[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's so easy to "give up" these kids when you're not poor.

First of all, as one PP said, men and women volunteer to join, which means that they're (hopefully) aware of the challenges they'll face.  Forcing kids into the military is a different story, as many have NO desire to join.

In fact, many of those who are "recruited" have no desire to join.  There was an article written years ago that mentioned that 44% of recruits come from rural areas that are poor.  Therefore, they do it b/c they can't find jobs and they have few skills to get them through life.

If this is your idea of keeping the country safe - being reactive by throwing these kids into dangerous situations - then volunteer your own child instead of encouraging him/her to attend college.

The hypocrisy and ignorance is unbelievable.  [/quote]

Debating the merits of the draft is one thing. However as it stands, if the possibility is that young men may have to join, young women will have to join too.

Concerns of pregnancy aside, I don't think that issue is a major barrier to the draft. Pregnant women can still work in many capacities. [/quote]
