We need this kind of thinking in the US!
« on: October 22, 2015, 12:18:06 PM »
"One advantage that Israel has is that there are quite a few ex-members of military units with operational combat experience," Barkat told his citizens. "Possessing weapons increases the confidence of residents, who know that in addition to police, there are many people who are not afraid to intervene. If we look at the statistics in Jerusalem and elsewhere, we see that aside from the police, civilians carrying weapons have foiled terror attacks. They will increase the likelihood of fast intervention."

Doesn't Israel require mandatory military service for all males? That's not something I want here -- registering for the draft is bad enough.

Q, Isreal requires mandatory military service. Gender is not an issue. If you are an Isrealli citizen you get to do service in the military.

Nah, I was thinking more in the line of more people embracing the idea of their own self defense.  Learning Krav Maga or some other self defense tactics, getting and learning how to use a handgun or AR. Asserting their 2nd Amendment rights instead of trying to take ours away!

Too bad you feel that way, the service helped a lot of kids back when we had the real draft.
(Agreed, it killed a few too.)

People shouldn't be forced into doing things -- let alone directly serving the war machine.

I used to think the draft was OK in a declared war (like we haven't had here since 1945).

Now I think it should be volunteer, and the constitutional prohibitions on slavery apply.

If a country's citizens won't willingly fight to save their country, then their country doesn't deserve to survive.
