1) I'd rather we do away with the draft altogether

2) Every time I see our country's military budget, I'm just filled with despair.

These dumb bitches, when women receive equal pay and are equal in all other sectors of American life then we can talk about drafting women

I mean, yeah it's fair, but how about abolishing the draft all together?

[moonshaz]

As long as there is such a thing as the draft, it should include everyone. But I have a problem with the fact that we still have a draft at all. Among other things, just how much is it costing the country to maintain this registry that we don't even fucking need?

But yeah, as long as we have it, it's really archaic to not include women.

question:
What if a woman gets/is pregnant?

I know men had the *shoot one in the foot* get outta draft card, but will pregnancy be the one for women?..

If a woman in the military gets pregnant, they give her the option to discharge. I assume it'd be the same if they were drafted... but then again, if it was a draft situation maybe they'd change the rules? I'm not sure.
