What is the libertarian position on military conscription?
History shows that free people can be counted on to defend their homes and their country. But the conscription is slavery, and slaves make lousy defenders of freedom. I like knowing I’m being protected by people who are in the military because they want to be there, not because they were forced against their will to be there. A military focused on defending Canada instead of peacekeeping around the globe would reduce manpower needs and further eliminate any reason to have a draft or draft registration. Let’s let free people defend freedom.
