Truthfully? I think the IDF methodology is a good idea. Every able bodied adult must serve two years in the military.

And then they get to keep their AK-47s for the rest of their lives. The result? An armed and trained populace. |

That won't work, because the military will still want to hold it's standards for entry, which disqualify a large amount of able bodied people. |

Just when my workshoes finally felt like they were broken in, now, they're just broke. I'll duct tape these suckers till I'm walking barefoot! I'm not dropping another $70 on work shoes!  |

This is intentionally vague because I feel weird writing about work stuff publicly.
End of last school year, my team had a huge turnover. Only my boss/team leader and I renewed contracts for 2016/2017 year, and we had like 4 new folk join us. Cool. Team Leader decided to resign to spend more with her baby. Cool. Team Leader names one of the newbies as interim leader for the remainder of the school year. um...not cool. I'm trying to reassure myself that there may be a perfectly logical reason, maybe Newbie has leadership experience that I don't, but ugggh, she's only been here a month. She's still learning how things run.
This also came at an awful time. My confidence has been very low over the past few weeks, buy now it is basically negative because I can't help but think I must suck at my job.

People who claim to know better what costume and make-up you should wear, or what you have to do and add or subtract, for your own OC cosplay or roleplay character.
Thank you, but I didn't ask for your specific opinion on this matter. So STFU and GTFO.
*grrr*

Better yet, when people call out an OC cosplay as "lazy cosplay" because you created something new and unique instead of going with an existing character |

It might also help in other areas of life in this country. However, what do you do about those that cannot adapt to a military mindset? I have a real problem following orders I don't believe in. Plus my flat feet and ADHD. And then they get to keep their AK-47s for the rest of their lives. The result? An armed and trained populace.
Excuse me, comrade, but the U.S. does not use Soviet assault rifles. |

Plus my flat feet and ADHD. You would adapt. It's not like the conscripted people would be forced into combat in other countries, unless the situation was an extraordinary one. They would be tasked with domestic duties primarily. They also wouldn't serve more than two years unless they wanted to and unless the military command structure allowed it. |

Excuse me, comrade, but the U.S. does not use Soviet assault rifles.
The Israelis keep their assault rifles. And in the 70s and even into the 80s, the AK was commonly used by the Israeli army. And, on that note, it was quite common in Vietnam for our forces to use recovered AKs, because they were more reliable in the jungle conditions. The machining on our M-16s were so precise that even the smallest bit of dirt or mud would cause the rifle to jam, and the soldier would often have to completely disassemble and clean it. This is not very conducive to fighting and winning a war. The AK-47, on the other hand, had a lot of wiggle room in its components. So you could literally pick it up out of a mud puddle, and it would fire almost every time, even when caked in mud. Soldiers wanted a more reliable weapon, even if it wasn't as accurate. |
