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
In a similar manner that ebola brings people together in isolation wards, yes.
@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
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
Have you ever fought in a war?
Still you must be a shitty being to send someone to a place they dont want to go and force them to fight for their life
@Undead Mockingbird Plenty of Iraqi Freedom vets are being treated for exposure to chemical weapons
There is a base 15 min walk from my house
Lul
I guess thats why most people only shoot at the air during war
oh my fuck
Even the most justified wars ended up being complete nonsense.
I keep hearing about the sinking of the Lusitania.
WW1 was the most pointless one tho
