The Selective Service should be abolished, not made more efficient and equitable.

    Disagree, just make the draft also affect women so it’s not sexist

      I agree also require everyone to reregister at 65. Maybe grandpa and granma will think next time

      “Hmm I really want lower oil prices but having to be drafted and assigned combat roles in the middle east is something I don’t want”

      But a village of 50 men and 50 women might be able to survive with 40 of those men dead. It most likely won’t survive with 40 of those women dead.

      This is why, when shit is so bad that we’re drafting men to fight, we need to let the women stay home if they choose to.

      Good news for you, I guess… this includes making women sign up.

          Are you implying we should blindly accept Yahoo News as a reputable source for all information and disregard everything else?

            Can you find a source that says so? I only find sources that say they are not required

            Example: https://www.americanbar.org/groups/senior_lawyers/resources/experience/2024-april-may/draft-will-should-women-have-duty-register/#:~:text=And post 9%2F11%2C those,their gender is later changed.
