Women can join the military if they want, they can even join combat units if they want, but they don’t have to. In the event of a draft, women are exempt, but can still join if they want to. Men are on the hook whether they like it or not. This is rather odd in the age of equality, no?

I think you’re being pretty ridiculous to suggest that a real man shuts up and ignores obvious inconsistencies in the application of the law.

It shouldn’t even be a question... Is chivalry dead?... Or, are men just emasculated to a point of no return? I volunteered and served in the Air Force to protect this nation. Women can if they want to. I would expect there are still enough real men in this country that would stand up and fight so that we would not need to force women to fight our battles for us.

What a pitiful state this country is in today.

I understand your point.

Realistically, there probably will not be another draft.

It would take months to ramp up the process. It would take months to ramp up any military to take on draftees.

Where in the world would there be a conflict so large that we would need to set up for a draft?

Against Russia? Against China?

Those wars would be over before it got to the point of “invasion.”

And the world would “glow” about it.

I would argue that in the event of a war where the draft again becomes necessary, women will be drafted.

My opinion on the Draft is the same opinion that Robert A Heinlein has, and that is all I will say on it.
