1. Draft males 17 to 30. That seems reasonable.
2. Draft females 17 to 30.
3. Draft healthy males and females 31-50 for non-combat support to relieve more men for combat rolls.
Ridiculous? I don’t think that the possibilities should be ignored.
We are lied to about women not serving in combat, while they ARE indeed. And I predict that once they can get the public to agree to conscripting females, there will then be NO limits to whom may be conscripted for one reason or another.
Personally, I believe that the military should accept voluntary enlistment of older men who can still move around quite handily.
Hey, I’m in my late 40s, but still in good shape. If I could go in place of my son or daughter, I’d do it in a heartbeat. Better me than them.
Just turned 48. I’m not in the greatest physical shape, but I could with time get in better shape. I’d already inquired with an Army recruiter about enlisting, and was told I am too old. If they’d let me, I’d go in place of my son (or even stand with him) in a heartbeat to defend my country and my family. Rangle can go to hell. We don’t need a draft, just people willing to fight for freedom and liberty.
What do you do if these people are parents of young children?
What do you do if these people have mortgages on homes or run businesses?
Do they lose everything to be drafted?
