In times of extreme hardship everyone must be willing to defend themselves and their offspring but a civilization which deliberately chooses as a matter of principle to not protect its child childbearing members is doomed to extinction.

I recall that during the first Gulf War there were women in the reserves and National Guard who complained about being called up and deployed. They said they signed up for the free education, not to go to war.

As they say, women wanted equality, and they deserve to get it good and hard.

I won’t do it. I will renounce my citizenship before they force me to fight. As a woman, I am not physically equipped for these tasks and a group of stupid butch womyn with penis envy is not going to make me pay for their delusions.

Yeah, I knew a few like that. Free education while servicing the officers on duty weekends.

I can't wait to see little Suzie Pumbottom all five foot six and 140 pounds meeting hand to hand one Ivan Ivanovich, six feet four inches and 215 pounds. "For the want of a nail, a shoe was lost, for the want of a shoe a horse was lost, for the want of a horse a battle was lost, for the want of a battle a kingdom was lost."

The negro community organizer from Chicago has succeeded in transforming America and its military into a diverse mob.

In the first Gulf War, the alphabet soup networks broadcast a steady stream of single female service members trying to get out of going to the Middle East because of their younguns.

Bet all those who stayed in for 20 are drawing full retirement benefits now. Limited service, decided upon by the GI now; full benefits later. That’s feminist equality alright.

Make females register and, just like with the guys, make registration a condition for receiving federal benefits (student loans, etc.)

I don’t know how to post pictures, so if anyone can find the meme titled, “same medals, different experience” I’d appreciate it. Female soldier pointing at her lunch and the male is bloodied from battle and appears to be holding his battle buddy’s hand. Pretty much sums up what we are talking about.

The Red Army of World War 2 had female clerical staff at the division level and higher. In addition to the clerical staff duties, they were pretty much there as “war wives” for the officers. Some got married to their “war husbands” in May 1945. Other officers just went back to their “peacetime wives.”

Do we really expect anything different? People will do what people do.

They said they wanted equality. They didn’t mean full equality: rights, privileges and responsibilities. They just wanted the rights. Tough. Now they need to take on the responsibilities.

Modern militaries seem to have little use for cannon fodder. Even Israel is selective and a high number of draft age men and women do meet standards.

Regardless, I think that in a "draft" environment, there will be penalties for deliberately making yourself unfit for service. Even if it's enlisting you, and then immediately giving you a dishonorable discharge.

Great! all the cushy jobs to rotate to after arduous duty are going to filled by female REMFs. /sarc

Does anyone know how the military works? You cant keep rotating the same guys thru all the dangerous and sucky tours of duty until they quit or die. They deserve down tine which is what ever REMF job really is.

Bullcrap. I didn’t raise a good young woman to be a soldier. Sick as the faggotry all in our society.
And I will help her evade any registration or draft. And also any of her female friends.

The democratic wing-nut bra-burners of the 1960’s are finally reaping their rewards, with watching their very own granddaughters, under a democratic president, register under the Selective Service Act.

Now, all we need, is to have Charlie Rangel’s dream of re-enacting the draft. Now, won’t THAT be fun!

The leftist are really giving the military the once over. The last 7 years have been catastrophic and there are Freepers totally unaware o the agenda at play here.

Many here seem to equate registering for the draft as equal to being in front line infantry.

I don’t see that connection.

a little UMT (Universal Military Training) might go a long way to making patriotic citizens out of our little tater tots.

OORAH!!

That’s the truth.

I was referring to our modern day camp tramps. The ones that get ahead via “action affirmative” not affirmative action.
