What about WWII, was the draft justified then? What about cases of last ditch defense against an attacker who unjustly seeks to destroy the nation?bobevenson wrote:Congress is now considering forcing women to register for selective service (the military draft system) under penalty of law instead of eliminating selective service all together.

Slavery is never justified under any circumstances. The reason certain people are subjected to this type of slavery is that the rest of us would rather loll on the beach than pay the fair-market price to hire soldiers in wartime.Gary Childress wrote:What about WWII, was the draft justified then?

I should have figured somewhere along the line libertarian politics and economic principles would factor into this. Everything has a price.

Since other countries do it or have done it, the US has no monopoly in this area (nor will - in fact the US did this before in WWII with the WACs). And you can't call it slavery because besides pay, there would be food and lodging and other benefits if you want to compare it with civilian life. And how would the women be treated under the AEP you hypocrite?bobevenson wrote:Congress is now considering forcing women to register for selective service (the military draft system) under penalty of law instead of eliminating selective service all together.

Look who's talking, the Arising_UK evader who's unable to answer his questions.

Well, Bob. Let's put it this way:bobevenson wrote:Can I properly assume you have no problem with slavery?Gary Childress wrote:I should have figured somewhere along the line libertarian politics and economic principles would factor into this. Everything has a price. Victory to the highest bidder.
Bob, I have (as have others) asked questions of you before and you have ignored them. Therefore I really don't see why I should feel "guilted" into answering any more of your deluded nonsense. When you satisfactorily answer my question posed above, I will answer yours.bobevenson wrote:You seem to have a problem answering my simple question, so I assume you have no problem with slavery, which is what drafting law-abiding citizens into the military is.
Fair enough, Bob. In that case, I am against "slavery" under most all circumstances except the most dire.bobevenson wrote:Sorry, the subject of this thread is about U.S. government-sanctioned slavery of a military draft. If you don't care to comment, OK, but please stick to the subject.
And you always have a problem answering Arising_UK's simple questions so he's right to assume you're an absolute fool.bobevenson wrote:You seem to have a problem answering my simple question, so I assume you have no problem with slavery, which is what drafting law-abiding citizens into the military is.
