826. I'm skeptical of what you say

And yes, you can pull the "but I live there" card, but this is the internet, and anyone can claim anything. Present some sources and evidence on this. I find it odd that a country that allegedly is phasing out conscription would expand it to another part of the population. But even if this were true, it's kind of irrelevant to the point you're responding to. But by all means, prove me wrong.

"As for my comment about privileged non-minorities, pretty much only white middle class Americans have the attitude that a mandatory service for all teenagers will somehow 'straighten' out today's youth."

This of course is nonsense as the bill in question I brought up is being pushed by a black congressman in New York, and many of the links I gave don't come from "white middle class Americans". Furthermore others agreeing with me here aren't white middle class Americans, neither am I. So this point doesn't stand. White middle class privileged kids and their families would hate this the most.
