It seems you have an issue with the German Army, not American draftees.

The United States Army and Marines can make a soldier shave, and stay within weight limits, draftees fought WWII, 70% of our war dead were draftees, 30% of our dead in Vietnam were draftees, and you hold them all in contempt.

A draftee could pass the PT tests and hold his own with any other man, RA, or draftee, females can’t do that.

George Washington won a war with his draftees, but he did not allow homosexuals and women.

It seems you have an issue with a Government of limited and enumerated powers.

It seems you prefer slavery to freedom and a slave soldier to a female soldier.

There was no draft during the American Revolutionary War. Washington called for one - but one was never authorized by Congress.

We won our Independence with volunteers.

Better luck with actual history next time.
