Do conservatives realize that the US military is completely socialist?

The government has a almost complete monopoly on military force. They ***** and moan about "socialism" when the government when the government involves itself more in the healthcare industry (which I think is wrong btw) but they support our the socialist military of our government to the last iota of their being. The government shouldn't control all of any good or service (military protection), nor should it force everyone to pay for it - that is socialism.Do conservatives realize that the US military is completely socialist?Bro are you checking these answers? Some of these answers are just...LOL. You're being accused of being a Socialist when you're more of a Free Market advocate than conservatives are.



And the Constitution...lol. Just because the Constitution promotes a Socialized military doesn't mean the military is anti-Socialized. Good grief.



But I like Josey Wales' comment, about Totalitarian.Do conservatives realize that the US military is completely socialist?
This is a tactic by socialist to try and make people believe that we have socialism, so ignorant people will think Socialism is okay for everything in America.



The Constitution is the instructions of the people for what the federal government is supposed to do. It doesn't give the government the power to own the means of production, capital and the land to produce everything. The Constitution does not give the power to government to own and operate the production and manufacture of all of the supplies that the military use. But has the responsibility to protect the people from of enemies that would or do attack the States of America.



And I'm sure you'll just say I don't know what Socialism is.

Let me stop you right there. You don't HAVE to pay for it. Not saying they won't come and get the money sooner or later.



We have a national military for a reason. I believe WWII proved to us that we could not quickly respond to an enemy attack. That's why we have a privatized military industry now.



Maybe we don't always need to have huge numbers, but we do need a military force that can respond quickly in the event of a national emergency.



The gov't doesn't have a monopoly on military force. Haven't you ever heard of the Second Amendment? The right of the people to keep and bear arms, so on and so forth... And then those people who already have arms may go on and form a well-regulated militia. Well regulated doesn't mean they can go and tell them you can and can't have this... It just means that they should be trained like a regular military force and be subject to all the same rules and oversight.
You are very wrong.



The military is a totalitarian environment. The men that stormed the beaches of Normandy into machine gun fire and mortar shells were not allowed to have a vote (or an encounter group) to see if they wanted to die. It was simply... You will go and you will probably die.



That totalitarian environment created and now protects this democratic Republic.



The Constitution requires the government to provide for the defense...Hence military.

.Do conservatives realize that the US military is completely socialist?We get it--you are advocating for socialism by trying to claim the military is such. Please move to Venezuela. You are extremely angry and think the road to communism is the way to go. People like you think you will actually have a choice when this comes about. You will be among the first to go down actually--that kind of anger and self-righteousness doesn't go over with dictators.Do conservatives realize that the US military is completely socialist?
Conservatives who complain about socialism and accuse the left of being socialist don't really know what the word means. You would think with the internet available at everyone's fingertips, the conservatives would make at least a cursory effort to inform themselves.

Another example of "Stupid is the new smart." Republicans at work.
And yet commies criticize the "military industrial complex"?

An army is not unique to socialism, and seeing how there is no conscription, and civillians can own many weapons, it is not tyrannical.

You fail.Do conservatives realize that the US military is completely socialist?
The military provides a service to the government. It is not a self-contained economy. It's operating expenses come from outside it's structure.
The federal government is supposed to provide for the " common defense " as written in the Constitution.



Show me where it says anything about me having to take care of your health.
It is socialism I know first hand and well lets just say I didn't get over my disrespect for authority while serving.
False. The US government is supposed to provide a military. READ THE CONSTITUTION
I don't think they do

And I don't think it's true

They're not paid the same

And the rank gets the blame

For what those under them do.
I pretty much get what you're saying and I agree with you, but you come off as a bit hostile.
No it isn't; promotion is based on merit.
ok, you figured it out, now balance the budget
C0ns want the military to protect them from terrorists so they can bash the government which funds %26amp; organizes that military.
