Clinton: I support women registering for the draft

True, the sole purpose of draft legislation today is so politicians can use the threat of a call up to frighten college kids, etc., so they will vote a certain way.

I don't even think they do that. I don't know a single person in my high school class who registered for the draft with the understanding that he would ever actually be drafted.

We have so thoroughly turned warfare into a TV and video game extravaganza that I think most young people are completely disconnected from it.

These too are not what they seem. Enabling LGBTs to enter the military has little or nothing to do with LGBT rights and everything to do with making military service unpalatable to the people best suited to fight. Same goes for pushing women into combat positions, and for requiring endless stupid sensitivity training. The Democrats don’t like an all volunteer military... when it’s voluntary it is much harder to rally demonstrators and use them to undermine support for the troops and the fight, be it offensive or defensive.
So they have decided to drive down the universe of people who think military service is a good thing.
