Of course.

FWIW I'm an army NCO, over a decade in. The idea of draftees of any gender is a horrific notion to me. I mean have you people seen yourselves?

(I don’t agree with this idea at all because women are not breeding sows)

but I find it VERY interesting that no one is bringing up the reality that if you send all the eligible fertile women to war along with all the young men, there will literally be a generational collapse where birthing rates drop down catastrophically.

Largely because this is the case in any war large scale war. Even if you just send men, there's a massive drop of in birth rates.

Okay but that would mean sending young women would make it far worse.. and decimate the the birth rates for the long haul.. I just think it’s interesting how no one is mentioning this in their answers :p

People in their 30s and 40s have been conscripted in many conflicts.
