In reply to the discussion: Senate Democrats propose requiring women to register for military draft [View all]TrollBuster9090
(6,135 posts)...under certain circumstances. If we had a lottery draft that would kick in AUTOMATICALLY for any armed conflict that lasted longer than four months, and required more than 20,000 troops, the USA would have been involved in a lot fewer wars. Congress wouldn't be so quick to throw troops into combat every other week if they knew their own precious little brats were in the bingo cage along with everybody else's kids.
Having said that, whichever party introduces legislation on this will lose the youth vote for a century. Can't we at least do some good before committing political suicide?
Letting the Supreme Court do the dirty work is the best thing for it! Kill two birds with one stone. Have the court rule that women should be included in the draft; and then add THAT to the list of reasons the SCOTUS needs to be reformed.
