profile is low.
@xorgy the idea that everyone has a shared experience really helps get people closer to each other
I met a cook with five CABs after three rotations into the sandbox
CABs?
Combat Action Badge, CAB awarded for non-infantry personel participating in direct combat action
Conscription is an awful idea
Maybe if you're in some Euro army that never fights
It worked great in America.
Oh
But if you actually engage in combat operations it's retarded to enslave people to fight and expect them to do a decent job of it.
Let's ship everyone off to another bullshit war.
exactly
Oopsy, no weapons of mass destruction.
Oopsy, Vietnam was a complete slaughter fest.
In the case of the IDF they all serve on the homefront and protecting their home towns
The psychology behind it its actually compelking
people dont fight cause they want
people fight cause they dont want to die
