my thoughts in regards to the draft

I will sit back and await feminist reasoning for why men should be discriminated against by our government in terms of the Constitution.

I’m considering telling my boy to not register when he’s 18 as to not end up cannon fodder for whichever potato-in-chief’s world war. He’s in good shape and actually somewhat capable which frightens me even more.

a mens only draft is a violation of the 14th amendment

"It remains to be seen, of course, whether Congress will end gender-based registration under the Military Selective Service Act," Sotomayor wrote in a statement joined by Associate Justices Stephen Breyer and Brett Kavanaugh. "But at least for now, the court’s longstanding deference to Congress on matters of national defense and military affairs cautions against granting review while Congress actively weighs the issue."

I.e. the 14th Amendment does not apply to us.

Until all healthy people within a certain age range are as likely to be drafted as any other than if unconstitutional under equal protection

Most countries require both men and women to do military services. If and when we go to war with China you can bet it won't be men doing the serving. I mean there not even enough men now to fill up the draft. They will have no choice but to use women. It's either that or we lose to China and their allies.

I'm against the draft for something like Vietnam but if canada gets invaded I don't want my wife and daughter fighting as they don't have the physical strength, speed, or reaction time.

We don't fight because we are men and we don't fight because we are expandable we fight because we can make more of a difference then others therefore we must.

Also if 90% of all women on earth died we would be fuck but if 90% of all men died we could repopulate much much faster so if a draft comes I'm counting on 10% of you to fucking hide while me and others fight.

Wish I had more than one upvote for you!

No draft for any but it there is, should be for all.

We were told on the first day of basic training that the women were female airmen, not girls and had to be treated equally.

Next morning we all got shaved heads. The female airmen did not.

Guess I don't understand equality.
