France is bringing back compulsory military service for young people

[Famous Mortimer]

Good policy. France is ethnically divided. A civil war in the next 50 years is more likely than not. This is a last ditch attempt to create a sense of national unity by subjecting everyone to mass indoctrination by the last vestige of conservative authority in the country (the military). I hope it works. If it fails, at least the indigenous population of France will have gained some needed military skills, otherwise they would be hopeless against France's non-indigenous population.

Ineffective, immoral and useless policy. What makes an effective military these days is not size. Tactics, morale and weaponry are much more important. If France wants an effective military, it should focus on these things. Besides, France doesn't really face any real military threats.

As I already said, they are doing this for social reasons, not military reasons.

This is absurd. Its a violation of fundemental human rights and it's not draconian way of interrupting young people's plans and ambitions. The state not exist to provide social cohesion and solidarity. It exists to provide services in exchange for tax dollars. Besides, there's nothing wrong with the atomization and globalization of society.

Oh, I get it. This is a parody account.

You had me until "atomization is good". Laying it on a little too hard there.
