I’m an equal opportunity employer. Everyone has the right to die.
So of the most vicious fighting units in the world were female. The days of motherhood and applepie are gone forever.
I used to be like you. The bottom line conclusion is that the only way to win a life or death struggle is to kill you opponent.
If you don’t rid the earth of them once and for all they’ll be back, smarter and harder to kill. That’s just nature. People don’t want to face the truth as it’s too unpleasant.
It’s about time we faced the truth.
I think you meant to say “low.” A high number put you near the end of a long line of potential draftees.
This thread and conversation has been about the draft as it has existed in the USA. And it has damned well been compulsory unless those subject to it were able to avoid it by some illegal means, and then the law prescribed punishments for that.
"Responsibilities without compulsion" is a totally irrelevant concept in this discussion. The draft has been compulsory, and there has been no move by the feminists, who demand equal rights and opportunities, to require that women be subject to the draft the same as men.
It you want to continue going off on tangents, go ahead, but this "point" you keep trying to make is not relevant to what's being discussed here.
The idea is not to get killed, it's to kill the other guy (to paraphrase Patton). Military service is not and never should be an "equal opportunity employer". You pick your combatants carefully, arm and train them as best you can and turn them loose. War is organized murder and that will never change.
Women (and men who want to be women) are actually useless for combat - except to impede your own side. We discriminate against paraplegics, the blind, the old, the infirm and the mentally ill in military combat units - no reason at all that we should change that if we intend to win.
You lose your bet. Like I said, I used to think like you. Times have changed. Take the concept of mercy. My concept runs like this, If I kill you now you won’t have to live in my ideological state. Ghat is my mercy. Do you have any concept of how much the country is infested? If the forces aligned against the idea of the Republic? Don’t think for one minute that this is my preferred state. It is not. Better them than us. Think stout our enemy, he will offer us no mercy.
I prefer all a volunteer force plus to keep the government honest, a total private militia force. Conscription has no place in a free society.
My point is central.
And yes, there are reasons why the draftable “unorganized militia” is defined as is.
..........thanks!.................high or low, I was certain to be drafted!

........I think my good friend growing up was in the 1st Marines. Not sure. He was 18 and got shot in the head a few weeks after getting to Vietnam. He died instantly.
Fantastic guy! I drive through Johnson City often since it’s 25 miles south. Driving by LBJ’s ranch I always have a flashback of Bobby!
I truly believe that the ghosts of 58,000 soldiers and marines weighed so heavily on LBJ in his last year or two that that was probably what caused his early demise.
Wait until they find out they have to register in order to get student loans, etc.
