What it means is, the documents I had to sign when I was conscripted into the Army weren't valid either. I was under duress of a two year jail sentence. Had I used my noggin, I wouldn't have signed them. 1

Correcting your spelling there. I knew very little about solicitors then, if anything at all, at 20 years of age. None were assigned to us, we were just bullied into signing without any legal representation. This happened in Australia, but somehow you think that that was OK. However, not in the US, oh no, it's not allowed to happen there!
onetrack Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago The definition of "duress" is being forced to commit a crime under a physical threat of some kind, that makes you feel you cannot avoid committing that crime without incurring physical injury, or by psychological pressure, which is the same as a threat of physical injury, but done with mind pressure. You can claim a defence to any crime committed, if you can show it was carried out under duress. But National Service is not duress, because no crime is being committed. You are obliged to carry out National Service as a obligation, as a citizen of your country, and where legislation authorising National Service has been enacted. If you had claimed conscientious objection to serving in the military, you could have avoided serving in Australia's military forces. 1
red750 Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago I reread the article. It mentions morality, not mortality, three times. It should all be over, he has no morality. 2

facthunter Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago HE wants to be IMMORTAL and Loved and Admired. That IS Fairly Normal, but to PUNISH and VILIFY People who don't WORSHIP HIM is not the Correct way to win their Hearts and Minds, Acceptable or Legal. He's going to do a LOT of DAMAGE before this is Over. USA's reputation is shattered. Trump Cannot be trusted. He's TOO Vain and Greedy. Nev 1
onetrack Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago You forgot the "totally corrupt" part of his character.
facthunter Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago (edited) I agree with Everything his Niece, Mary Trump, wrote. I even bought the Book she Wrote. Lots of People have borrowed it. Mike Pence (HIS Original VP choice) is NOT wrapped in what He's doing. Nev Edited 3 hours ago by facthunter expand 1

If that doesn't constitute "duress", then what does?
onetrack Posted 18 minutes ago Posted 18 minutes ago Read carefully what I wrote previously. It is NOT duress. You not being pressured into committing a crime, by presenting for National Service under a law brought in by a democratic Govt. https://www.ag.gov.au/crime/publications/commonwealth-criminal-code-guide-practitioners-draft/part-23-circumstances-which-there-no-criminal-responsibility/division-10-circumstances-involving-external-factors/102-duress I do agree that National Servicemen who did not serve overseas should receive more Govt benefits, to compensate for interruption to other plans you may have made during the conscription period, and to compensate for possibly lower earnings during your military service. Most National Servicemen I know who never served in a War Zone are unhappy people.
