Equal rights, equal fights
It would suck if they implemented another draft in the US but with the low recruitment numbers over the past few years they might have to 😕

@Ashly I don't know... Those who are against drafting women in this thread have raised some serious points to think about.
How do we repopulate after the war if scores of women were to die alongside men???

@HootyTheNightOwl 🤔 Unless there’s another World War, I don’t think that would be an issue
I think if there is to be another draft, it would give both men and women a reality check

@Ashly I fear that we might be closer to war than most of us like to think, though.
Let's say that Ukraine loses the war with Russia... What stops Putin from going on to attack Poland and dragging us into a war that we neither planned or prepared for???
I doubt that we are escorting Dutch warships around our harbours for funsies, given how expensive it is to get them from the Netherlands to here in the first place... and we're still chasing Putin out of our waters and airspace.

@HootyTheNightOwl a lot happens in the world everyday day
I believe Putin visited North Korea recently too
Idk what those two are planning
I’m almost done with grad school so say I was drafted at least I can go to officer candidate school 😅

@Ashly Yes, Putin was in North Korea recently, talking with Rocketman. Hopefully, whatever they spoke about had nothing to do with nukes.
At least you might be spared from the front line... but you'll still have to worry about getting nuked or bombed - either where you are sent to or at home.
I wonder what they'll do about bomb shelters for those left at home, too??? I'd say that a lot more of us don't have enough clearance between our homes and the boundaries of our properties to fit a bomb shelter, even if they were issued, than there were in the last war...

@HootyTheNightOwlim studying to be in the medical field so I could help in that way
scary world we live in, definitely not the worst of times
But with today’s technology, the next world war might end humanity and all life on earth basically 🫣

@Ashly Or we could stop sending so many of them overseas to fight for other nations and then we might have as many solders as we need here at home....are 600 overseas bases really necessary?
