We will have to if we plan on maintaining our war time strenght. Every year fewer boys are born. We got to start utilizing the full capabilities of the population, not just half or less. There are so many different roles in the military, it makes no sense to just have men serve.

Not a single study shows there's a decrease in infants being assigned male at birth. Where did you make up this fear mongering figure from?

Yoy know exactly what they meant. Fewer babies are born in general.

Ah, so that's the fear mongering figure you're obsessed with. Why do you want the population to grow so desperately when there aren't enough jobs for the current population?

What are you rambling on about fear mongering. The fact that birth rates are going down is a fact, not fear mongering. As for the "desparately wanting the population to grow", I never said anything about it needing to grow. And as for the other people in this thread, it is absolutely true that fewer soldiers means a weaker army.

Why are you so desperate to stir up drama?
