@Curtmungus your honor of being more famous than me is quite deserved. I salute you.
Should the Draft be extended to Women?
-
Cohed Military units could work if u make the average day and intesity of the Men/Women more intense and in the Training treat them = give them the same standards and such dont treat the women like like Women treat them like men. and some Fun behind the Bunk is good for Morale and would improeve the Comradery between men and women on the front ;)
-
'average day and intesity" average day and training* ;)

Also I don’t think anybody is “for” the draft.
Actually, believe it or not, my aunt and uncle are.
They think that the President should immediately reinstate the draft, and that it should remain permanent. They think you should have a mandatory career in the military for at least two years. Pretty crazy, huh? -
i like ur aunt and uncle ;)

Pretty crazy, huh?Well actually I’m in favor of mandatory service for your country. :) The military is a great place to teach people discipline, duty, and hardwork. They strip down all your bad qualities and build you back up. However, the sons and daughters of celebrities, politicans (even the president’s daughters), the rich, and any others should not be exempt from this. That is why you’ll never see a mandatory service in our country. As for the draft, I’m in favor of it (like everyone else) in only the most dire of situations (ex. WWI, WWII, Civil War, ect.). Otherwise, there shouldn’t be the need for a draft.

Mandatory military service will not work in the US. Being a Veteran, I’ve seen plenty go into the military losers and come out about the same. It’s all about what you take with you and what you get out of it. If your not interested in discipline, duty, and hard work, it won’t help you at all. It be worse if US citizens were all made to serve instead of volunteer…

The draft won’t ever be needed again. The more and more we develop tech the less likely we’ll need mass amounts of troops. Now we can probably just strap some machine guns on UAV’s to mow dow opposing inf. Within a few years it would probably be cheaper to mass produce those then to worry about training, feeding and housing large amounts of troops. Confrontations will be on a much smaller scale or the Urban type warfare. Plus we have all the coalition building to share responsibilities. Also if a big enough war broke out to require a draft, that will be the least of our problems. At that point we’d probably be tactically nuking any large build up of invading forces or dropping some “peaceful” daisy cutters on them. What a name. :D

@TG:
No, I am saying that Feminists have secured all of the perks for Women and few of the responsibilities of being equal with Men.
Yeah, that and trying to get into all-male golf clubs. :wink:
i’ll never get that.
much as i’d like to hang out in a women’s only fitness center, it’s certainly not my goal to become a member there. Guys need a place where they can get away from the constant moodiness and b***hing, even for a few rounds of golf. . . . -
DM, I agree with you there, however…
According to Sean Hannity’s radio show, if it was voted on today in the Senate, 40 Senators would vote to bring back the draft.

I see. Too many washouts I gues….

…and very few of those Senator’s would ever win a re-election.
-
Well, the older generations (Before Baby Boomers) largely support the Draft. And hell, a War always does good things for the politicians in power.
-
No, Winning Wars do good for politicans in power.
-
TG, how many women are there in Delta force?
-
I don’t think anyone is offically in delta force :)
I did see a stat somewhere (forget where, History Channel something) that 9% of Army Special Forces are Women, no Stats on Marine or Navy units though.
-
Inmy country of origion, Bulgaria, everybody when they turned eighteen had to go to military training for 2 years, including females
-
Theres a difference between Bulgaria, with a population of what, 20 million? And America, with 275 Million people. We’d have an insanely costly, huge, and unneeded military if everyone joined at the age of 18.
-
I wasnt saying that the US should do this, I was just saying that females are drafted in my country

Well maybe not just military but also publics works and the like. Great way for job experience. :)

i kind of like this idea.
If you don’t go for post-secondary education, then you are drafted into military or public works service. That almost makes too much sense . . . it would never fly in Canada . . . .
