Definitely. It's probably not too terribly far away a reality of robots dominating the battlefield.I'm thinking roboticdeathstun dogs may be the future of combat, and a human must hold the leash.

Ha.Hmm, sounds like a good thing. Too bad that I am not pro-war. I could almost change my mind.
Balderdash!You wouldn't be free for very long.
Let's just say fighting has to be done sometimes.
There is a danger to that kind of complacency.Balderdash!
Don't drink the Kool Aid.
You can't invade even a weak country if the population is against you -- as Vietnam and Afghanistan have shown.
The US has a weak, disorganized country to the South, a weak, friendly country to the North, and on the East and West -- fishes.
Our only enemies are those we created ourselves. Noöne's going to invade us, we're going to tear ourselves apart from within.
Did you by any chance read Article 1 Section 8 of the ConstitutionLooks straightforward to me.
Perhaps some of them will see it that way.
But I make no predictions about strict constructionists
reading the 13th Amendment's prohibition of involuntary
servitude. Nor do I see the liberals being necessarily
all equal rights for men & women.
That scenario seems less rosy to me.Okay, I would say that the all male draft is clearly un-Constitutional. But there are multiple sides to any story. Let's look at it from an older male pro-war viewpoint. Here are the benefits. We are far more likely to go to war if the military is mostly men. As an older male I would not be subject to the draft. If it was a serious war there would be a lot of women for us undrafted men to choose from. Hmm, sounds like a good thing. Too bad that I am not pro-war. I could almost change my mind.
Well of course. Mrs. Revoltingest carries a high caliber rolling pin I hear. The prospect of a plethora of nubile young women on the market would not be that enticing.That scenario seems less rosy to me.
I've perused it before...enuf to determine that it authorizesDid you by any chance read Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution
From your link.....Interesting information in following link:
Power to Raise and Support an Army: Overview | Constitution Annotated | Congress.gov | Library of Congress
I doubt that any young women would be interested in either of us.Well of course. Mrs. Revoltingest carries a high caliber rolling pin I hear. The prospect of a plethora of nubile young women on the market would not be that enticing.
Let's say that someone is exempted from the draft forAs far as I'm concerned all male or female citizens of the U.S. shoudl be subject to being drafted into the U.S. military subject to certain exemptions such as health.
So, your saying that if they are blind, and received a exemption, they should be subject to the same consequences you gave?Let's say that someone is exempted from the draft for
health reasons, eg, Biden's asthma, Trump's bone spurs.
If they're spared military service, shouldn't they have
to pay compensation for this privilege of avoiding the
inconvenience & risk of serving in the military?
They could pay money or spend a couple years
picking up trash along the highway.
I usually don't answer a question with a question, but what wage would you have accepted to join the military during Vietnam?But why not simply pay such a great wage that
enuf soldiers would volunteer? That's fair.
Some consequences for escaping the obligation imposedSo, your saying that if they are blind, and received a exemption, they should be subject to the same consequences you gave?
I wouldn't have.I usually don't answer a question with a question, but what wage would you have accepted to join the military during Vietnam?
As long as someone is given an exemption then everyone with the exact same reason for the exemption should also be granted the exemption, then no harm no foul. However, if that is not done then we have a problem.Some consequences for escaping the obligation imposed
upon everyone else. To have a liability waived, is to receive
something of value. Not being drafted is of great value.
Let the beneficiary compensate those denied that benefit.
Point taken.I wouldn't have.
Aside from opposing the draft & not being military material,
I opposed the war.
BTW, you're just asking a question....no problem at all.
I don't feel any such obligation to serve.As long as someone is given an exemption then everyone with the exact same reason for the exemption should also be granted the exemption, then no harm no foul. However, if that is not done then we have a problem.
Point taken.
However, it may just be my upbringing but I consider it an obligation to serve your country when asked to do so.
I may or may not agree with the reason for using the military but I would go if asked to and IMO everyone not given an exemption (conditions in above must be met) should also do so.
Just wondering if you would have felt that way in 1941?I don't feel any such obligation to serve.
I'd have felt no obligation then too.Just wondering if you would have felt that way in 1941?
