    I would love to see the maneuvering some of the folks on this site would have done to avoid a post 9/11 draft.

    That being said, I appreciate the largely symbolic gesture of the ruling.

    I would have gone to Canada to avoid the draft but I couldn't find the time with all the deployments I did........
    In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.

    Who says they need to be in a combat role? They are plenty of pogue positions they can do.

    This is excellent indeed, equality is what they asked for, equality is what they get. Now you can dig latrines like the rest of us.

    Go watch Stripes again. When Cruiser is asked why he joined the army.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    I'm opposed to compulsory military service unless we are actually being invaded and defending home ground.

    Additionally, at the time I was working my ass off to pay for my house and take care of my loved ones, that would have been impossible on Army pay. Now if they want to shitcan the Dick Act and restore the Constitutional "militia" I'll be glad to do my part as a US citizen.

    There will be another war and another draft because one half of the country would never serve on their volition.
