A New Bill Was Introduced to Congress...A Democrat Wants to Reinstate the Draft,

so wrong in so many way the point is get our men and woman out of the wars and get them home not make it that they might be called to goto war thanks for sharing

I am not certain that reinstating the draft will have the same power and conviction in the military as it did in years past. The draft is forcing men and now women to take part in military service to the country instead of volunteering to serve, I don't think it will be seen in the same light by men and women and may even deter people from believing the military can survive that way. Entering military service should be a choice and not a sign of force.

Well, looks like DEMANDING equal rights is paying off. Thank your feminazis for this. I see where it makes sense. If women want the same, then they get it. Color me silly, but I still like men to open the door and I like compliments. I agree with the old quote (author is debatable) women who seek equal rights with men, lack ambition.

Right now it seems like the current selective service law is biased because it requires men between the ages of 18 and 26 to register. If they don't register, then they can not apply for federal grants or loans in particular loans or grants for education. Also if they do not apply they are barred from holding government jobs. In some states they can also be barred from obtaining state aid or going to college at state colleges.

The ghost of draft is exhumed times to times in countries that have suppressed it. The main hidden reason is not to indoctrinate citizen but to reduce artificially unemployment during economical crisis. Indeed it would work better with this in mind if women were also included.

I don't see people standing for this. The only reason I can think why this might get passed (which I doubt will happen) would be if war were about to erupt... and with north korea testing nukes, it is a possible and scary thought with the lunatic in charge there :/

they have been wanting to do that for a long time now. i think they just want to have us all killed. putting us all in the military is a great way to do it.

I don't see the mandatory military service happening at all. The main reason is that the military is very strict about screening its applicants ahead of time. They measure both a candidate's ability to handle service and the ability to do certain jobs. They are looking for people who have math skills, electrical skills, mechanical skills, etc. They aren't just accepting everyone who applies. Add in the reductions in the near future and the budget just doesn't have the room to accept every one. Especially, with a President that is so bent on downsizing the military. Are there even civil service jobs? I know there are a couple of programs but those are mostly privately funded stuff which means that they can't accept every candidate that crosses their door either. Seriously, this bill has major issues.

How's that women in combat thing working for you liberal women now?

Honestly, I doubt this would ever pass and if it did somehow, it wouldn't be instated for long. It wont weaken the military as some women are just as good at taking physical damage or shooting as men. It will however cause a bigger issue as they wouldn't be able to screen nearly as many people. It would just be overall bad. They risk taking many Americans with mental disorders and I would hope that our congress whether democrat or republican would think of the issues with that. After several events that have happened in this country, I don't think anyone wants to see mentally unstable people with weapons and access to more powerful weapons. For now, I think this person just wants them to realize war isn't the answer. I wouldn't call children getting an education socialistic indoctrination unless you are implying that it would be better if everyone was just barely smart enough to work. For the two years of service to the military, the same military that easily scared people want to have an even larger budget, I have heard some people down south and primarily red states fully agree with having young people serve a mandatory two years and some want a mandatory five years. I couldn't tell you what is going to happen with them just that some people fully agree with that.
