Furthermore, American men aren’t exactly swaggering images of John Wayne these days. They’re none too happy to send their women to war, and that speaks volumes about the decrepit state of the nation.

I don't think that the author understands the actual meaning of that phrase. From the context, I'd say that he actually intends to say the exact opposite.

Regards,

Idont like it, i would vote against it.

But the libtard uniparty wants it so they are getting it.

They will discover they do not want it.

They will eventually agree with us and prefer to just sacrifice our boys for stupid non national security mega corporation reasons.

All our ENEMIES have to do to beat us in a war is draw a line in chalk.

The ridiculous spectacle of rescued POW Pfc. Jessica Lynch, the feisty, ballyhooed warrior of the Army’s 507th Maintenance Company, which was butchered early on in Iraq, occasioned the usual war whoops. Yet no one asked a simple question: What in heaven’s name was a hundred-pound girl, barely out of pigtails and high school, doing in a combat zone?

The Israel Defense Forces uses women in almost every capacity. There is even a mainly female combat brigade called “Bardalas (cheetah); along the Egyptian-Israeli border. Women are heavily used as combat instructors but when push comes to shove, the infantry used in ground operations is almost always 100% men - women are right there though, in the thick of it as well...

The only US Army soldier who got a Bronze Star for being cold cocked in a truck wreck, Jessica Lynch. My uncle got a WWII Service Medal only for landing on Omaha Beach with the 5th Engineering Bde! Where was his BSM?

“What kind of nation subjects mothers, daughters, wives and sisters to a military draft where they could be placed in a direct ground combat unit?”

The same one that gives them the vote while subjecting men to a draft.

Pick one. Either the people that complain about females in a draft show some real bravado and start demanding that women’s suffrage gets yanked or these special dumplings can share in signing up like the guys.

Like why the hell should a female have the rewards and none of the responsibilities?

I missed the Vietnam draft by a couple years, instead volunteered for the Navy in ‘79. If we are going to register and have a draft, it should be equal. Period. If a woman can be president, why can’t she be drafted? Fair is fair.

Only a nation that is devoid of love for women. The Israelis tried this years ago. It was a failure not due to the bravery of the women but the horrors of those captured. They do not do this anymore.

Women in Israel are in the thick of battle because the realities of war in Israel make women being in the thick of things unavoidable.

Israel has set up its female battle groups with just enough men to do the heavy lifting

"Amazon Nation"

No; more like "Fruit Nation" where the men have mostly decided to become women.

Real men never let the ladies do the fighting for them.

"If a woman can be president, why can’t she be drafted? Fair is fair."

An intensely cowardly and stupid statement. Infantry combat is nowhere near any other activity on Earth - even a sailor ought to know that.

Any "man" who would have women drafted is too gutless to have the title.
