Millions of american men have been forced into working for the military while no woman has ever . been subjected to this blatant slavery. And millions of these male slaves have lost lives or arms or legs or eyes. And all this despite the 13th amendment which bans involuntary servitude except as punishment for a crime.!!
Furthermore this was not 200 years in the past. This was going on just 40 years ago.
They were paid, dingus.
Hmm. They were paid? So, if slaves were provided room and board, they were also paid, were they not? Both were paid, and both were made to, against their will, do something they didn't want to do.
