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.

Again you get peaches.

Got back and live in your dream world.

Bringing back the draft would cause far more problems for the Military’s war fighting abilities than it would cure.
