What’s left on the insanity list? I think they’ve checked off every box.
Obama the evil SOB. He has found a way to remove the only legal obstacle to requiring women to be drafted.
The last federal court ruling on why women are not subject to the draft is because women were prohibited by federal law from the combat positions that were mostly being drafted for.
I will not turn my daughter over to the sodomites running our government and military. -Under no circumstances-. And daughter being sent into infantry combat is utterly depraved. FUBO marxist plant usurper.
Should be an interesting reaction to see the first female that has to hump an 81 mm baseplate strapped to her pack for 20 miles....
This is meant by 0bama to get the country to hate the military...not just the Fiat and Volvo drivers, but the rest of the country.
I think it’ll ultimately be a wash, because few women will volunteer from infantry front-line duty. However... for those who do, not a single standard should be lowered in training to ease the path for them. Whatever their male counterparts must accomplish, so must they.
1. Women should have to register for the draft if they truly want to be equal;
2. Women can be as effective as men in aerial combat. They are very dextrous. So let them die in a dog-fight or an RPG hit the helo;
3. If they are to be assigned ground infantry, they should have NO special quarters nor other facilities. They want to be grunts, then they "shit, shower, and shave" the same place as men;
4. NO excuses for their menstrual cycles as in PMS;
5. Must be able to complete "basic training" within the same requirements of men if they want to be grunts;
6. If they get pregnant, then a "less than honorable discharge". No more re-assignment while the men take up the slack;
7. Train the men to deal with a woman dying/wounded in ground combat and Triage the worst wounded first. No exceptions;
8. Any woman who dies/wounded in combat gets the same honors as a man;
9. If in a fire fight and they can't carry a wounded man out when having the opportunity, they are to be discharged. No exceptions;
10. ANY sexual contact with either sex in a combat zone, they should be discharged. Same with men;
11. ABSOLUTELY NO women on submarines! Talk about pregnancy just waiting to happen;
12. Train them to stop being so sensitive about perceived sexual harassment;
13. Stop letting them in to our elite forces, only to "ring out", as the only 2 trainees just did in the Rangers, I believe.
Here's my experience with female sailors back around the early 1980's:
Our Frigate was tied up outside a tender (support ship) before women were allowed on combat vessels. While in line on the tender to await the liberty boats, a male sailor just happened to say how nice a female looked from the tender. Next thing I saw was him being pulled out of line by a female CPO for harassment. Not sure what happened to him, but it was indicative of things to come.
They want ground combat? Then assign them all or none. Political Correctness be damned.
Disclaimer: I adore women and think they are the better of our species in many ways. But if they can't hump 70lbs and deal with the rigors of ground combat (which most can't), the few hardy types aside, then ALL should not be there or ALL should be there. No more special treatment. They want to play with the boys, then make them play by the boy's rules;
Years back, I saw too many good careers go down at the Tailhook scandal simply because a couple of female aviators got swatted on the ass, just like the men were getting. Play on the same field or go back to support positions.
Again, all women of the same status of men should have to register with the Selective Service. They want to be equal then be equal.
Last thought: Israel tried putting women in ground combat units only for that experiment to fail. They stopped.
Just because you can do something doesn’t always mean one should. A local Rep. here in WI brought up the effects of combat stress and that these women should consider that in regard to possibly becoming mothers in the future. As someone who is a Mom, and who suffers from PTSD myself, I don’t know why anyone would want to risk this obstacle to motherhood by choice. As the Mother of daughters, it worries me that they will be subject to a draft. All it takes is one more new problem and the Communists would thus have a way to conscript an ENTIRE generation.
Feminists hailing this as such a wonderful thing should be careful what they wish for.
I have so many concerns about this I could go on and on. Alas, my comp. is broken, and I’m typing this via our wii and it takes forever.

Notebooks of Lazarus Long
from
“TIME ENOUGH FOR LOVE”
“All societies are based on rules to protect pregnant women and young children. All else is surplus age, excrescence, adornment, luxury or folly which can—and must—be dumped in emergency to preserve this prime function. As racial survival is the only universal morality, no other basic is possible. Attempts to formulate a “perfect society” on any foundation other than “women and children first!” is not only witless, it is automatically genocidal. Nevertheless, starry-eyed idealists (all of them male) have tried endlessly—and no doubt will keep on trying.”
It seems that in the leftist mind the men of our enemy will treat our women better than our own men and that women will fare better and be safer in a war zone than in American society.

Great idea!!!!! Let them get killed too!! And when we have a DRAFT AGAIN, which we will, the girls will be drafted also!!! YEAH!!!!! You stupid females just couldn’t STAND not being like the guys.....idiocy.
I’m left wondering when women are going to be required to register for the draft.
