i will continue to ponder on your last entry. My immediate response is No there is no current draft here in the U.S, but there is a draft age so your point on that appears to be not relevant to my statement. And since the National Guard was called up and fought in both the Afghan and Iraq war that age is only 17. Young enough to lose your life but not old enough to make a critical decision in your life? i ask you to think about our nations leaders. They made the decision. Not me. They can make decisions on a young mans life and feel that they should but then they do not not feel that the same men or women should be able to make other serious and at times moral decisions? Sounds a bit hypocritical and definitely not consistent thinking.
To join the National Guard without prior service, you must meet these mandatory requirements:
Be between the ages of 17 and 35
Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
Be at least a junior in high school, or have a high school diploma or a GED certificate
Achieve a minimum score on the ASVAB test
Meet medical, physical and moral requirements
For full requirements, apply now and speak to a National Guard recruiter.
Unfortunately, when i went to school there was no sex education at all, so you see that is one reason the human race is multiplying like rats. The more transgenders there are the less people. That is the good side of the story! As far as a proper education in the future or presently, i am not in charge of that but i certainly - with out any doubt - do not want the far right to be making those kind of decisions and having them enforce their laws on women as they are all over this nation today. Because of far right presidents who think it is their duty to decide the morality of people in our nation by appointing stringent court appointees and justices to administer their morality.... while at the same time cutting funds to help those who have had to live lives forced on them from the conservative element of society. Didn't God give us free will to make our own decisions? That is what we are taught by the Masters. But there seems to be an element in society that want to play God and force others to play by their rules. In this nation today and even more so in other nations we have these people that want to set up this 'family morality' and having large families that multiply like locusts. It just isn't working mccoy. Mother Earth is under a heavy burden from our invasive species. The Catholic Church is one of the worst culprits for this. The far right have taken a very destructive view to destroy our earth with Population Explosion. Especially with many, if not most of them, wanting to close down Planned Parenthood in the U.S.
I am of the opinion that if a man or woman is able to be drafted in the army they should be able to make their own decisions about their body and not be coerced by any political ideologies
Now Steve, please put up with my linguistic and conceptual maybe excessive fastidiousness. The following must be read in this key of punctiliousness.
I'll translate your words if I construed them correctly:
if a person is mature enough to be drafted, he or she should be mature enough to make a decision about changing sex, without coercion from political ideologies.If my interpretation is right, that appears not to be a very germane answer to my points.
That is, I was specifically referring to the influence some political ideologies, in particular the parties which are calling themselves 'left', 'democrats', progressist' and so on, are trying to exert on very young boys, not able yet to be drafted. By the way, the draft no more exists in America or in Italy.
Besides, your point is maybe a so-called
non-sequitur. That is , people may be old enough to go to the army, yet not mature enough to be able to make a correct choice, socially, psychologically, practically or karmically speaking, about their sexual identity.
Moreover, in most Western countries there is absolute freedom about one's choice, provided a panel of specialists (among which psychiatrists and psychologists) issues a positive judgment on the issue.
The derangement of this system is pushing the specialists to give a positive assent notwithstanding factors such as being of too young an age, otherwise, they are ostracized, banned from the profession and else. I know this is happening in America and in Canada and is a system even self-proclaimed convinced democrats like the internet influencer Joe Rogan have denounced as deranged.
This system has been widely denounced by the famous Canadian professor and internet influencer Jordan Petersen, whose strict adherence to logic I admire.
