re: Buckle Up Women: Uncle Sam Wants To Draft YOU!!

This was coming.
All it requires is that they sign up with selective service if a draft is ever put in place in the future.

Do we need large man power anymore though? Any serious war would be between nuclear powers which hopefully will never happen.

Are you 100% certain? Willing to gamble our country's existence on that? And that's a pretty dangerous "hopefully".

Never say never. In the late 19th & early 20th Century the general consensus was another large scale general war in Europe in living multiple major alliances would never happen again. Then in 1914 it happened.

In the 20s-30s many thought the advent of air power meant large scale ground campaigns were a thing of the past. Then WWII happened.

And just because another war on that scale hasn’t happened in decades doesn’t mean it won’t happen again. Remember, Europe went a century between the Napoleonic Wars and WWI.

Here’s the thing. Nuclear weapons weren’t possessed by more than 1 country in any of those time periods you brought up. Nukes are the reason we didn’t have a WWIII with the Soviets. Now we came close on a few occasions but that war would’ve been a short nuclear one with no actual ground battles.

I’m saying if we ever get into an actual war (not some BS proxy war like Vietnam or the Middle East), it would be versus a power like China or Russia. We all have nukes. There’s zero point in deploying troops to try to kill each other when you have hundreds to thousands of nuclear weapons that can do it just as easily.

They’ll make women register for the draft just so they can say it’s equal, but if WWIII comes and they start drafting people, it’s still gonna be mostly men who get drafted and will do the fighting.

I bet it’s another case of women having their cake and eating it too. It will be fake equality.

If they ever tried to do this you would see lawsuits everywhere. I know I would if I was still of military draft age.

If a military draft ever does happen again (it's academic since it won't) and they try to do this I hope every guy refuses to report. It would be funny if every guy just got sent to jail and then the women would really have to fight.

Equal rights shite and all you know

A war between nuclear powers like US vs China/Russia wouldn’t be a ground battle.

Again, how do you know?

I didn’t want to make a financial choice for him that he can’t get out of.

You don't care if he ever has a job or bank account?

Again, how do you know?

Because that’s the whole reason nukes exist. All those countries are first strike countries.

So you’re telling me the USA, Russia, and/or China will all mutually agree to not use nukes and instead destroy each other by spending several weeks to months drafting and doing all out mobilization? By that logic why do any countries have nukes if they’re not going to use them if they’re attacked?

Also I mentioned nukes but there’s plenty of other tech we have right now that could supersede having a large army. Like missiles and drones that didn’t exist in WW2.

Correct. And people today aren't dumb enough to enter a draft, so it will never happen.
