Why do we even have a selective service? The age of mass conscript army’s is long gone. It as useless to modern warfare as a pike formation or horse lancers

However, so long as there is a draft it ought to apply to both M and F. IMO, since the schools have failed us in this regard, it is perhaps the finest way to produce patriots.

Under no circumstances, however, should F's be used as frontline combatants.

A nation unable to muster its people to their own defense is doomed to oppression.
