>>Sounds to me like we need a draft of all males 46 and under ... <<

Why just males?

"Why just males" you ask?

If they were to reinstate the draft and send draftees to Iraq, this would be insane, as it would result in more resistance than the final days of Vietnam. Now if you were to draft women, that would be worse than twice as bad.

Bubba didn't raise Dixie Lee to be no soldier. The few deluded remaining ratwing believers in the US live in little towns where drafting women would be about as popular as forced intermarriage and compulsory abortions.

What did you think of the bombing of Falluja and the use of white phosphorus in populated civilian areas?


General Sherman would have liked it fine.
If he had had WP Atlanta would have burnt all the hotter.

And he would have explaned it the same way , whatever makes the war shorter is worth doing.

If women are allowed to voluneer and serve i don't see why they are too delicate to be drafted.

Seems like a chauvinistic attitude to me.

You will find that most Americans do not think that women should be drafted.

Some women make fine soldiers, but many more would not.

There are more than enough men to win any war in Iraq, provided that they would actually step forward and allow themselves to be made into soldiers. I don;'t think this would happen, but we will never know, because there won't be any draft without an attack a whole lot worse than 9-11.

You cannot expand Sherman's notion on assumption.

You seem to assume he would maintain the philosophy of always doing whatever to shorten any war, when it may just well may be that his assessment was concerned with the one noted by the stiffly recalcitrant attempt to maintain a thousand feudal lordships across the South, at the expense of the slaves they whipped and brutalized.  (Please do not post any Uncle Tom 'unsolicited' endorsements put out by DAR or Heritage Foundation.)

If the South had had more tough love like they got from Sherman, it would be a better South today.




extremism of the one he considered.

I am crunching the numbers now. Gonna be another day or so, however, in order to enhance the accuracy.

KIcking my ass is not what we are discussing. I am no threat to the welfare of any US citizen.

It is not that I consider rural Southerners to be "dumbass". Au contraire, they are the ones who would LEAST protest their wimmenfolk being drafted, and even they woudl be pissed off.

It is forcing Dixie Lee to go to boot camp and then forcing her to kick the Iraqi's ass, and at the same time forcing her kinfolk to accept this involuntary servitude, that will tend to piss everyone off. If she gets killed, that will REALLY piss them off.

]There will be no Iraq War draft. The ods are 100 to one against this. But the odds are at least 1000 to one against them drafting women into the military.

The entire discussion is utterly moot.

It seems there would have to be a law that, if married with children, only 1 person from that couple could be drafted. That complicates matters a great deal.

We got that law after the incident of the Sullivan brothers.

No need for apologies.  For most of us, this is a second life, and life no. 1 has to come first.

It will probably be all the better for the wait.
