If it comes to the worst case scenario ... I will donate money to their uniform fund.

It would then be like looking for blue helmets

LOL. If that were the private military force, I think we would not have a great deal to worry about.

So I gather you all are against mandatory service in either a military or civil service organization?

I can't speak for everyone, but I am.

A man has the right to decide what to do with his own life, and forcing him into a lifestyle he doesn't want or is not comfortable with breeds contempt and disdain.

Best to let people do as they see fit, providing it doesn't hurt others.

I would agree with this. You can offer incentives to serve in a free market like ours and should the choice be made to go with it, fine for all. I do not agree with penalizing those that choose not to "volunteer".

I pretty much agree with you, but I also feel that if your willing to accept and enjoy the freedoms and opportunities that this country affords you, you could at least support it and build on it with your service.
There was a time in this country where this would have been a moot point.
