In reply to the discussion: Senate Democrats propose requiring women to register for military draft [View all]TrollBuster9090
(5,955 posts)Jimmy Carter tried to monkey with the draft, to include women, and ended up a one termer. Is this really what we want? Do Democrats really HATE WINNING ELECTIONS THIS MUCH?
Let me state my actual position: I'm in FAVOUR of a LOTTERY DRAFT that includes women, and the draft would kick in AUTOMATICALLY for any armed conflict that took more than 20,000 troops more than three months.
If we had that in place, the United States wouldn't have been in a state of perpetual war for the last 80 years. Not if all the Congressmen and Senators had their precious little brats in the bingo cage.
That's what we need, but whoever actually DOES it will lose the youth vote for a century.
Can't we at least FIX THE MIDDLE CLASS before we commit political suicide???
