No one cares what you "staunchly oppose."

If the draft is imposed in the future.

If you post a bunch of threads daily on a similar topic (Trump) it's not unreasonable to listen to the opinions of others.

They can do it in the military when you get drafted. Just because they might be drafted doesn’t mean it would be for a combat role. That could be voluntary but there are a lot of other jobs they could do which would free up men for other tasks. I see no real reason to exempt women other than men’s egos.

Are you this ignorant about what the selective service is for?

He is free to staunchly oppose entirely imaginary allegations. Like exemptions for Democrats on the Alien Lizard Overlord's food menu.

There is nothing imaginary here. I provided you with a source. 

Are you and some other liberals on here really this adamantly opposed to engaging honestly on this forum?

Are you ignorant that it's 2024 and expecting women to be exempted is as abhorrent as segregated units used to be?

You provided a source that imagined the scenario, one who also thinks like it's 1953. You fell for the BS, not me. And even posted it with an inflammatory headline as if it was news.

The Democrats keep trying to sneak this garbage in...

"Amends the Military Selective Service Act to require the registration of women for Selective Service."

For as long as there are able-bodied men to send to war, I staunchly oppose any mandatory registration of women to be drafted. 

 

29 pages and that’s all you have to say.  
 

We’ve had draft registration since 1978.  Why is it a problem to register women as well as men, when the likelihood of a draft is nearly zero?

I have no idea what you are talking about regarding 29 pages. 

If the likelihood of a draft is nearly zero, why do we need to register women?

I provided a link to the Fiscal Year 2025 National Defense Authorization Act Executive Summary. It was not imagining any scenario. 

What is wrong with you?

Stating mere opposition is NOT an OPINION, because it lacks REASON.

I staunchly oppose posts which contain NO REASON. LMAO

They don't have to be combat personnel although there is no reason not to if they want to volunteer for it.

During WW2, millions of women served in the military doing vital jobs. As a matter of fact, their ability to multitask, organize and attention to detail made them superior to men in many jobs.

Like code breaking, analyzing aerial photographs, delivering new aircraft from the factory to squadrons. Some female British pilots were checked out on dozens of types from fighters to heavy bombers. All kinds of jobs if you bother to look it up instead of making stupid sexist comments

It's 2024. We can wage war by wire--partially if not wholly--in most scenarios. Most service personnel are not assigned to combat roles anyway. 

No reason not to do this.

Glad to hear it.

I tested the wife with a sexist joke early in our relationship. 

She noted it was hard to get me mad, so I told her it was because she had never made a sandwich incorrectly for me.

She laughed, but because she knew I wasn't a huge fan of sandwiches, as well as the fact that I always make her breakfast and lunches and don't believe in gender roles.

It was a d*mb joke, but to get offended when it clearly has no basis, is reaching and seeking to get offended at everything.

It tells me right away, one has a high IQ and doesn't take life too seriously.

Its also the lack of entitlement that tells one they are entitled never to get offended.

I agree,  if they choose to do so.

Sure... why do we need to draft them to do them though?

Unless one is interested in basic equity, fairness, and doubling a potential draft pool.
