Seems like the only time humans act nobly and for the greater good is when their existence is threatened.
In order for you to convince me that the act of sending our sons off to war is a noble one, you would have to convince me that those who are sending them to war are doing it with noble intentions.

Good fricking luck with that.

You probably did at 18. I vaguely remember my dad getting me to go do it at post office.



I didn't even have to do it because of being disabled an all, but my pops made me do it anyway when I went register to vote the day after I turned 18.

I remember him saying it was every American's duty and if there was any way I could ever help my country I should.

Its sort of why I have two different roads of though when it comes to this. I was always taught country was important, but then we learned more about our government than our parents did so the more you learn the more its like "frick them"..

if that's the case, this country is doomed to fail. If someone declares war on us, we'll need to defend.

All this concern for equality ends when its not convenient for them.

You can't have it both ways. Women should start signing up.

Well no shite.

If there is ever another draft it will be in this country's future, not its history
many if not most historians consider speculating on the future to be part of History

I disagree. We should stop being a clown country run by a bunch of dumbasses with a clown military run by dumbasses.

Your average dude isn't signing up to go fight and die for "our" country in some shite boarder crisis in Eastern Europe as part of a federal government social experiment military.

I’ve always thought the guys drafted in Vietnam should have gotten their weapons and then marched on Washington instead.

Same with Russia currently. Go ahead and get your gear, then lay siege to the Kremlin.

LOFL. The government is doing all it can to destroy the all-volunteer force, and I’m convinced it’s by design, so it can exert more control over your life and the lives of your sons.

Unless you are a member of the senate, house, judicial or executive branches, then they get a desk job stateside, unless they demand equal treatment.

I thinks it's crazy how few women realize this is a reality for all American males. My wife was flabbergasted when I told her about it.


Yeah, I showed my wife the ad, and she didn't understand it. I explained to her how every male must sign up for Selective Service when they turn 18. She was blown away.
