    They already make us (is it makes only?) sign up for the draft

    One of the first things that pushed me hard to the left.

    Also having empathy.

      The draft is not conceptually bad. In the case of a national emergency, like Ukraine has had, having the organization for a draft ready if needed is a positive.

        Male is doing some pretty sexist work in this comment.

          It’s correct, though. The US does not register women in the Selective Service. They’re certainly able to join the military, but they are not counted in what human assets are available in a potential emergency.

            Correct, but the idea that the draft is a good thing because it counts the “able bodied fighting age men” is weird and sexist.
