I can’t believe this has had so much coverage.

When you hear hired fearmongers like General Gobshite engaging in this kind of masturbatory hyperbole, do take a second to remember he’s tugging himself under the table at the slightest thought of forcing the average person through the physical and mental torture of bootcamp.

The threat of mandatory conscription in a world full of nuclear weapons is about as effective as my threat of no dessert to my child who has a whole box of ferrero rocher under their bed.
