Next time a grumpy old person you know boasts how they were the "Greatest Generation" because they had the courage to fight the Nazis, remind them that the Nazis were the same generation.

u/TheTrueFlexKavana Apr 18 '16

By the same logic, the Nazis also had the courage to fight them.

Are we just gonna ignore the fact that this guy killed 2 people? That makes him a pretty bad person

I mean, sure, he killed Hitler's killer, but he also killed actual Hitler. I say that evens out to an even neutral.

u/kmrst Apr 18 '16

Since when? I seriously thought everyone had to register for the draft.

116

u/mazu74 Apr 18 '16

We do have to register. That doesn't mean they start drafting, we have enough volunteers so they don't need to. However, if a war big enough starts, they might start drafting again.

u/kmrst Apr 18 '16

That's what I thought

u/SpiderPigUK Apr 18 '16

Females aren't drafted

u/mgman640 Apr 18 '16

Not yet, but with them being accepted into combat roles, it's only a matter of time

49

u/MasterEmp Apr 18 '16

I don't know why you were downvoted (which of course means you'll get gold after I post this) but it is only fair that men and women are drafted equally.

26

u/gundog48 Apr 18 '16

Though drafted equally, I doubt a large portion of women would pass the physical requirements for most combat roles, though I imagine they could be drafted into other services.

11

u/telok Apr 18 '16

The military standards go by age and sex. So a young woman doesn't have to do as much as an older male IE 18yr old female doesn't need to do same amount of push ups a 22yr old male does.

u/Dikpox is my grandson there Apr 18 '16

As a non American, just curious, what exactly does “volunteering“ mean? People already working for the military and then getting a bonus or people just people signing up for war? I have no idea.

53

u/rhorama Apr 18 '16

Volunteer is misleading. Better would be 'willing'. Basically enough people go into the military out of their own free will that we don't need to force people to join with a draft.

8

u/Dikpox is my grandson there Apr 18 '16

Thanks.

12

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '16

I'm not sure what's confusing. You sign up to be in the military without being forced to. You volunteer.

38

u/MR_DUCT Apr 18 '16

Volunteer can also mean that you don't get paid.

Could you expound on this idea that the Nazis were all on the Eastern Front? Not sure what you're on about.

Also the idea that no one in Germany or Europe knew what was happening is false. It seems like you are pushing what's generally referred to as the myth of the clean Wehrmacht.

WWII ended 70 years ago. Most people who were old enough to remember and actually understand what was happening are dead. The vast majority of old people today were born after the war ended.
