Once again, the email gossip circuit offers total baloney about the supposed "mandatory public service system" and its corallary fantasy "participants are not allowed to go to church."

Click through to see the fact-by-fact refutation.

The only thing that is mandatory is the Selective Service.

Wait... I'd heard the fretting and squawking about mandatory service (which, apparently, is just like slavery — talk about offensive comparisons), but they're claiming any kind of "would prohibit going to church" element?

What on earth are these people smoking?

Or is it that they've ignored the First Amendment so long, trying to force their beliefs on others, they can't understand that it protects them too?
