The Selective Service (Draft)

The following was written in November 2013 as a response to the questionnaire for federal candidates seeking an endorsement from the Liberty Caucus of the Republican Conference (i.e., the Republican Party).

Here is the link to the original questionnaire:

This is my answer to Question #9.

9. A

   (I favor national service which is strictly voluntary; not national service which is compulsory for military needs, nor required for community benefit, nor discriminatory towards non-heterosexuals)

   To have military service which is (B) compulsory for military needs and/or (C) required for community benefit is to undermine the original intent of the 2^nd Amendment, which was to protect the right of conscientious objection (as the right to bear arms whether serving in an organized or unorganized militia).

   A war or military intervention which our leaders in the national government have to sell to the American people through manufacturing false threats and unsubstantiated rumors asking foreign leaders to prove a negative, and which cannot get enough popular support in Congress or enough military volunteers, is not a war which we should commit to fighting without re-evaluating our objectives, and it is not a war which we should spend a great amount of our resources fighting due to the risk of war profiteering through mercenary and infrastructure contracting.

   I do not favor (D) limiting national service to male heterosexuals because I support the right of all Americans – homosexuals included – to be free from discrimination in the public sector, which includes the military and all government agencies.

Military Intervention

The following was written in November 2013 as a response to the questionnaire for federal candidates seeking an endorsement from the Liberty Caucus of the Republican Conference (i.e., the Republican Party).

Here is the link to the original questionnaire:

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CC4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwi.rlc.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2010%2F05%2FFederal-Candidate-Questionnaire.doc&ei=u3B8UqXbBqPiiwL2ioCoDg&usg=AFQjCNHAzM58Dr-APGVchRKzOkVV0TKRyw&sig2=qStOgZ0RAgXVAbnHi2kFtw

This is my answer to Question #8.

8. B and C, and A under certain conditions

   (U.S. military intervention in other nations is justified when a clear and imminent threat is evident, after Congress declares war, and when our legitimate national interests are at stake, not when our national interests are related to the oil markets, and not before there is any risk of injury to U.S. citizens.

   Intervention is also justified when the threat is imminent, the war is declared by Congress, and our help is specifically requested by the international community)

   A U.S. military intervention in other nations is justified (B) when a clear and imminent threat is evident and (C) after Congress declares war. Intervention would not be justified (D) before there is any risk of injury to U.S. citizens, because there would not be (B) evidence of a clear and imminent threat.

   To support U.S. military intervention in other nations (A) whenever a national interest is at stake is to risk supporting the use of military force to protect American business interests and properties in other countries.

   It is to risk the lives and livelihoods of American soldiers, American civilians, and civilians in foreign nations alike, by entangling the United States in wars for oil, political and military power, gains from war profiteering, and control of banking and currency in Middle Eastern nations and other countries around the world.

   The U.S. should only intervene in other nations militarily when (A) its national interests are at stake (but only when those interests favor lives over corruptible business influence) or when specifically asked by the international community, (B) when a clear and imminent threat is evident (but not (D) before there is any risk of injury to U.S. citizens), and (C) after Congress declares war.
