Re: “camel nose under the tent”
Film director Milos Foreman lived under Nazis and Communists in Czechoslovakia, and tells how they declared war on pornographers and perverts. Everyone applauded: who wants perverts running through the streets? But then, suddenly, Jesus Christ was a pervert, Shakespeare was a pervert, Hemingway was a pervert. It always starts with pornographers to open the door a little, but then the door is opened wide for all kinds of persecution.
Unaccountably Forman reacts negatively when the word “socialist” is tossed around by Newt Gingrich, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and others. President Barack Obama, they warn, is a socialist.
These critics cry, “Obamacare is socialism!” They falsely equate Western European-style socialism, and its government provision of social insurance and health care, with Marxist-Leninist totalitarianism.
Mr Foreman, this is the “camel nose under the tent”
Dream on.
It will take weeks if not months to put in place the needed infrastructure.
I will remind you that on Sept 13, 1940 (before the US was at war or attacked) the law was passed requiring men to register. Even then, more than 5 million potential draftees were rejected for medical, educational, or mental reasons. All of those inductees / potential draftees had to have records created, examination, deferral paperwork etc. Future wars will up upon us with unprecedented speed. Time spent putting a law together, passing through congress, putting a system to accept registrations, conducting a draft, making a determination of deferments and tracking all this paperwork will not happen overnight or in a week.

***Dream on about calling this “infrastructure”. It hasn’t been used since 1975. I worked with one of the most powerful politicians on the planet to change one minor rule with this ridiculous bureaucracy and she couldn’t get it done. YOu’re the dreamer here.

***LONG before my time. We haven’t needed a draft since 12 years after that, and it is arguable we didn’t need a draft at that time.
(before the US was at war or attacked) the law was passed requiring men to register.
***Standard POTO — Pointing Out The Obvious.
Even then, more than 5 million potential draftees were rejected for medical, educational, or mental reasons.
***Yeah huh, and today they are restricting it even further with an all-volunteer army that hasn’t had any trouble meeting its recruitment goals for 2 decades.
All of those inductees / potential draftees had to have records created, examination, deferral paperwork etc.
***You’re going all the way back to bullshiite 1940. My argument begins in my time, the Vietnam war. And you are notably silent on that, because you aint got a leg to stand on so you have to go all the way back to 1940 bullshiite.
Future wars will up upon us with unprecedented speed.
***The Selective Service is in no position to meet that demand you seem to want to place.
Time spent putting a law together, passing through congress, putting a system to accept registrations, conducting a draft, making a determination of deferments and tracking all this paperwork will not happen overnight or in a week.
***It didn’t even work during the 1970s. They’ve had 5 decades to improve and they can’t. They are simply bureaucrats. They can’t even beat the board of a single guy with a computer and everyone’s social security number.
Follow-on to 13.
How an educational system that was the envy of the world is now advocating the elimination of grades and standardized tests in the name of “equity.”

“Women should be drafted. There are many non-combat roles that can be filled by women and allow men to fill those combat roles. Admin, medical, logistics, and many others can be filled by women.”
First, That is illegal. No MOS is forbidden to women. They can, do, and will put women in combat arms.
Second, It also sucks to be a male and constantly have to deploy because women soak up all the spots in the rear.
Find a Navy Corpsman and ask him how fun it is to go from one rotation in the fleet on ship after another, or one tour with the USMC grunts after another because every single shore billet is hogged out by females.
Yes it is. Unless you believe young women and men are exactly the same and should use the same restroom.
I’m not pushing anything.
If women want in, they should have to do the same things as any man.
No one is forcing women in the Air Force or Navy to go to flight school and fly fighter jets.
No one put a gun to this Captain’s head to join the Army, get a commission, go to Ranger school and become a Ranger Company Commander......
I’m not saying I agree with it. I’m not saying they belong is certain MOSs. But, if that’s what they want, then they should get the full monty.
A dementia addled old man was declared President and is being run by the Chinese communist party.
Well Captain, just because some woke women and dykes want male military roles, it does not follow that ALL of America’s normal young Christian women should be forced into involuntary servitude in a military where communists, atheists, trannies and homos run things.
It’s part of the homo agenda to destroy the family by stealing the years that some women want to use to build a life and a family.
And if you were a Ranger, they have fallen further than I thought if you think women should be forced into it. I guess females easily pass ranger school these days, so maybe that’s why you think that?
If you really are/were an 0-3, then you are well aware that no MOS is segregated by sex anymore, so your idea they can be used as typists and medics and mechanics is moot. Also, even if it was allowed, that only screws males with endless deployments and never any tours that let them be at home for a couple of years between floats.
” Second, as we used to say in the Infantry, embrace the suck.”
Yeah, Pelosi loves that saying. You can embrace the suck all you want. But you don’t get to embrace the suck for decent normal Christian girls who want to build a family and be feminine. It’s childish logic to say “some women have decided to try to be men, so we are going to punish the traditional females that don’t want that life by forcing them into involuntary servitude”.
If you dont want Pelosi to dictate the terms of service, vote her out and change the laws.
Are you capable of reading?
Where did I say anything about anyone being forced to do anything?you’re a moron.
No one forced this 37yr old mother to go to Ranger school….. https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2015/10/16/3rd-woman-and-1st-female-reservist-dons-ranger-tab/
No one is forced to even register for the draft anymore.
I never said I was an O3 or a Ranger.
You’re so emotional that you can’t even read.
The draft may as well be non existent. It’s nothing but symbolic at this point although I did register on my 18th birthday.
This country will NEVER institute it and even if they did, anyone that doesn’t want to show up, won’t. Hell, short of committing something serious, folks don’t even get dishonorable discharges anymore.
It must drive you more insane than you already are that a woman graduated the Course

Your high and right must be on fire right now.
