We need the draft back

The anti-war movement is still strong, the media just doesn't report on it.

And Vietnam was an unpopular war it still took them a few years to leave.

A draft won't help raise anti-war awareness.

That is true but I still don't like the idea of drafting people.

We need the draft to dilute some of the homogeneity out of the chain of command. Get some of the white, male, pre-millennial dominionists who think it's their duty to bring about the apocalypse out of the Pentagon.

Why in the world would that be the case? The people who make the descision to go to war are the ones with the authority to keep their own children from going.

Yeah, like Vietnam!

derp.

i like to give ppl credit that they would sooner rather then later get involved in local and federal government to keep things like Vietnam and now from continuously happening when their @$$ and family are on the line.

hoping cowardice of ppl will make ppl more cautious

You're a moron if you think that more minorities and women in power will make America better.

women and minorities never go to wars, never support fanaticism, and never oppress people

/fact

name one modern country where the woman was in power to declare war...

the minority i cant argue against since minorities throughout history have constantly rebelled and or declared war with other nations. 😇

Thatcher

EDIT: shit, no, Ghandi is a way better example

Golda Meir too...

hell, I'm not going to wiki every name on this list, the first 3 prove my point though, to be fair, I only wiki'd 3

name another.

Sirimavo Bandaranaike, Sri Lanka - massive corruption, mistreatment of Tamil minorities

Indira Gandhi, India - amongst others, the war in East Pakistan

Golda Meir, Israel - Yom Kippur war, assassination of Munich terrorists

Isabel Peron, Argentina - puppet fascist, supported death squads

Margaret Thatcher, Great Britain - Falkans

Dame Eugenia Charles, Dominica - supported Grenada invasion

do you actually think women are less war like than men?

BTW, this is only from wiki-ing a fraction of the women listed on that link I gave. The pattern is clear though, women from socialist/peaceful western nations are often peaceful, as are their male counterparts. Women from places where there is mass corruption and political instability reflect that context. people is people

put in a pie chart or in a percentage figures...

i bet they make less then 1%. pretty good odds if i do say so myself. 😇

of course their are goin to be apparitions just not the norm.. 😄

I wiki'ed 10 names, 6 had clear militancy, so 60%

if that doesn't do it for you, as a professional research psychologist, I am telling you, women are no less prone to violence or warfare than are men, especially women who get to be the leader of a nation.

fine, you made your point..

i guess my wish of women being the dominate sex in society is not just wishful thinking but would change anything..

but imagine a society where women are 2, 3 to 1 for every male. 😇
