I should not be forced by the government to drink from a bottle or can...
Kaslin,
As a member in the military and working within it for over 32 years, I can tell you that the draft is a real need. Our draft numbers are based upon slots. If we are in a real or perceived strong economy the enlistment numbers drop. This creates a problem filling “slots” in our military workings. I don’t know how many people that came in and were deployed to the middle east weren’t looking for ways to get out of it. They were looking for a job, and not a military one. the main injury in the middle east that brought women home during Desert Storm was pregnancy. And from what I saw personally, it was intentional. So, you can’t expect the people to be consistent with enlisting if the economy is good, and the need to fill slots is there. I remember when the3y had an overage of personnel after Vietnam. So they started “palace balance” to fill slots and people walked away. Then the destruction of the military numbers and equipment of the 90’s by Clinton finished the job. we4 need numbers. We are not capable of working two or more theaters at the same time competently at this point. Women, even if they are not physically able to accomplish combat slots due to their body breakdowns, can handle very many other type of slots. Many better than men. So yes draft them if they are needed. And they are needed.

This author has no idea of the principle at issue. We have retained the draft apparatus because this is what the government does, control the population in as many ways as possible. In the unlikely event that a draft were required, it could be reinstated in days. But, requiring women to register would mean the end of the draft and every politician knows it.
On the other hand, if we had a true universal draft, including women, the political nonsense of allowing a handful of women realizing their fantasies at the expense of the nation’s defense capability would disappear over night. This issue is purely political, nothing at all about defense policy. By defeating this provision, the gutless Republicans have surrendered to the Democrats and the social engineers.
Other than the training draft the military would be wholly voluntary. In time of war there would be quite enough volunteers, the reason being that everyone has experience with the military and has the basic training. There would not be the widespread fear of the draft or the military because it does not disrupt lives if everyone has to do it before he can do anything else. Draft dodgers don't get to get an educational jump on draftees. Much of the opposition to the draft, other than the purely political, is fear of the unknown. Building a fighting force if serious war does come would be much quicker if everyone already had that basic and infantry training.
My generation (post WWII) survived the draft. The resistance to a draft started with the worship of bad citizenship in the 1960’s. All great peoples require their citizens to serve such desire to serve dies with the love of country.
The emasculation of males and de-feminization of women is to destroy all natural instincts in little boys and girls-—to normalize the irrational and destroy the male/female paradigm of Christianity—the most rational, just, brilliant “faith”. The most perfect (Natural), system ON EARTH in ALL OF HISTORY is literally being destroyed (ERASED BY INDOCTRINATION) because parents give up their children to the indoctrination systems (schools/TV). (No embedded Natural (Real Life) interactions—all screen programming and controlling of emotions/desires so outer control ONLY exists and maturity (Virtue—inner control of base emotions)) is impossible (no practice/habituation/embedding of agency—every system is to destroy Agency INTENTIONALLY and create dependent “group (non) thinkers”).
The very philosophy of our Constitution is based on Free Will and Individuality (Natural Laws where males/females are DIFFERENT—NEVER THE SAME (roles are crucial to NORMAL NATURAL RELATIONSHIPS AND FLOURISHING FUTURES). Reason and Logic and Virtue (Excellence) is being destroyed in our children by the skools of indoctrination/programming unnatural evil desires and lies). (Repeat the Big Lies (like boys are girls) and it becomes the Truth).
These evil sodomites have been teaching pride in sodomy for over a generation to little 5 year olds (making Vice into Virtue—Flipping 2000 years of philosophy, back to paganism/Satanism/tribalism (inability of the masses to think “critically”—to have a coherent abstract “thought” in their empty, irrational “minds”.
The “draft” is in direct conflict with the very philosophy of our Constitution (as was slavery of Blacks as Jefferson and Adams noted at the Founding).
Epigenics/Social Manipulation of the desires of little boys and girls is being SO WARPED and DESTROYED——so that the NWO of total slavery (goose steppers who kill for corporations/few elite sodomites continues.
I think that the “draft”—even of males—is unconstitutional and should be ended completely. The State is evil/Governmnet is EVIL (force), as the Founders ALL stated. They should NEVER be able to FORCE any man into being the slave of the State elite sodomites or irrational corporations who fund all the psychopaths. (Of course, with drones they are eliminating the “need” for humans to kill-—they now can just kill masses and not deal with the “moral” few in our military now, since it has been purged and the homosexual jackboots are being put in place-—exactly as the homosexual Brownshirts-—so they are capable of killing and brutalizing even little children and women.
Sorry for my awful editing again—but always in a hurry and have a MILLION things to do.
We need the draft but not for woman. We need to draft these silly millennials and then make men’s men of them.
There’s not much left of my libertarian philosophy as I’ve aged. I’m a lot less ideological, but in a free nation, that is not at war, I feel the draft is an imposition on the individual that goes a step too far. I understand young people are adrift, and need direction, but in any time & age that’s always the case.
As far as I can tell, the military is doing just fine, with people who have joined because they wanted to be involved with the defense of our nation. Forcing people to serve for 2 years or more in peacetime is allowing government too much power....too much involvement in our private lives.
If there’s a war, an attack, an emergency....a draft is rational & proper, but otherwise; the less ties people have to this, or any government the better IMHO.
We do not belong to the State.
I would rather have a well trained force with the manpower and resources to do the job over a conscript army full of kids who don’t really want to be there, even in peacetime. Bring the armed forces up to strength and restore readiness without the draft first.
Gee now that women are proposed for the draft, we dont need it anymore.
Who is calling for a draft? There has been selective service registration for decades.
Any war requiring a draft would be over before we could get the lottery started.
But I thought feminists wanted equality.
What we need is peace. War hasn’t been helping us at all and there’s no longer any popular support for these military adventures, which creates an extremely tenuous situation. When our military goes to war it needs to have the backing of the population and it doesn’t have that anymore since these expeditions have no real connection to national security.
There will never be a draft again. It would be political suicide.
