You keep blaming the lack of a draft with the amount of women serving in the military.

The lack of a draft has nothing to do with the increasing amount of women in the military.

Bringing back the draft will not fix the problem of the increasing amount of women in the military.

Your lack of response to my comments on women being allowed to serve in the Infantry show you are not keeping up with what's going on now.

Live in the 60’s if you want to but the rest of the US is not going back there.

You keep posting personal nonsense about me and ignoring the facts of the discussion.

Living in the 60s is more your point of view, I am telling about a continuous draft from 1940 to 1973, something that you keep ignoring, the draft is normal, trying to maintain a global war fighting machine without it, isn’t.

While there has been long time pressure to bring women into the military, ending the draft helped that effort very much, and it absolutely drives the need for women today.

The military didn’t temporarily accept 42 year old women because the enlistment offices were being flooded with young men.

We have a shortage of men in the military, and we have a shortage of military men to fight a major war, and the people we do have, cost us too much, and that expense will continue to grow as women approach 50% and quality of life issues and pay, and benefits become the dominate factor of government service in the military.

Women are there to stay, the only thing that can dilute them and their negative effect, and reduce the pressure of them spreading into more jobs, is more men.
