During WWII, the USA was on the verge of drafting women. In an invasion of Japan, the USA would have had a severe enough shortage of nurses, that they would have had to draft female nurses. Obviously, the invasion of Japan never happened, with Japan surrendering before it could.

If 80 years ago, they were willing to accept a draft of women, to get the soldiers they absolutely needed, why are we against it now?

It's a good thing the invasion of Japan was avoided, do you agree?

“ WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court is being asked to decide whether it’s sex discrimination for the government to require only men to register for the draft when they turn 18.”

“The registration requirement is one of the few remaining places where federal law treats men and women differently, and women’s groups are among those arguing that allowing it to stand is harmful.”

“Men who do not register can lose eligibility for student loans and civil service jobs, and failing to register is also a felony punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and five years in prison.”

“The last time the high court considered the Military Selective Service Act, then-Justice William Rehnquist explained that the purpose of registration “was to prepare for a draft of combat troops.” He said that because women could not serve in combat, the law was not unlawful sex discrimination that violated the Constitution.”

Seems like it should be a no brainer, but it is the Robert’s Court

Personally speaking, as sexist as it sounds, when I was in the service, we used to talk, which is something you always have time to do in the service, if the order came to fix bayonets, who would you want standing next to you in the trenches

Whoever was better at hitting the target and paying attention is who I would want to be there with me.
 
Except for WWII, our winning record with a conscripted military isn't fabulous....broads or no broads.

This supposition appears no place in my post.
And it's also irrelevant to the topic.
STY, you have serious comprehension problems.

An invasion of Japan would have been very bad for America, and Japan.

One fact that many forget is that the USSR had already taken over Manchuria, and half of Korea. They were going to invade Japan also, and then Japan would have been divided like Germany.

You are just plain wrong. We still have the Selective Service System. I had to register for the draft, back in 1989. Almost certainly, my son will have to register for the draft in 2029. The question is whether my daughter will have to register for the draft or not.

What confuses you is that we draft zero people a year, but the draft system is still there (local draft boards, local draft doctors, etc.). If next year, Congress decides to draft a million people, then a million people will be drafted immediately.

I was talking about the draft ... and yes ... 100+ years later there is NO rational answer

BTW ... My grandfather (with six kids at the time) was standing on the train station platform (after being drafted) ready to be shipped off to boot camp on 11 Nov 1918.

You think those local draft boards and draft doctors keep busy?
