tl.dr - Now that women are allowed to serve on the front lines, they may be required to register for the draft.

To those not familiar with U.S. law: Our country requires all men to register for Selective Services (drafting / military conscription) at age 18. If the nation is ever drawn into such a desperate conflict that there aren't enough reserved forces to fight, then citizens can be drafted to fight as well. Failure to register with Selective Services can result in incarceration.

So either women will now be required to register alongside men, or military conscription will be repealed altogether.

7/10 American young adults can't qualify for military service.

Next they'll probably allow convicted felons to serve.

It's just another symptom of cultural decay.

I hope the happening occurs before Im an old man.

Our military is only used for aggression overseas. When they start using the draft, you go to some jungle or desert in the front lines (e.g. Vietnam). You don't get drafted into the National Guard or Coast Guard.
>>
>>26234476

I think we should hope for the end of military conscription altogether. It's just not consistent with the values of a free society, nor is it morally acceptable to force people into combat roles when they're ethnically opposed to killing.

We're already performing our duty to our country as workers and tax payers. It's by our labor and our tax dollars that a government even exists, and that our elected officials have a salary. I think they're overstepping their bounds by saying we also have a duty to take up arms to defend them. I'm grateful to those who volunteer to serve, but what kind of values are they really preserving? We're all under the thumb of an autonomous institution that's more interested in self-preservation than what's right for the people.
>>
>>26234862
In a perfect world, a draft would exist and it would only be used when our country is being invaded. So there's a threat of some foreign enemy knocking down your front door and killing your family.

Unfortunately, the US government fucked that up through Vietnam.

My wife was in the marines and talked to her about it, she thinks it's a huge mistake. One out of every hundred women might be capable to serve, and of those, one out of a hundred could actually do any good.

Excellent, I'm safe. Although that is a pretty dumb point to make especially considering the military still uses stimulants today such as adderall to keep pilots and such awake for extended periods of time.

Not to my knowledge but she says that would be bound to happen. She knew women during her service who just used it as a chance to get military benefits and slutted it up their whole time there.

9/11 already showed that the US can get a huge spike in volunteer forces without having to force people the join the military

The only way there would ever be another draft is if there's no way around it and someone invades us

>oh also you can be exempt based on moral objections

No you can't. There are provisions for people with religious objections, but those nonetheless involve a hearing. And atheists are shit out of luck. You can't be a conscientious objector on any general ethical grounds.

Even if your religious doctrines do prevent you from going to war, the military will nonetheless force you into a non-combat role, even if that means spending all day on your hands and knees scrubbing shit off the floor.

>equality without any benefits

women aren't going to stand for this and will argue the draft shouldn't exist even though they didn't say anything when it wasn't required for them to register

>tell them equality means men get to hit them with little repercussion
>"y-yeah how about no one gets hit"

>custody battle
>"hurr mothers are more emotional and nurturing so it makes more sense for women to get custody"

they'll gladly accept more money to close the "wage gap" and want to be considered for the same job openings even if they don't have the required experience but god forbid they get put in to a position where equality makes something worse for them

yeah but what if ISIS or a super mega ISIS government tries to delete the EU?
And they form the Arabian Union?

what if Iran is actually trying to link up an Middle Eastern/Muslim Union just to BTFO America?

What if we're all getting to drafts and we're sent back to pre WWII years?

The easiest way to get out of the military is to say you're depressed, it's an auto get out of jail for free card and only takes a couple of weeks

A bunch of people in boot camp did that when I was in

In reality if there ever was another conflict that threatened the US's existence you can bet they would loosen the requirements for conscription. Nazi Germany had 14 year olds defending Berlin in the final months of the war.

There's no way America would let serviceable manpower sit on the sidelines when its national security is at stake.

The draft is one of the reasons that conservatives opposed the feminist ERA. This has always been a part of their agenda.

It looks like they've expanded the definition to include general ethical grounds. But the site is clear that the claim must be reviewed by an appeal board, which means providing evidence for the legitimacy of your beliefs. Which means the board can nonetheless deny you by its own arbitrary whims.

And
>Conscientious objectors opposed to serving in the military will be placed in the Selective Service Alternative Service Program. This program attempts to match COs with local employers. Many types of jobs are available, however the job must be deemed to make a meaningful contribution to the maintenance of the national health, safety, and interest.

In other words, IF they do validate your claim, you'll be forced into hard labor instead of serving in the front lines, which is really just the same thing as being incarcerated. Thus your rights are still trampled all over as a conscript.

Turkey and Saudi Arabia are fairly stable US allies; Palestine isn't even a country, and if you really believe Iran wants world domination you should pull your head out of your ass and stop believing everything that the Zionist media tells you.

ISIS is actually helpful to the US by destabilizing Syria and Iraq before they can be taken over by Russia, and provide Russia with access to the Mediterreanean and the Persian Gulf.
With US money, Saudi Arabia has funded ISIS, yes, as they have funded most Islamic terrorism for decades, including Bin Laden and the Taliban.
