That was the war fought by our army that was 93% draftees.

I guess I now need to call you a liar, but I think you are just dumb.

PROFILE OF US SERVICEMEN (1941-1945)
38.8% (6,332,000) of U.S. servicemen and all servicewomen were volunteers
61.2% (11,535,000) were draftees

That is accurate, but it is for the entire military combined, not just the Army.

I would say because the information in the article is false, as multiple posters above have pointed out.

Step right up boys, you can have a signing bonus and a flag draped coffin to bring your broken body back home to your parents.

Now's your opportunity to die for the Biden/Zelensky Money Laundering Operation, the MIC and the WEF.

If you believe the lies your government tells you, you can advance to be all that you can be.

Meat grinders are fun!

The draft and historical amnesia.
VFW Magazine Mar 1, 2003
“During WWI, 72% of servicemen were drafted—50% of the men in France’s trenches were conscripted.

In WWII, 66% of all U.S. forces were drafted. Of the 10.5 million Army personnel, a whopping 93% were draftees. A poll taken in 1941 showed that just more than half of Americans would be willingly drafted for overseas service.

From 1946 to 1973, 5,077,185 men were drafted. During the Korean War era, 30% of total troops were drafted. In December 1950, 82% of the Army in Korea was made up of regulars. Exactly two years later, the ratio was 37% regular to 63% draftee in the war zone.

During the Vietnam era, 1,728,344 men were drafted. Of the forces who actually served in Vietnam, 648,500 (25%) were draftees. Draftees (17,725) accounted for 30.4% of combat deaths in Vietnam.”

I got my permanent deferment and then enlisted in the army as I had planned to all along, I didn’t believe in the draft at the time.

Why are women exempt?

The libs insisted women be allowed into combat units, so why do they get off scot free?

Zeepers are the most bloodthirsty group on FR.

It’s either sheer stupidity or they are trying to destroy this site and our country.

Do you want females replacing males in the military?

Thanks for calling that to my attention. I’ll ask the mods who added those words.

No.

But the decision, a bad one, has long since been made to allow women into combat units.

Bar women from serving on naval vessels, combat positions in the Army, Marines and Air Force.

Then, I would be OK with excluding women from having to register for the draft.

Drafting women to replace men only makes it worse and will needlessly cost lives and equipment and could result in losing our nation to another.
