I challenge your petty contempt for our fine Female Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen - who were all volunteers who WANTED TO serve our nation.

Sorry you don't think they should be able to serve voluntarily and would prefer slave soldiers conscripted under the threat of imprisonment - making Military service only one small step above imprisonment as a vocation.

The universal contempt of professional soldiers for conscript soldier was my topic, that and the incompatibility of a Government of limited and enumerated powers that recognizes the natural rights of life liberty and pursuit of happiness with the involuntary servitude of conscripted military service.

You are evidently fixated upon female troops.

They are a small part of our active Military and do a much better job as professionals than the unkempt undisciplined drug taking unwilling conscripts of previous eras.

That is your claim, I'm starting to think that you get all your information about draftees second hand.

You should honor at least those draftees in the Continental army and the Indian wars which gave you this nation, and females are currently close to 20% of the military already, and heading to at least 50%

Something that is a little scary, is that in your mind, you seem to think that a 19 year old man who was drafted, was immune to becoming a true soldier during basic training and AIT, or Jump School, or Marine boot , you even seem to think that somehow they were immune to normal military discipline

I served during the draft, I just didn't see all that stuff you seemed to have witnessed, or heard about from the kind of guys that would spend time with you telling you sea stories.

Do you honestly think that you could have spotted the drafted Marines?
