That's great. So can I ... just not on this issue. Especially since mandatory military service (MMS) is NOT a commonly held and much practiced belief in the USA, which is the country I very clearly referenced in my OP as "my fellow Americans".

I can and have made a very good argument against it, but I don't have to in this situation. It's that painfully obvious. You act like I have to justify why I think Americans who might support such idiocy are indeed fucking idiots. Are you telling me that I have to plead my case to a guy who actually agrees with me?? This is ridiculous. Are you the vitriol police? If I want to call rednecks who play with snakes and stick firecrackers in their ass fucktards do I have to research, learn and then present an argument for your approval???
Capn, if you or anyone else thinks that the best way to fix the US gun problem is to arm everyone, make 'em a Marine, and teach them how to kill people than yes, you are an idiot and I do not feel any need to explain to you why I feel that way.

What yelling?
As I understand it, caps locking is only yelling if you do it throughout a sentence. Otherwise it's merely a way of expressing EMPHASIS by catching the eye.'
Also, I don't see how this has anything to do with morality. Being a soldier or even killing people is not somehow against my moral code. I'm against war because I love peace and prosperity and I'd like to see my great grand children have a wonderful life.
