Would reinstating conscription be a good way to reduce murders?

[William]

I heard such an opinion in a radio show yesterday, and I thought the idea was dumb, so naturally I thought "why not ask Q&A?".

 

[Alligator Alcatraz]

No

 

[A Gay Retard]

what's the logic behind that

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Murder is more related to culture than whether or not there's conscription.

For example, Japan also has no mandatory military service for all, and yet the murder rate is lower than in the USA.*

*(despite a recent tragedy)

 

[SandyCat]

How are the two related?

Murderers get to kill shitskins overseas and society gets an easy way to dispose of murderers

that's not how 99% of murder works. this is the dumbest idea

Trust the plan

As I recall, the guy's idea went roughly among the lines that conscription would make for people being more disciplined, thus being less terrible in general and not committing murder.

 

[Freshly Baked Socks]

Yes, but,

only enlist conscript niggers from metropolis zones.

If the 13% were literally overseas murdering gooks/sand-americans - they could not possibly be stasitistics domestically.

Two of my cousins joined the army and they came out just as immature as they went in but with added PTSD from getting shot at by sand people

No. Conscription is only effective in a society that accepts and welcomes such measures. The U.S. emphatically does not.

yeah because veterans never commit murder

 

[TerrorSperg99]

Just bring back the death penalty instead
They will always be psychopaths in society most wouldn’t volunteer for the military because it’s a common trait of psychopaths to hate authority. And if they did they’d probably private Pyle their drill instructor

looks at fratricide rates and *chop*

I love that boomers created a meme for constructive assassination of their own bosses.

If would create lower quality military members and lower morale.

The way to lower crime long term is to offer incentives for sterilization procedures and federally cap welfare benefits (like no more benefits after the second or third kid).

Which is the opposite of what we’re about to see in the states banning abortion. Shitty people are going to multiply even more. But crime will also rise in blue states who don’t mind their citizens being terrorized by criminals, so I guess it all evens out.

 

[Wine em Dine em 69 em]

It only works if they get killed in combat.

 

[Anon88]

It might have the opposite effect actually. They could get a taste for killing and want to continue it once they leave the Army.

 

[Elbow Greased Strength]

Sure, let's give even more nutjobs military training.

I can just imagine some of the trash that would end up in service. I highly doubt the garden variety hoodrats who can barely spell De'Shawn or some furry incel are going to make good soldiers.
