And yes, we plan for a swiss-style milita system to support the standing military.

You know the military is high tech these days, requiring fewer folks but with higher skill sets don't you?

Hmm.... what does that remind me of?







Oh, Falconist! I'm so sorry. It's not like they could be the same word in different languages, right? Haha! Ha. Uh...

Our military can defeat most conventional forces with fewer but highly trained troops with advanced technology. However, to hold the ground, you still need lots and lots of infantry. Not to mention if we get into a war with China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Iran, North Korea or fight a two-front war, our small high-tech military would be put to the test.

Our small high-tech force vanquished the Iraqi army in a matter of weeks. However, we lacked the infantry to occupy the country. Had we occupied Iraq with 500,000 troops, there may have been no insurgency. Afghanistan would probably have required a million.

If we get in a war with Russia, 10 million cannon fodder conscripts isn't going to change anything.  Also, no way Pakistan and India fight on the same side against the US (or India and the PRC for that matter).

I'm one of the "hawkier" people around here, but maybe, just maybe, we shouldn't be in the occupation business?  There is nothing wrong, IMHO, with blowing a nation's military up and leaving a note that says something along the lines of "Remember that thing you did that made us come here and blow your sh**t up?  Yeah, don't do that again.  If you want help fixing your sh**t, give us a call, if not, we'll see you at the next UN meeting.  Good luck.".

I cordially invite you to check out the only Communitarian party in the US today, the Falconist Party. Our party combines the ideas of the right and left to take America and the world neither right, nor left, but up. Look us up on the web.

And twirling towards freedom?

This sounds like a caricature of what a "Simfan-party" would be.

Our system of UMT and Mandatory National Service is a hybrid of multiple systems such as Switzerland, Singapore and especially Israel.

You don't need to sacrifice quality or technological edge when adopting a conscript force. Germany and Israel fielded formidable high tech forces and both utilize conscription. While the All Volunteer Force won the American Revolution, Mexican War, Spanish-American War and Gulf War, it was armies that utilized conscription that won the Civil War, WW1, and WW2. Vietnam was a war where volunteers outnumbered conscripts because the draft had more holes than Swiss Cheese.

Sometimes, we do have to get into the occupation business otherwise you lose the peace. I wonder if we should be in the business of occupying, rebuilding and leaving because we rarely have anything to show for it. Maybe we need to at least start making these countries protectorates of the US.

The Swiss thing is more about a men's camping trip periodically, and a big waste of time and money. They trek over the hills and dales, stop at a pub for a beer when not being watched, and have a grand old time. Officers get routed into banking jobs as their reward. Yes, I read a long article about it all by that most wonderful writer, John McPhee. Interestingly, the German speakers enjoy playing the game considerably more than the French speakers do. Maybe the French are more well rounded and have other hobbies. Maybe they are more oriented to indoor sports rather than outdoor ones.

And for the Israeli system? I think an Israeli mechanized division can give an American mechanized division for a run for its money.

Israel needs to rapidly expand its army given the hood its in, when trouble breaks out, and in a hurry. The place is too small to have that many folks in the military full time, and still be economically viable. The US is not in that position. One size does not fit all.

You do know that the US is broke right?  The US just does not have the economic muscle anymore to effect a muscular Pax Americana for the globe - nor the will, even if that were wise, and heck, the US was not even able to "pacify" Afghanistan after a 10 year run. How do you think we would do trying to pacify Pakistan for example?

We have been talking about changing our electoral color. We wanted Purple, but that is unofficially the electoral color of the Constitution Party, Yellow/Gold is the electoral color of the Libertarian Party (unofficially). We looked at White, Silver, Black, Orange. In a recent poll, alot of people came out to favor "bronze". So we may repaint the red and blue sates "bronze". You may see "bronze states" in the future XD

We have better times ahead. We have units in California, Washington, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, Arizona, Georgia, Texas, and Indiana. We are also working on establishing overseas units of our party as well.

tbh your ideology reads like a bizarre cross between the original progressive movement, Bush era neocon fantasies (circa ~2002-2004) and falangism. how old are you dude.
