Poll: As Conservative, Plain Mennonites, what sort of government is currently a bigger threat?

Not silly to me. I would not like to see (for example) my wife drafted to go fight the Russians or the Chinese, which seems to be the direction our country is headed in.

Feel free to live in fear of your wife drafted into the marines if you want. Most of us choose to be concerned about less imaginary things.

Selective Service told us to be very clear that future drafts could involve women and being married or a mother is not grounds for being exempt.

I do not consider war an “imaginary” thing. Amongst our brethren in Ukraine, they are all having to flee the country to avoid a draft, or else stay in hiding.

Selective service is a useless joke of an agency where they dump the most incompetent political appointees so they can do no damage. And nothing they tell you is useful anyway since any new draft would have to be authorized by Congress and those details would most certainly not be up to the Selective Service. Plus, the last thing the Pentagon would ever want to deal with is a military draft. They want drones and missiles and capital ships, not draftees.
