If we cld create a conscription where most jobs were non-military-related I'd consider it. I don't like the idea of forcing anyone to fight

Or commit acts of violence. But then again, I'm mostly an isolationist militarily.

With you on demilitarizing. I just wonder if uni-conscription might push us in that direction as suddenly more people have skin in the game

If there's a constant abt elites n the US, it's that they always find a loophole. I'm wary of anythg lke conscription claiming 2b"universal"
