Props to President Obama...

Today the White House reversed their position and are supporting women registering with selective service. This is long overdue. If women are going to be allowed into "prime" rolls in the military such as fighter pilots and ship command then they need to have access the all roles. And if they are going to have access to all roles then they should be required to register with selective service.

[Mikey]

Agreed. Now what they need to do is institute mandatory service, or at least require a minimum percentage of the armed forces to be draftees with no exemptions for rich kids, during combat actions.
That would reduce the chances of getting into any ridiculous unsinkable quagmires.

[Screw_Michigan]

Wow, this might be the first time in T1B or bbs history that we ALL agree with each other.

If I'm correct, Duncan Hunter proposed this during markup, and Obama and Ash Carter through a big hissy fit over during campaign season. Then once the election ends (and Hillary loses), they conveniently reverse course and support the requirement.

Pieces of fucking shit.

[Left Seater]

I think that is correct. At least he finally got to the correct position.

Bunch of war mongers is what you fucks are. Just pile up the bodies and ready them for destruction.

What a freaking reach Sale. How are you getting anyone who posted here wants more war?

Hiliary was the war monger. She wanted regime change all over the world and was prepared to topple foreign governments at the expense of American lives. She also wants to shoot down Russian Jets in Syria. You should thank your lucky stars Trump won, unless you too want to start WWIII just like Hitlery Clinton!

You want war or you would need soldiers.

Glad your orange kid fucking joke is going after the MIC. Good for him.

Interesting take. So are you a war monger, or are you calling for the elimination of the military?

Neville Chamberlain would be proud of you.

Pretty much just the opposite actually. Where's your reading comprehension?

So no military for us. How long before we are invaded post eliminating the military?

[Moving Sale]

I can read just fine. You want to (probably) reduce the possibility of war. If you ate not a war monger you are one shade off.

Why would you want to get rid of the military? Wouldn't that lead us open to invasion?

[Left Seater]

The military is soldiers.

[Moving Sale]

So the military isn't tank or planes or bullets. You are an idiot.

[Left Seater]

Somehow I figured this is where you were going. Again quite the stretch.

We should get rid of soldiers since that is war mongering, but keep the military so we don't get invaded. That may be one of the 10 dumbest things I have read on this board.

Yeah keep the hardware but get rid of all the soldiers.

[Moving Sale]

Why is it so dumb? The hardware is used by Americans if needed. A standing army for no reason will lead to a reason to use them.

A standing army prevents other countries from getting the idea of invading.

[Dinsdale]

So, when our country got attacked in 2001, we fired off that selective service and started drafting people willy-nilly. Am I remembering that right? All those new enlistees were drafted, right?

How about we err on the side of freedom, and do away with registration for everyone? (Probably save a few bucks in the process.)


I'd love to see the Standing Army (I forget what the Federalist Papers/Founders said about them... something about "use it or lose it," or some such shit) reduced to almost nil, while staying ahead on technology.

Which country is planning on invading?

Side note -- the USA has been bombed from (not "by") a plane exactly once. Brookings, Oregon (nowheresville, South Coast, just north of the California border... amazing town, all old people), 1942. Nobuo Fujita was the guy in charge. His name came up in a local article (real Oregonians know who he is). Fascinating man and story. In a nutshell, he tried to burn Oregon down with firebombs to open a path for invasion (or the threat of invasion to divert Navy forces back towards our own coast). Unfortunately for him, his plan came to fruition right after a rare summer rainstorm, so the massive forest fire kinda fizzled. They also tried to come up the Columbia River (likely as another distraction). They also did the same shit at Pacific City, or thereabouts... until the old codger WWI vets who were too old to go to war saw them coming, and started lobbing rounds from their 30-30's at the invaders offshore, and created an impenetrable wall of lead (there's a Springfield Rifle Museum in Tillamook to commemorate their deed).

WAR -- little known history. Nobuo Fujita's story is fascinating, and worth checking out. Dude came to Brookings after the war to apologize, and brought a family heirloom as a gift.



Wow, there's a tangent. A recent news story reminded me of all that old history that I'm sure they don't teach anymore.

Did you write the Federalist Papers, or just read them and pay attention?

A couple of those guys were pretty smart.

A standing army involves massive public money. What follows massive amounts of public money?

Scum, that's what follows.


Star Chamber some fuckers, and let's see how much grifting is worth to them. I'd bet some Raytheon lobbyists might find a new line of work.

So when tanks start landing on the shores of CA, do we then go check out tanks from our local storage facility and also get our ration of bullets and M-16s? Do we have to take a class before checking one out or do we just read the manual on the fly?

[Dinsdale]

By then it would be too late, dumbfuck.

Surely, even for a fake "pilot" and a total weaselly bitch, this is a new low. Indeed, we'll quickly be invaded if we scale down the biggest military machine in the history of the known universe. And...who's going to invade us? Yeah, as usual, being a total fraud, you've got nothing.

As for who wants war, how about the number one loon in the Military Industrial Complex?
