    They already make us (is it makes only?) sign up for the draft

    One of the first things that pushed me hard to the left.

    Also having empathy.

      The draft is not conceptually bad. In the case of a national emergency, like Ukraine has had, having the organization for a draft ready if needed is a positive.

        Holy shit it’s you again, the guy from the styrofoam melting post like two posts up, having another weird overreaction

        May I interest you in “logging off”?

          It’s correct, though. The US does not register women in the Selective Service. They’re certainly able to join the military, but they are not counted in what human assets are available in a potential emergency.

            Correct, but the idea that the draft is a good thing because it counts the “able bodied fighting age men” is weird and sexist.
