It’s 3 and a half years, people, not forever. Don’t get your hair in a knot. Assuming the DNC does not engender a perfect screw-up, like last time…. this will likely change. You could start a law suit over it. This would waste a lot of resources, ones best used elsewhere. It will affect the working poor. more than anyone. And by the time, the lawsuit gets done with, it will be Nov. 2020. And the lawyers will be rich!
I have to laugh, because when I was young, people were fighting NOT to get drafted, and to not get sent off to one of Uncle Sam’s all too many wars. Indeed, a number of USAnians ended up here in Northern Ontario, and became very good citizens. One, Mick Lowe, was a noted reporter. I myself, could have been drafted, from back in Phx. But my dad got “c”, and we ended back up North.
It is simple, the USA needs more wars, and it needs them right now. It may get it’s need, tho…. and then, the gays, lesbians, transes, and multiple personalities, will ALL be all upset anyway. They will be called up to go fight, in some dammed Jungle. (Ruby, don’t take your love to town.)
So will the “naturally gendered” people. I have no idea what a “cis” is. I do not need a sex-title. I’m male, white over 21, a member of the working class, and yes everything that has gone wrong in the world, dating back to Troy, is my fault. Say thanks. But we got you here. But the two natural sexes, are male and female. If you require something else, well, you are out of the norm. But you may have it. In private. Just like I do mine. And thankfully, now matter how bad politicians screw up, I am too old to go fight. And in too bad health. I will thankfully be out of this tired, old, crazy, world in a few years. I’m looking forward to it!
But note: When the USA gets more wars (which it needs to keep the economy going), well, women will have no trouble becoming welders, Rosie riveters, WACS, nurses, and soldiers…. (Maybe!) Be careful what you wish for, you may get it. “Curious how often you Humans manage to obtain that which you do not want.” — SPOCK.

No, Trump is not the best. Yes, you disagree with him. And that is your right. But per the Constitution, he is CIC. So he does get to do these things. I am sure, no doubt, that had his opponent (any of his opponents) won, you likely would be seeing things (other things) said, done, proposed, planned — whatever — that you would not like. That’s the nature of things.
I am sure, however, that the USA armed forces, small and puny as they are, will manage for now, without these fine people. It is less than 3% of the population. I realize things are rather desperate down there, for everyone. But Rosie, can still raise her kids, without having to go off welding tanks together — for now. Be glad of that Rosie. Many have not had that privilege.
There are far worse things, than not being in the army now, and not behind the plow. And think! You get to stay home, in peace, and invent that new “App”, and become fabulously rich. This beats going off to fight in Northern Europe, a jungle, a dessert, a desert, or Afghanistan, or Wherever, and on a Sunday to boot. (Bad pun intended.)
And in 3.5 years, well, you too, can join my late friend Peter Hall. He went to Nam. He is lucky, he got back, mostly in one piece. But the chemicals and such that he had been exposed to, eventually took his health away. Today, they have even more fun stuff: Depleted Uranium Bullets.
Here is a small suggestion: Give Peace a Chance.
