“A group of Republican lawmakers introduced a bill on Wednesday which would send “any person convicted of unlawful activity” at a college or university, to do community service in Gaza for six months.”
“Strangely, the bill appears to refer to any “unlawful activity on the campus of an institution of higher education beginning on and after October 7, 2023” but does not specifically mention the ongoing student protests, rendering it stupidly broad.”
"Ogles spoke with Fox News about the bill, saying that, “If you support a terrorist organization, and you participate in unlawful activity on campuses, you should get a taste of your own medicine. I am going to bet that these pro-Hamas supporters wouldn’t last a day, but let’s give them the opportunity.”
Can we get a bill started that says if you support any war, you have to be enlisted to fight on the front lines of it?
I stand by the fact that there would be way fewer warhawks if they had to put their money where there mouths are.

Yeah, that one I could get behind.
That would be great if we could get most governments to pass the same rule. If adversarial governments aren’t restricted by the same rules then it tips the power balance in a way that favors foreign warhawks.
I feel like enough people would be willing to step up and defend their own country.
Defensive wars almost always have high approval ratings.
This is America though, we will end up tearing ourselves apart from the inside, no outside entity has the power to wage wars over an ocean to invade us.
We are naturally in one of the most defensible spots, with both mineral and arable resources
