Your Thoughts on Women in The Military Draft (school, leader, state)

[MaseMan]

Yes. The likelihood of a reinstatement of the draft in the near future anyway is probably remote at best.

The number of private contractors has equaled ( Balkans) or exceeded ( Iraq and Afghanistan) the number of US troops for quite some time and not all are American.

This creates the perception of a smaller military which compels some politicians, who should know better, to use it to justify more spending. It's along the same lines as a politician talking about fewer battleships while ignoring the size and capabilities of current fleet is multiples of what once existed.

It's industrial military complex lobby speak.

No one should have to register with the government ( like blacks once had to), regardless of sex.

Wouldnt want my daughter or son fightin no stinkin war for some rich bastards/cfr overseas.. But fair is fair.. either do away with it or sign em up

Either have all 18 year olds register with selective service (cool euphemism) or none at all.

I also favor mandatory conscription. No educational or non total disability exceptions.

Patrol the borders, learn how to follow orders, rebuild a bridge, repair lead corroded pipes, serve. Grow up.

you'd be no less a slave if the govt forces you into its barracks and makes you work in its fields.
Take your blinders off.
