    And the premise of the movie being that they were running out of wars to fight so they setup a false flag attack that set off the bug wars to keep the military in control. I love the idea of a government work corp but not the idea of it being mandatory. Especially for representation/voting.

      The movie and the book are two completely different things. Apparently the director didn’t even read the entire book and just took a few scenes.

      Hunter Thompson wrote one essay where he praised the draft because it forced all kinds of people to meet each other and work together. In the novel “Zombie Jamboree” a draftee says that the draft is a good idea because draftees aren’t as likely to commit war crimes as lifers.

      I don’t know if government service should be mandatory, but I think that the country would be a lot better if more of these trust fund babies knew what it was like to put in a 40 hour week.
