I'm opposed to people having guns on the ground that they aren't really necessary, same statement for police, I do think the police may need something like a handgun, but that should be the limit, which is identical to my stance on people owning guns for self defense, it should be limited to a handgun. The military is another issue, however. The purpose of the military is to fight other militaries over squabbles that failed to be resolved diplomatically. While I'm all for reducing military budgets, and taking a pacifist stance in global affairs, in the rare chance that the US actually gets attacked, such as in ww2, I do support having a small army with a large reserve corps that can be quickly mobilized for war. This means the military would retain its weapons, however obviously it should not be used against citizens of the state.

When I was little, I came up with an answer to end all world bloodshed: just settle your disputes with a game of rocks-papers-scissors. You can even do it by population, and draft folk into it, too, you can have rock platoons and scissor spies and paper psychologic warfare esquadrons, but noone listened.

ff to 2016, noone still listens to my great answer for world peace.

If you mean with "Draft" Conscription, then I can tell you that nearly no one in my friendcycle and people I know are against it. We are a neutral country, both politically and military and proud of it, so incase of nasty warmongers we need to save our asses on our own.
We dont see it as "Slavery" as you might do. More as sign of independence.

Yeah, I hear Germany and Slovenia were planning on a joint military invasion, but I think the fearsome Austrian military forces scarred them off.

No, it's slavery. It's dependence and the theode enforcing their will on you in the worst way, through making you serve for them and kill innocent folk in Afghanistan.

How is it not slavery that, whether you want to or not, you are given a job to do and if you don't do it, you'll be gaoled?

Draft is most definitely slavery, you are forcing the young to kill and die , and labor away for you against their will. It is a sickening thing, if you're in support of the draft, why don't you go where you want to send folk and fight yourself. You won't be missed when you return, torn asunder.

Also Austria isn't that independent, remember, they're a NATO allied country and help occupy with them.

Once I finished school I will go through the "slavery" anyway. Lets see if I am still alive in a year or so.

How is it not slavery? Is it voluntary? No. It's forced labor at best, forced killing and dying at worst.

Was the forced labor inflicted on African-Americans under your definition, slavery? No

Were folk captured by the Athenians and sold to other folk for labor, slaves, under your definition? No

Were women kidnapped by the Turkish Sultan's agents and forced into sex, slaves, under your definition? No

Incase you dont know, if one refuses to go to the military you can alternatevly do "Civil Service" in Austria. Thats basically working for the ambulance.
Ps.: You get paid for it.

So you get to choose your forced labor? Also , so what if you get paid? "Sorry we had you kill someone, made you see your friends die, gave you poisoning, and stole years of your life away, but here's some money."

con·scrip·tion
kənˈskripSH(ə)n/
noun
compulsory enlistment for state service, typically into the armed forces.

The armed forces don't go around planting flowers, that's what I can tell you, little Austrian patriot.

Currently Austria isnt really fighting any (major) wars... so we send professional soldiers instead of unexperienced conscripted.

So you have a draft for what exactly then? It's not beneficial to the folk of the country, it's still forced labor if not forced murder, and Austria isn't going to be invaded by anyone.

Why do you even care then? There are much closer countries to you with conscription. Like Mexico (sorry Trump), Russia or China.
The sole purpose of conscription in Austria is to teach every man how to operate a weapon and the basic understanding of military tactics incase of a national crysis.
Unlike you warmongering America we arent killing people just for the lulz.

Why do I care? Because evil ideas like conscription made the twentieth century a hellscape. Millions of folk were forced into fighting and millions were killed, needlessly and in the name of collective defense. And I don't give a care about what tax farm a human is from, I care about what they think, because what folk think will change the world regardless of where they're from, Mexico or Austria. And currently, this collectivism threatens to turn the twenty first century into yet again another battlefield with millions dead. Oh wait, it already has.
