“I could imagine a draft in this day and age.”
I couldn’t see this ever happening; when libs pushed the concept that government couldn’t tell you what to do (in any area), they gave up any possibility of forcing anyone to show up to kill or be killed in some nonsensical war half a world away.
As a father of sons, I’d love to see how they try to draft men but not women in this age of “equality”; I would just tell them my sons “identify as women”.
This country has seen its last draft already. A friend’s son is being discharged because he is too heavy (he gained weight because he couldn’t work out after a car accident); the same friend has a daughter in danger of being cut because she can’t pass some other kind of test. Our military is overstaffed now (as people flock to it as an employer of last resort); whereas ten years ago they were overlooking felonies to send troops to Iraq & Afghanistan, there is simply no role (or funds) for so many people so they can be picky now.
Kinda blew that all to Hell with the forced purchase of abortion coverage in Obamacare, didn't they? But then, hypocrisy always was their strong suit.
Liberals really have no problem with killing, and they definitely have no problem with telling others what to do, so when they run the government--look out.
