This whole thing with women possibly having to sign up for selective services is just insane.
Not because they are women, but because we have people cheering for ANYONE AT ALL to be forced into mortal combat if for some reason our sociopathic "representatives" deem it "necessary."
The fact that the draft hasn't been implimented since Vietnam won't stop the "powers that should not be" from activating it at any minute, (especially in the guise of gender equality.)
The very fact that this is being tabled should tell you they fully intend to impliment it. At some point when people stop buying all the hero propaganda and enlistment goes down this is absolutely a real possibility.
If you are a man or a woman and you don't want to sign up why should you have to?
You don't. Period.
Your life belongs to you, not to some politician that will most likely never wrap their hands around a rifle themselves.
I have actual respect for a "draft dodger" (is that genuinely supposed to be an insult?) Standing up dor principles in the face of punishment?
Why on the other hand should I or anyone have respect for someone who is drafted and goes into service even though they are opposed to it. Is that really to be considered a "brave" thing?
Why would anyone do this? How much have we had it drilled into our head especially in the US that the ostracism of being a "coward" is worse than being maimed, killed, or psychologically scarred for something you don't believe in or even desire to do?

i also have respect for them. dodge that shit!

As usual, in dealing with the govern-cement, the stated reasons are not the real reasons.
Like feminism says they speak for equality... but only look for "equality" where it benefits women.
I actually believe this is a far more sick and twisted ploy.
Everyone who has fought, knows that the most important aspect is reliance on your buddies.
Everyone who knows about human nature knows that men protect women.
So, you put those together, and either they want to create a dragnet to take in all young people, or they want to create a fighting force that is doomed to failure. (what better way to control, or get rid of those useless eaters.)
From a logical point of view, a draft is a form of slavery. We abolished slavery.
Assuming the draft, the logical view is that we want the best fighting forces. (this means men in the trenches and women in KP, and probably a firm barrier where you can look but you can't touch. No men in the women's side, and no women on the men's.)
My assumptions are that the govern-cement doesn't care. They want cannon fodder, and as long as they will follow orders, then lets have bread and circuses and wars.

The use of conscripted soldiers, given a few weeks training and then sent into combat, has been proven, in various wars, to be a totally ineffective way to run a war.
And yet the US persists blindly with this approach, just as the generals of the first world war persisted with the approach of sending young men into the hell of places like Gallipoli and Passchendaele.
I have no issue with things like military service. I come from a military family and the ideal of service is deeply ingrained in my soul.
In a nation like the US that is pre-occupied with the concept that they are coming to take away what you hold most dear, with they being anyone who is not us, you can understand the government wanting to know how many boots they can put into the field.
The US is still fighting the second world war, using second world war tactics and ideas. Why? Because it is pretty much the last time they saw large scale success. War is different now. The battlescape has changed dramatically, but the mindeset of the generals and politicians has not.
I have respect and admiration for those that serve because they chose to.
I have respect and admiration for those that serve despite their misgivings and their desire not to.
I have respect and admiration for those that choose not to enter the foreign battlefield, but instead chose a more personal battleground in their homeland.
All of there people go to war whether they want to or not. All of them will face their enemy. Some will fall, and all will be changed by their experience.
If you cannot understand why someone would do this, that is not their failing. Each choice requires an act of courage. Each choice is flawed.
The only way to prevent having to make these choices is to understand other people. To not create them and* us*. We don't make war on us, only on them.
if you want to make sure no-one gets drafted, get rid of them, and make them us.

During, for instance, a war of invasion, a draft is a necessary thing and responding is an honorable act. It is based on simple human nature.
Compare it to a fire in your apartment house, you are holding the door so that others can leave more quickly, but you see someone has fallen down and hurt themselves. You stop the next able-bodied person and say, "You hold the door while I go help them!"
You have just drafted them.
If they refuse, they lack a social property that humans need. If they accept, we can justly honor them for being a benefit to our species as a whole.
This all falls apart with unjust military action based upon greed and power, of course. What we have now is a perversion. Sociopaths have perverted our natural human responses to aid them in their quest to control the masses.
But it is still a natural human response, we cannot blame those who are manipulated by their own neurobiology. They are still showing a valuable human response that our species needs. We just need to line the politicians and generals up against the wall.

Politicians and generals are powerless without the grunts following their orders. Until those lower on the totem pole begin to wise up the ruling class will continue to exploit them.

True enough, but what is more likely? that we can dispose of the 0.01%, or that we can change the intrinsic nature of the rest? Especially when that small group controls education and the media?
Not advocating violent revolution, BTW, (Quit looking at me like that, NSA), just saying there's a more effective end of the equation to change the variables in.

The various branches of mind control run deep in this society. Just as it took multiple generations to convince people it was honorable to pick up a rifle aginst someone you've never met because somebody behind a particular desk said so. Likewise it could take multiple generations to reverse such thinking.
When we raise our own children instead of abdicating that responsibility to the TV, the state, coaches, youth leaders etc. We begin to see success against the socially engineered onslaught that has warped people's minds.

I certainly agree with that. I homeschooled my family and do not regret a single part of it, except I wish I could have done more.
I should dust off my rants about Horace Mann and the Prussian Method of State education.

Asking someone to hold a door during an emergency isn't even mildly comparable to conscription with the threat of jail.

I was not comparing the action, I was pointing out the behavior.
If an analogy is a perfect one to one comparison with the thing it is an analogy of, then it is that thing, and not an analogy.
