The case for reinstating the military draft in the USA

Required Military Service in the United States

This opinion is about Required Military Service that's been proposed by the Obama administration. The proposed military training program (said to be about three months in length) would be forced upon the average American citizen. If, for example, you're a student that's completed high school, or someone that's in a College program, this training program could be completed during the summer. This program will be a somewhat “watered down” version in comparison to what the United States Armed Forces recruit must go through in regular training, but will still be a very demanding program for the average citizen.

The idea that has been put forth is really about having a Civilian armed force that will be funded by the Obama administration, so that the average citizen will be trained to protect our borders, and uphold American values and the American way.

The plan for the average American citizen will also prepare them to fight the "forces of evil" and will establish a civilian counterpart to the armed forces.

The military elite have always wanted to establish a mandatory civil defense training program for the average citizen between the ages of 18 and 25, and would be forcibly in-scripted on the population. If necessary, this could include anyone beyond the age of 25.

A Required Military Draft would become a program that the average person would have to complete in order to prove their allegiance to the United States of America. I live in Canada, and I can see the day that this idea will be put forward in order to protect our borders and keep our country safe. This will be a precursor to the simple fact that our friend, and ally, the United States of America, will eventually need more ongoing support from their Northern neighbor in the near future. Fresh water and natural resources are two primary examples. Canada, the U.S. and Mexico will eventually become one nation. If you can’t see this coming, well, you better wake up. I'll not discuss this inevitable arrangement in this post.  

Back to the case of  reinstating the military draft in the USA. The in-scripted military training will become a National Civilian Security Force that will be just as well armed, and just as well funded as the armed forces. The National Civilian Security Force will become an Army that's outside of the regular armed forces, and will take direct orders from President Obama's administration.
