RE: What Happens, When It Happens? Why Don't We Know The Stuff Others Know? (PART 16)
Its quite scary how much "public" information is hidden or information that should be public and isn't in other countries. One thing we are lucky for atm is not all men having to be in the army/defense force... great article again!!
Having the necessary know how to handle crisis situations is not a bad thing, it is in fact something that is of national importance.
Many people confuse the terms "conscription" and "compulsory service" as being the one and the same. While in actual fact these terms are the exact opposite of each other. "Conscripts" go to war, those that are serving a "compulsory service" are being trained in all the necessary fields that revolve around orderly and proficient handling of crisis situations.
Likewise, as I mentioned in this post, while many a nation in their educational system ensures that their people are informed and well aware of how to handle crisis situations and what all threats may be out there, ours doesn't come anywhere close it.
Likewise the fact that the resources we have available such as the ones I mentioned in this post, namely our Cadets, are literally being left in the dark as far as the educational system is concerned.
There are many pieces of the puzzle that need to be addressed on this topic, without automatically assuming that "conscription" or "compulsory service" are the only possible solutions available to our great nation.
Unfortunately in a time of war, heaven forbid, conscription could very well become a necessity and this is the bloodiest of all forms of possible solutions. As it takes men and women, gives them just the basics in the shortest possible time frame and sends them into a situation that is deadly.
Prevention is the best cure.
Again, another point that is subject to double standards in our society along the same lines as self defence.
The point of this series is to get people who read it thinking to themselves about the reality of life on this planet. Something that we as Australians take for granted and too often reply to with our common phrase "She'll be right mate".
However, the truth of reality is not something to hide or turn our heads to, we need to logically and with a very level headed and with a very down to earth realistic approach look at how to ensure our freedoms and liberties that most people take for granted.
Our nation is each and every one of us, we all have responsibilities and duties as individual members. How can we be expected to fulfill our responsibilities and duties if we were never taught how to do them?
That is the reality of our reality.
The whole education system is fked and doesnt set us up/prepare us for anything "real"
We don't even leanr the laws or constitution! Thanks for your info and deep thoughts! Loving it!
