Dear BB, Although ur nick sounds like an intellegent person, i think ur missing the point. Even in US, ur rights are not guaranteed. Have u heard of drafts in US. If the US government needs its people to go fight for them no citizens can say no. They will be forced to fight as well. They will get u out of ur house train u and dump in the war. I am not trying to support the agenda of mandatory 5 years millatary training. But just to enlighten u a lil, many countries use this practice of millatary training for their population. I personally dont like it. Because i am totally against army of any kind and any purpose. But most nations do it because youths of the nation can be mobilized when needed. No need to get arooung and train them when needed. It is not just only training, most countries educate their young ppl during this process as well, It can be seen as staying physically fit, learning skills and dicipline that could be helpful for ur real life and making urself ready for the nation if needed. And if the nation takes the burdon of educating the young ones with the millatary training. Most nation and its ppl support that. I am only responding to ur " in american talks ma" where are my rights" 5 years of millatary rights are no worse or better off than american rights. The only difference betn prachanda's idea and american idea is Prachanda says we will train u now and US says we will train u when we need u. Just stay ready for us.
