European Union leaders are discussing a "coalition of the willing" consisting of 30 countries prepared to support a ceasefire in Ukraine. While President Trump insists no U.S. troops will be deployed, Europeans may be forced to consider conscription to man a "tripwire force" on the border. Surveys in Germany show low willingness among youth to take up arms, despite high unemployment making military service a potential career path.

The historical opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment was led by Phyllis Schlafly, who argued that the amendment would strip women of protected status and make them subject to the military draft. Her effective debating style is credited with preventing the amendment's passage in the 1970s and 80s. The current push to revive the ERA faces a different political landscape where many of Schlafly's specific legal concerns have been addressed by other statutes.

A comparison between the 1960s Vietnam War protests and modern gun control movements highlights differences in media manipulation and participant motivation. Unlike the modern movement, Vietnam-era protests were largely driven by the threat of the military draft and faced a pro-war media establishment until figures like Walter Cronkite shifted the narrative. The modern movement is viewed as more top-down and orchestrated by corporate media interests.
