God bless National Review. Over at The Corner, Mark Krikorian is flogging that old collectivist-conservative chestnut, compulsory national service. The problem, of course, is that we have a little thing called “individual liberty” in this country, something that should only be violated to such a grievous extent in cases of, say, world, civil or revolutionary war. But Krikorian dismisses such concerns as “the usual libertarian cowflop about being enslaved by the State.”

Hey, I already work half the year to pay my taxes, thank you very much. Conservatives hungry for a father figure to instill meaning in their lives can join the Peace Corps or something. On behalf of the rest of us, however: Piss off.
