      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.
