User Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 The Democrats keep trying to sneak this garbage in... "Amends the Military Selective Service Act to require the registration of women for Selective Service." https://www.armed-services.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/fy25_ndaa_executive_summary.pdf For as long as there are able-bodied men to send to war, I staunchly oppose any mandatory registration of women to be 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

They don't have to be combat personnel although there is no reason not to if they want to volunteer for it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyudmila_Pavlichenko 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodad Posted June 17 Report Share Posted June 17 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perspektiv Posted June 17 Report Share Posted June 17 7 hours ago, Aristides said: 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. 7 hours ago, Moonlight Graham said: There's lots of things women can do in the military besides fighting on the front lines. I agree, if they choose to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
