the topic is Should women as well as men be drafted in time of war? i am stuck with as Yes they should and need information on it that would help as much as possible. all info will be greatly appreciated. and if you need to add anything, please do, as well as sources. thanks.

Answer 1

i am a female and i think that women should be drafted in time of war as well as men. BUT here is my opinion on it.. if a woman is single and has children i think she shouldn't have to go, or if she is the only woman for her generation. as well as men, i think if he has kids, and is a single parent, or if he is the only man in his generation, i think he should not go. i think it should be equal. i think if a woman wants to fight for her country and has the knowledge and skills, let her. it is her choice to defend her country

Answer 2

YES! I am a female on active duty and I was not the normal recruit. I entered at 29 following college. I had three college degrees from Notre Dame and was bored with my life and job in corporate America. It was the best choice I ever made. There are millions of girls and woman in America on the wrong track in life and would benefit from the discipline of the military. The military is an outstanding life. The benefits far outweight those of our civilian counterparts and overall it is a benefit to enlist. Woman are not disabled just by being woman. They can do 99% of the jobs in the military just as well and sometimes better than men. It is an attitude thing for men and woman. If you do any job with a crappy attitude you won't succeed. But to be honest about your question, yes woman should also be drafted, but we are not even close to needing a draft. Civilians like to believe the whole American military complex is on the verge of being destoyed, you are all wrong. Recruiting numbers are just fine. I work at the MEPS and KNOW the numbers for all the branches and we are ALL doing what we have been asked to do as far as putting in new recruits into the services. On the other end, yes some branches are losing people, but that is normal. A lot of people do not do 20 or 30 years of active duty, they do whatever they want to do as far as time in and then get out and go to college or whatever. Don't buy into the news media's woe's of military panic. We are all fine and we DO NOT want ANYONE in the service that didn't enlist on their own. Hope this helps.

Well, the Supreme Court has decided that women have a constitutionally subtextual right to decide what happens to their bodies. Since the draft is involuntary, I'd say it would be found unconstitutional on the grounds of Roe vs. Wade. Unfortunately for them, men don't enjoy those same rights and can be pressed into mandatory service at any time.

Answer 4

I believe that women should be included in the draft because women want to be treated no different than men. If we have women in the military now women should not be exempt from the draft based only on gender.

Answer 5

Preamble of US Constitution reads, "All men are created equal." Currently, that means our freed slaves and women as well as we are all entitled to vote and orchestrate the political direction of our country as well as inherit the obligation of defense of said nation. Military service obligations should and could be met by the distaff side even if they have children whom could be housed either on base or in dependents quarters stateside where they could receive education and care from civilian or military personnel trained for those purposes. The mother would be expected to contribute part of her pay for this expense just as males must send money home for dependent care if she cannot leave children with husband, ex or "baby daddy." Would certainly strengthen the family unit which used to include grandparents and most Americans would not find that arrangement strange at all. In cases of divorced couples or identified fathers of illegitimate children, support could be enforced by the court system and take a load off the taxpayers as well. Combat troop support is everyone's responsibility, single, married or ignorant of the difference between "rifle and gun," as such legislation could evoke responsibility in birth control and/or parenting issues as well as moral expectations of the service person's community.

Answer 6

yes, why not. of course they would be placed in the job positions they are allowed into now. though just like draft dodgers in the past...we will come up with alot of unplanned pregnancies to get out of it.

but, in the end,and in my own opinion (though like *** holes everyone has one) i do wish the draft would begin cause then my husband would have been allowed to get out on time and my family (husband, my son, and I) would not continue to be held "captive" under the stop-loss policy aka backdoor draft. It would be this month on the 27th we would have been able to get on with our lives after already 9 years in the military my husband wanted to leave the military behind, even though the retirement light in the tunnel was halfway complete, does not want to serve for a criminal of a commander in chief! But after being deployed in March, we have an added 14 months of time to be held against our will in the service. All of you who say that "this is an all volunteer army" and its in the contract, shove it up your butt and try to put yourself for once in the shoes of a miltiary spouse or kid. This life gets old after a while especially when we had plans to move on, the only thing keeping us together is the fact that I understand being a veteran that he has no control over it and he is a good man and NCO so that he will do his job and fulfill the needs that he has to and we will move on as soon as we can.

Sorry to rant, but yes women have to be included, why not. no need not to. privileged kids should too.

Answer 7

In 1945 the yank planning team anticipated that the invasion of Japan might want to cost between 250,000 and 500,000 casualties. After the conflict, some politicians casually made this "0.5 a million useless" and later "a million useless." In any experience, any estimate of casualities incorporates killed, wounded and lacking. the unique estimates were a not-unreasonable confirm in accordance to cutting-edge American experience with fanatical eastern defenders of the Philippines, Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and one which a postwar exam of eastern plans for the protection of the homestead islands has a tendency to undergo out. there develop into no indication that the eastern might want to strive against any a lot less strenuously if their homestead islands were invaded. certainly, it develop right into a secure wager that the battling might want to were even extra expensive. the eastern continually validated a marked reluctance to provide up, both on the battlefield or on the negotiating table. the yank human beings, in gentle of Germany's resign in might want to 1945, were wanting to get the conflict contained in the Pacific over with once a probability. The electorate were making this favor really sparkling to their elected officials and the government between those, Truman, develop into listening carefully. He were instructed that a blockade of Japan might want to ought to gon on for a 12 months or extra beforehand Japan ultimately gave in. the yank human beings might want to have none of this and wanted something performed. Nuclear guns were merely yet another incentive for the eastern to provide up, and no man or woman develop into particular they could be any extra persuasive than the present fireplace bomb raids (which killed extra human beings than the atomic bombs).

Answer 8

The draft is only brought up as a democrat ploy to frighten school children and convince them to hate America like they do
There will be no draft, not for men or for women
the unwilling, unwashed, undereducated are not wanted or needed in the military
There will be NO DRAFT
Don't be frightened my child
call it what it is a FEAR tactic used by defeatist Liberal Democrats to frighten children

Answer 9

I think the best case would be to continually tie this issue to women's rights. Make cases for equal treatment and equal rights, equal opportunities, equal pay, etc. Even though it really doesn't have much to do with that. If you can completely make people believe it is tied in with women's rights, you win. Because no one will want to sound like they are against women's rights.

Answer 10

Soviet women were front line soldiers. One female sniper killed dozens of Germans. As far as I know, only the Soviets had enough female troops on the front lines to judge the effectiveness of women in combat against a real opponent.
