Maybe we should take their guns away

Despite what the righties here may think, I don't see anything humorous
in this situation, not even "snarkily" humorous. In case you haven't
noticed, the number of service personnel coming home from that war after
extended stays and then getting involved in spouse shootings and
suicides is way up, and this incident surely is part and parcel of that
sort of emotional stress.

It is an issue the military establishment has yet to address properly.


Something like reinstate the draft? Increase the gene pool?


I have no objection to reinstating the draft, so long as the only
exemptions are for serious physical or emotional disabilities.

Women's lib and the draft are incompatable.
Gonna fill half the Army with combat chicks?
Won't ever happen.
