Mandatory military service in exchange for free public education is already being floated.

Excited to see the biggest rug-pull in US history when that back half fails to materialize.

Canada should build a wall and make America pay for it

The Canadian far-right is such a fucking joke. They want to be American so badly. Far from building a wall, I suspect they'll be the ones shoving open the gates if we ever get a President deranged enough to try an annexation.

There will be "education," but the traditional description for it is indoctrination.

Two sides of the same coin. The distinction between the two is primarily whether you consider the information conveyed beneficial or nefarious.

Either way, Americans are already the most propagandized people on earth. You don't need to send people to college to indoctrinate them. You've got consumer-grade mass media doing the job just fine.
