Forgive me if I'm mixing you up with another man on this forum BUT
Aren't you the guy who punked out of military service during Vietnam? And...........you're questioning ME? Chutzpah!

Your post was nonsense unless you can justify your wreckless use of the term "enslavement". A punk is some one that dresses in wool and therefore follows like sheep. The only punk here is you.
 
So, it was you, glad I didn't confuse you for someone else.

Then they don't need a draft. This is what the topic is supposed to be about I'm guessing.

Mind you if anyone is a straight shooter they can always be snipers.

I've never seen a draft when there was no war on. I'm not sure of that.

The US had a peacetime draft. You don't think Elvis joined up on his own, do you? It was in effect from the end of WWII to 1973.

close to 30 years ago, so why is it coming up now? There was still a bit of turmoil. The Korean War and Vietnam and of course the Cold War.

Some people think the draft is more equitable than a volunteer army. People who volunteered got screwed imho by being deployed multiple times in Afghanistan and Iraq.

And by the way, 1973 is closer to 50 years ago...unbelievable how time passes.

Right on I used 2000 instead of 2020..
If years = x. Let a = 2020 and let b = 1973
Therefore x=a-b

I read the opening post again and the link. There was a commission studying it for 3 years and their conclusion was that females and males are equal for military purposes if there is a draft.

We have male and female bus drivers. The females are more aggressive. They don't slow down for speed bumps. I nearly hit the roof yesterday.
 
Pepper-quit it
Now, it takes less than a pound of pressure to pull a trigger;
anyone think a woman can't do that?
Ask a husband how much pressure a woman is capable of

Good one, Unfortunately with women’s liberation this is a natural and very late coming next step, equal rights is just that equal rights. My daughter served in Afghanistan very honorably as did my son in Iraq as did my husband, all are very tough, courageous people.

I have nothing but respect for the men and women who serve. They are indeed tough and courageous. But, realistically, very few women can hump an M-60 up and down the mountains of Afghanistan on patrol all day. Some can, but not many. So if women serve in the infantry there will be jobs they can and cannot do, and, people being people, that will create divisions and resentment instead of unit cohesion.

There is truth in your statement.....
 
I wouldn't want my 2 granddaughter's in the Army.......But the older one is a Nurse and I can see her in the Service...
Right now she is in the Hospital every day, with this Virus spreading around....I fear for her....I talked to my son today....She finally took a day
out and slept all day and night....She then went back to the Hospital the next day....She has always been a care person....
God Bless her....
