Most people who claim others are soft and weak are soft and weak themselves. Just what I noticed.

Your name will carry on through generations, and will never be forgotten.
I think you being a bit draconian, but yes, to some of what you say. Maybe, not so severe.
Also known as civilization-process ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Civilizing_Process ). A very good thing and it's also laughable when people argue like OP. Nope nobody wants to live in a world full of ruffians and bullies or obey orders against their own will.

The amount of low testosterone beta leftist degenerates on this board is amazing. Equating real man with some knuckle dragging caveman shows how much your brain and body is rotten at this time from all that degenerate propaganda you think equals to progress. Keep on being lethargic, pathetic excuse of a "man" and enjoy being told what to do by even bigger degenerates than yourselves.

Like what? A larger chunk of the GDP devoted to an otherwise weakened military force? Delaying the entry point for productivity (you know even someone working at McD is contributing to the economy, military service does not, unless you use your military as a labor force, as dictatorships often do, but once again in that case they take paid jobs away from people)?
Or was it the loss of the hazing culture that is so rampant in conscript armies that is such a loss? Hazing culture that creates high suicide rates or psychological trauma.
What is that "lot" that was lost with ending conscription?
Have you ever considered that conscription as a military organizational model is being and has been abandoned for a reason?
People are very thin skinned these days, and it's not just the "wimps." Liberals and conservatives have both turned into easily-triggered pansies.
That does not mean you strip away their freedoms, or force them to join the military. Instead, you simply ignore them when they whine. Ignore people when they whine about micro-aggressions. Ignore them when they whine that someone else says something they don't like. Ignore them when they whine that immigrants are "Takin' our Jerbs!!!" Ignore them when they whine that other cultures are scary.

It sort of makes me smile that me being in my 20's and living life how I want to live it makes him so upset.
This is an excellent way to run a totalitarian society. If that's what you want, congrats, you've got a beginning of a template there.
Really, what is happening is that society is struggling with the self-destructive post-modernist movement, including new-age communists (who don't call themselves communists) making real power plays across western society. This is naturally degenerative, problematic, and producing exactly the kind of people who survive best in authoritarian regimes. Soft, quiet people. Of course, this itself, on a longer timeframe, self-destructive for that society.
As ever, perhaps boringly, the best solution is not to go hardcore to one direction or another, one political side or another. But that's a much harder position to gather people for. It's much easier to provide a set of enemies and leaving vague (or perhaps not even realizing) the consequences of one's own stance.
People who think like this are truly weaklings. Weak of mind and reason and lack all logic. It’s pathetic and sad. Screams of tryouts no to make up for something. See a therapist.
Authoritarians historically speaking usually emerged from a period of conflict and strife, things you seem to consider would create "hard men" who would oppose such things.
Spanish Civil War, produced the Franco regime.
World War 1 produced, Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Fascist Hungary.
World War 2 and the Chinese Civil War created Maoist China, North Korea.
Etc.
Hardship and instability wears people down. Makes them eager for stability and order, something authoritarians typically claim to offer.
I thought it was about reintroducing more Masculine things in school, Like Woodwork and Orienteering classes. Instead it's some dumbass trying to make people thugs.
