Hypothetically of course, would it just be men that got drafted do you think? Or would women get drafted as well? If it was just men, that would cancel out all the gender equality shit thats been going on...but you can't really draft women either, most of them just aren't fit for fighting, its usually just butch chicks in the army...what would go down do you think?

hmm
good question.

over here females can do 97% of the male jobs.

i think they will draft women as well.

They'd probably use women to fill the non combatant roles etc.

I think just recently counter intelligence MOSs opened up for women as well.

If HR393 (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:H.R.393:) passes, all US citizens 18 to 42 are eligible to be drafted (they also narrowed the deferments in this bill). Women must also register with the selective service (obviously).

It would only be men since women aren't required to register for the selective service.

Both men and women at 18 must register.

More females will take more non combat and combat support jobs, releasing more men for combat jobs.

Both are equal apparently.

Women would have their cake and eat it.

You can't shoot women.

You can't shoot women.

Sure you can, you just don't lead them as much

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA... I'm a bad person :(

If I know of an impending draft I'd probably join up anyways so that I could possibly have some say in M.O.S.

if most people 18-42 could be drafted, what about those with university degrees/specialist experience? would they be able to skip to draft as they might be essential to the homefront, or would they be drafted, but go into some specialist technicians/doctors/etc corps?

Some think that the Establishment would love to have an excuse to get their hands on the populace with a mandatory service. There are both pros & cons. It's been a while since I've read an article laying out the good & bad of it. Is it perhaps more likely under the new economic circumstances?

It would, for one, certainly get a lot more fingerprints in the Big Database... :)

In the past people in some jobs were exempt from the draft.

Get some...

this possibley

the nordic countries have a draft for men, they are all about equality

They'd keep the chicks at home, probably getting them to work for defence contractors or making other supplies for the war effort.

Chicks as prisoners or casualties doesn't go down well when it gets on the news, enough chick troops getting capped would really put a dampener on the war effort unless there was a huge change in mindset among the average westerners.

There is no gender equality anywhere. Its all just a show.

If there was a draft, Id hope they would draft the rich and the poor, no matter which race.

i would fucking swim the rio grande and live in old mejico. i kill for no one. bible before constitution bitches

Admin/Chaplain/Medic duty/Non weapon carrying duty. Or Alternative Service Program, where in the event your drafted, your essentially a slave sent to work to aid the Draft.

Nice try pussy. God I hope HR393 passes, women want equal rights, make em fight for it. Anyway, as of now, only men 18+ are eligible for the draft, and if your a coward like Green Tea is Good, then if the draft board feels your a true conscientious objector, then they got the Alternative Service Program.
