If the draft were resumed in the U.S., few would be in favor of shedding American blood in a war of alleged altruism.

What a horrific thought: return of the draft. Ending it is one of Nixon’s greatest — perhaps the greatest — accomplishments. Altruism is the root of all evil.

Speaking of the draft, I've never heard of any "feminist" demanding that women be required to register for Selective Service as men are at age 18 — or that the requirement be abolished.

Neither have I, Leigh.

That said, I’ve not read (or heard) a single feminist denounce the ways, means and treatment of women in societies and countries dictated or dominated by religion, i.e., Islam.
