draft question

Postby JDgator » Mon Jul 17, 2006 6:28 pm

If the draft is re-instated, do ya think women should be included?

I'm not sure about this one.

I know women already fill many non-combat positions in the armed forces, and since they enjoy equal rights before the law, it seems like it would only be fair. Ironically, if this were to come up, I bet the equal-rights feminists would be fighting to stay out of the draft. What do ya'll think?

Men can't give birth so women should not have go to war.. Just my .02 cents.

A long time ago, I would have said absolutely no way, but in today's world with women demanding equlity, they should have to assume ALL the same risks as men, and if that includes war and its inherant danger then so be it.

Interesting question. I say no to front lines combat for sure. I have no problem with behind the scenes computer stuff like mentioned before.

BUT if a woman is ready an willing to die for our country I say go ahead and do it sister . . . hell I'm afraid of a lot of women out there, they would surely kick my ass any given day!

rethinking this...I've heard so much anti-war crap from so many Men that I'm beggining to think if the draft was ever started again the only ones showing up at the induction centers would be women.


Its a sad affair when you hear a 18 year old Say " I aint going to risk nothing defending some other country in a war or Why should I risk My life defending this county if I dont agree with the reasons.


I registered once for the draft and won. Its not everyday you can win a Lottery :shock:
