NO EXCEPTIONS because of Gender, Race, Age, Sexuality, Ethnicity, Disability, etc (List your criteria/factor here).

Disability is always a bit of a different matter from the other factors, simply becuase it has actual, real effects on what someone can or can't do, that are often relevant to the job (and very relevant in the case of the military).

Just to make this very clear, I am not saying "let's go hate disabled people", simply "be as inclusive as possible, while acknowledging some things are physically impossible for people with certain disabilities".

Not every job requires you to be in the front line in the trenches, shooting back at the enemy.

There's gotta be some job that even somebody in a wheel chair or on crutches can do.

There's a TON of logistical support for every 1 soldier in the field.

Well, I mean, someone with a debilitating disability isn't exactly likely to pass the entrance physical.

Equal responsibilities

I guess so if both country's world leaders just skip straight to their ultimate atk rather then a escalating war over the months or years that inevitably forces one of or both of their hands.

China already said they'd nuke Japan if they try anything. Like strait to the nukes first response.

It worries me slightly that we pull out of Afghanistan and announce the draft is gender neutral. Are we giving up on the Middle East or gearing up for greater conflicts?

Shoulda ratified the ERA when we had the chance.

Oh like you force them to have a baby and not have the choice what to do with their own fucking bodies?

They don't want them drafted because they hate them.

Makes a whole lot of sense when you look at it from a completely backwards and illogical perspective.

They want them barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen and want to legislate how they use their own uteruses, so yes they do hate them. And they also hate men becuase they are admitting they are disposable and not in need of protecting.

War is bad and no one should be forced to die for a cause, but treat everyone equally. There are plenty of ways a woman could serve without being frontline infantry.

Imagine thinking there are good intentions from people who view women as lesser creatures. Traditional gender roles serve to control rather than liberate.

I hope this passes. Because if women can be drafted, then there can be a movement to actually end the draft

---

At the very least, we'll see who the "equality!" hypocrites are.

Politicians that vote for a draft should be the first ones to go to the frontlines, no exceptions.

---

Democrats should be the ones pushing to get rid of the draft, not expanding it.

I remember during the Obama years they had also been wanting to make mandatory national service, to force everyone to spend a year or two in military or non-military service when they turn 18. F*** that, leave people alone and let them live their lives.

You're right, but not for the reason you think. In a real conflict between America and China nukes will be used and then nothing we do will matter.

Stop.

Crying.

About.

Nukes.

Including women in the draft is a step towards getting rid of the draft

Here's the thing they can get rid of this draft they haven't used in ages. But they feel the need arises they can just bring it back. So getting rid of it only serves to pacify people who bitch about it.
