How about we just don’t fight stupid wars? There hasn’t been a real need for a draft in America since the civil war (in the sense that America was not plausibly threatened by the world wars, Korea, Vietnam, etc).
replyAmericans during WWII thought it was a fight for national survival, starting with the shock of Pearl Harbor. Isolationishm turned to intervention in the "Good War." I won't defend any war after that...
reply> Americans during WWII thought it was a fight for national survival
replyRight, they did. But in retrospect, was it actually?
If the US had stayed neutral from the beginning, do we think Japan would have bombed America's military base?
Wars are part of nature. It is inevitable. So your proposition is based on wrong assumptions.
reply> Especially since women have largely abandoned their traditional duties and still kinda expect men to hold their end of the bargain.
replyAs far as I see, women still birth and raise children and take care of most of the household; they just also work in the addition. Don't know what you're talking about.
Birth rates among liberal women in almost all developed societies suggest otherwise. Women are doing double duty and doing both badly. Women are relatively and absolutely less happier than they were 50 years ago. So I'm having hard time believing that this new norm is a win for anyone.
replyManoshpere much ?
replyThe whole comment section here makes me sad. Rightoid paradise very similar to Youtube comments. I wonder when HN starts openly talking about "joos", "big noses" and "getting rid of certain minorities".
replyIf society enforces men's roles using the law and you're fine with it, don't come complaining when it does the same for women.
