Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

I see. So in that case according to the 13th amendment I should be compensated for my service.
You are.
Your normal compensation is the enjoyment of "a free State".
If you are called forth to serve in the armed forces, your compensation is your paycheck.
Very well. Please show me the court ruling to that effect.
So I am not in a well-regulated militia now? Why can't you keep your story straight? If I am in a well-regulated militia now I am entitled to be paid for it, if vague promises of freedom are my payments then why do I get paid for jury duty, if I am not in a militia then why can I buy a gun?
My story is straight. The flaw is your lack of understanding the difference between "militia" and "armed forces".
The "armed forces" are the "armies" and the "Navy" provided for under Article I Section 8 clauses 12, 13, and 14. They are the professional forces hired by the government to serve its needs.
The militia is not an "army" or the "Navy". The militia is not an "armed service". It is not regulated under clauses 12, 13, or 14.
The "militia" is We The People. Under Article I Section 8 clauses 15 and 16, Congress has the authority to provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining (training) the militia, as well as calling us forth for purposes of enforcing law, suppressing insurrection, and repelling invasion. Additionally, under the 2nd Amendment, we are directly charged with providing the security of a free State.
When we are "called forth" from the militia, we enter what the Constitution refers to as the "armies" or the "Navy", and we receive a paycheck for our military service. We are now regulated under laws enacted in accordance with clauses 12, 13, and/or 14.
When we are not called forth from the militia, we still have the obligation to provide the security of a free State, as described in the 2nd Amendment.
Where you do not receive the benefits of a free State (you are incarcerated for draft dodging, for example) you are not obligated to provide the state's security.
You're free to try to sue the government for additional compensation relating to your militia service, but whatever you end up receiving from the public, you will also end up being required to pay to the public.
