Conscription = Communism by William Norman Grigg

William Norman Grigg writes, regarding the draft:

The fundamental premise of the draft is that people exist to serve and protect the State, and can be used as seen fit by those who control it...

The general notion was that Conscription was a feature that belonged exclusively to despotic Governments...

the draft is based on the assumption that the State has a right "to every dollar and every right arm in the country for its protection"...

Those of us who love liberty and peace should also understand war: It is the State reduced to its essential functions – destruction, regimentation, pitiless violence. Similarly, we must understand that conscription indisputably rests on the assumption that each individual is the State’s property, to be sacrificed when those controlling the State deem it necessary for their protection...

Thousands of Americans, both young and not-so-young, have been left dead, limbless, sightless, or mindless because of the actions of soft-handed, soft-bellied servants of the State. That same ruling elite is quietly preparing to re-instate the draft, now that the pool of willing enlistees is drying up...
