      or they force you to serve in the military first to earn a passport. kind of like earning your citizenship in starship troopers.

        The way they talk about how military service should be required for basic privileges is terrifying as a disabled person. No I didn’t join the military to pay for my education, I was never going to be allowed in even if I wanted to

          People in the military are less likely to disobey corrupt orders as long as they come from the correct chain of command.

          Power comes from a politically consolidated military. The larger the military the greater the reigns of power become.

          That’d be one incentive for the people in power to force citizens into the military.

      I mean, they basically already have… It cost $165/person for a passport that can go anywhere but Canada and Mexico. Over $600 for a family before you can even go anywhere. For probably 90% of families, that sort of disposable income is a dream when most people can’t afford a $500 emergency expense.
