So young men (of all colors) are leaning towards the #fascist orange buffoon: they don't appreciate service to their country; they don't understand honor and loyalty; they missed basic civics; they are hoodwinked by #populist hate; they don't believe in #Democracy or #TheConstitution... so bring back #NationalService: give these miscreants a purpose

#Trump has signaled that #ChrisMiller, if there is a 2nd term, might reprise his role as #DefSec, a powerful post w/sway over the #Pentagon. Though Trump has not publicly endorsed the #HeritageFoundation doc, he did embrace many of their proposals at the outset of his 1st term.
In an interview, Miller said a #NationalService requirement would be “strongly considered.” He described it as a “rite of passage,” that would create a sense of “shared sacrifice”…

The irony won't be lost on most people of a Tory PM calling for national service while he himself is unable to attend a commemoration with other world leaders.
Scotland and Wales can do better.

Readers blast Rishi Sunak’s plans for national service as ‘ill-conceived, headline-grabbing’ and ‘half-baked’ | The Independent

Here I knowingly trigger Godwin's law, but honestly #Sunak saying "service gives you purpose" conjures up a world where the next conservative slogan is about to be "work sets you free".
There are so many better angles to frame #nationalservice, something I'm not inherently opposed, but his work I just feel its a little too right-wing dystopia for my tastes.
He really does need a new campaign manager. I look forward to tomorrow's daily mash. I might have made a mockup for #theonion

That's... interesting as the shower in the UK government are proposing reintroducing compulsory service, after 40 years of slashing and slashing nutrition programmes.
Guess that's just reality having a left wing bias eh?

CW: UK Election
It's clear that Sunak's electoral strategy is to go all out for courting the elderly, and just take it for granted that young people won't vote.
Next week I'm expecting some announcements on policies that will inflate house prices and benefit home owners at the expense of renters.
Young people: show him he's wrong, and register to vote.

It seems clear that the Tories’ #NationalService proposal is a dead cat ‘culture war’ issue, and blatant pitch to #RefUK voters, designed to distract from their appalling record on the economy, health and public services. #ToryBritain

CW: re: #ukpol #nationalService
Literally no one under the age of 21 could deliberately vote for Rishi's national service for 18 to 21 year olds plan, surely?
Lets see, do I really want every 3rd weekend ruined while I'm trying to do my degree or work a gig job to make ends meet?
If they really want the plan to work they should have said 16 to 18 year olds coz they can't vote anyway.
Or raise the voting age to 21!
Their whole campaign is going to be alienating one scapegoat after another until everyone other than the sputtering gammon and the billionaires enraging them swear off voting Conservative forever.

Dear candidates
I have become concerned that many members of a modern generation are becoming radicalized.
There are forces trying to divide our society in this increasingly uncertain world. Many of them have not had the opportunity to experience things outside their own blinded culturally impoverished tiny small minded horizons.
They need an opportunity that many of them have never had the chance at before.
Would you consider a policy to send this generation into national service?
It could just be one weekend a month, they could both give the nation a valuable service in return for their continued citizenship, and have experiences that would broaden their horizons and offer life changing opportunities to learn real world skills, and contribute to their community and our country.
Think of the renewed sense of national pride these people would feel knowing they belong to a country that can forcibly take time from their limited lives, and that they owe that country for it allowing them to live.
Naysayers may neigh that enforced service is a time-share enslavement of a whole generation but I say that these people are in danger of being radicalized and only putting them into enforced servitude for their country can possibly stop them hating it so much they destroy it's institutions in their incoherent rage.
So candidates, what do you say: Will you support a compulsory national service for all Baby Boomers, doing a few hours a week working at a gay-bar, or helping out at a gender dysphoria clinic, just something to broaden their narrow cynical view and prevent them being radicalized by extremists like the Conservative party spreading hate propaganda.
I'm not saying anyone would go to jail for refusing of course, they could just be transported to a safe third country. Or one that we define as safe at least.
Who will support an inquiry into the possibility of such a plan, at least just to get some headlines before the inquiry finds it's infeasible, unethical, appalling and legally indefensible.

The more i read about #Sunaks National Service pledge, the more batshit insane and downright discriminatory it sounds.
18 year olds have 2 choices, one of which (Military training) is limited to 30,000 places.
No one is compelled to do Military training - which is hardly surprising if there is a cap on numbers.
BUT, that means every 18 year-old is effectively compelled to take option 2:
1/2
