Better idea: Only draft politicians who are responsible for granting approval for a war.

You want it so bad, you get your arse up and go fight it. Leave the rest of us out of your bullshite.

On this, they’re certainly correct. This is an argument that can and should be made. But as it lacks a necessary moral component, it is insufficient. Many Republicans are loath to admit that, beyond the fact that women lack the physical strength necessary for combat, it is profoundly shameful to send our mothers and daughters to war.

Who says a drafted women would be cannon fodder as drafted men are? They'll get cozy positions in some office.

Women should undoubtedly be granted equal opportunity to pursue a career, yet our strength as a nation is not found in the “equity” of our military forces. Furthermore, as important as military preparedness is, our strength is not only found in a strong national defense. The “home front,” rather, represents an important harbinger of our national security and strength. And on the home front, it is women who tend to be the captains, majors, and generals.

I see, women command in the home.

My point, of course, is not to disparage the many brave women who have served in the military. No doubt, they have served this country well. Americans are very grateful for their service. But these extraordinary women chose this path. Other women unwilling to make this choice should not be forced into it. And to argue against this, we must ultimately accept that fundamental differences between men and women make the latter generally less fit for military service.

Sorry, we've been told a million times that women are every bit as combat capable as men. And a male only draft has been ruled unconstitutional.

Furthermore, the U.S. at large rejects this measure. An Ipsos poll found that only 45 percent of Americans want women to be required to register for the draft, down from 63 percent when a similar measure was initially introduced in 2016. Women are even less supportive of the measure than men: Only 36 percent of women favor the measure (compared with 55 percent of men). Ultimately, female conscription remains a dream only of those in the ivory towers.

Sorry, if there's anyplace where the opinions of the people don't matter, it's the draft, which will send many of them unwillingly to their deaths.
