Women and the draft

almost 10 years

Before anyone asks, I am not MeetTerry's alt.

Anyway, the question I have for you today is whether you think women ought to register for the selective service system (or any sort of equivalent in your country where only men have to sign up).

EDIT: This picture always cracks me up lol

nobody made an argument tho. i mean i get that maybe there's something patriarchal in it or something, that if women can't join the army then that means men rule the world, women are subject to our whims or whatever. but then that's fcking daft.

i can think of a bunch of reasons women shouldn't join the army tbh. and then the right to kill for ur country or whatever, well that's a pretty weird right to be fighting for

SMH at ppl who wanna abolish the draft. Does it suck? Yes. But when the country is on the line either some of us die now or all future generations die.


That's not how todays modern warfare even works. There's no need for a draft. If a modern country wanted to wage war on another modern country it'd be over very fast with todays technology.

What I'm saying is there's no point for a draft cause we'd all be dead or the war would be over if we were in a point were a draft was somehow needed.
