See, there's an issue with that.

You send everybody off to war where the fuck did your young generation go?

Alternative Facts · September 24, 2014, 02:05:55 PM

Or we can get rid of the Selective Service System/Draft entirely.

Mordo · September 24, 2014, 02:08:16 PM

If it's going to be mandatory for men, then yes, it should be mandatory for women too.

But like Icy said, we should just do away with it altogether.

More Than Mortal · September 24, 2014, 02:10:07 PM

Or, just as equally, abolish the draft for men.

DAS B00T x2 · September 24, 2014, 02:11:36 PM

Fist, let me just get this out of my system.
>implying selective service will eve be called upon again

Okay, now, I'm pulling this out of my ass with a little bit of basis in my own experience. Maybe a third of a randomly selected of women could be competent in combat. What did we really draft for? Grunts. Good ol' eleven bang bangs who died by the dozen and were replaced in seconds by some poor guys who got voluntold by Uncle Sam. I don't know about you, but forcefully putting Ms. Homecoming Queen in a combat situation sounds like a fucking recipe for disaster.

Besides, their period blood will attract bears.

The technology has changed so much I can't picture needed a draft ever again. An increasingly fewer number of troops are being used these days.

Naoto · September 24, 2014, 03:49:50 PM

No.

I don't give a shit about this whiny 'but men have to' garbage. Or some sjw vs fedora internet fight. When it comes to war you don't fuck around. If you're calling a draft that means shit has gone bad, and men are just better equipped, mentally and physically, for being pulled off the street and going and killing other men.

Think about the people you know. Male and female. Now imagine you're wounded in a fight. Who do you want carrying your ass out of there?

Nope. I've no doubt they exist but we're talking ratios here. How many random men could kill you vs how many random women.

You really think an army of random civilian women is going to be effective vs something that killed all your professional soldiers?

September 24, 2014, 04:43:11 PM

The draft shouldn't exist in general.

Septy · September 24, 2014, 04:44:17 PM

Fuck no, who would be making our weapons, and taking care of the families back home if everyone who is capable of lifting a gun is out there killing each other?

Old people and teenagers.

Yeah, because I'm going to trust a rifle made by some old guy who can't see past the barrel of a gun, or made by modern day whiny teenagers.

I'd rather my guns be made by a woman, and no I don't mean that in a bad way, I mean that they should be the ones building our weapons and running the stores back home, than the teenagers and old people.

How catastrophic to a family would it be for both parents to be killed and all that's left is the children who can't fend for themselves? You'll probably say "well send them to their uncle's place!" Well guess what? they're still out there fighting while their kids are also stuck on their own waiting for him to come home.

That's what we have orphanages for!

Charlemagne · September 25, 2014, 01:21:53 PM

If there's a draft, sex/gender and the rest shouldn't be discriminated against. If someone is physically able, they should be eligible for a drafting. I'm not saying I do or don't support a draft, but that's my stance on this particular issue.

Well the draft shouldn't fucking exist. What's the country gonna do with all the young men/women of this generation who have no interest in being in the military anyway?

Same thing they did with them in the 60's. Not give a fuck about what they think and arrest them for fleeing to Canada.

Hey Atleast they were granted clemency.

Isara · September 26, 2014, 08:37:08 AM

Yes, in case there's an actual need to call upon drafting then the military needs more hands. Depending on people's capabilities, and physical conditions they can be put accordingly to proper use. Therefore, there is no need to prohibit women from the obligation of singing up.
