I oppose military conscription. Communists always favour conscription to build class conciousness & spread mil training among the people. The nationalists, vile democrats, want to homogenise with conscription. I favour an all-volunteer force. Service guarantees citizenship

The demands to re-introduce conscription to “build the nation” or “build good citizens” are anachronistic. It is no surprise that the unimaginative Macron, harking back to the liberal nationalism of the past is doing this. Modern warfare does not need the levee en masse.

Our wars now require small, elite units of eccentrics and misfits. The SAS is the model. They will be augmented by nerds and people with excellent reflexes who will be joystick jockeys for drones and gizmos. Modern war needs freaks, hackers, and intelligent gym goers.

It doesn’t need human chum to be churned through a 19th/20th century killing machine. Just say “no” to mass conscription. All it will do is, in the case of France, train thousands of young potential Jihadis in the art of war and subvert the military. And it will be boring.
