One of the candidates to replace former Congressman Tom Reed representing the Olean area is calling for mandatory military service, but only for men.
According to the Jamestown Post-Journal, during a campaign stop Carl Paladino said that he wants to institute a minimum of one year’s mandatory military service for all men either at the age of 18 or graduation from High School.
Paladino specifically excluded women from his requirement, saying “We [men] can’t give birth to a child, you can.”
Paladino has made a number of controversial statements during the campaign, including saying the US needed a leader like Hitler, and saying that the Buffalo Tops Shooting was a “false flag operation.”
Just another example of how rampant and serious mental health issues are in our country. I don’t mind watching Goofy and his pals on the cartoon channel but we certainly don’t need Goofy in office (or Dopey, or Sleepy, etc).
