When it comes to survival of a nation, look to what Israel requires of its citizens regarding military service.
So....who will be caring for all the children? The government?
“In fact, the Supreme Court, in Rostker v. Goldberg (1981), has used the fact that men and women have different roles as justification for rejecting constitutional objections to the all-male draft.”
But yet, Obama has demanded that there not be different roles. So ergo, sign up.
Only a barbaric nation it’s babies to be killed on demand.
It’s a question of need. I would argue we don’t currently need it. But if the barbarians were at the gate, my wife would be out with rifle in hand.

I have no problem registering women for the draft. I do have a problem putting women in front line combat roles.
If the women and daughters didn’t vote liberal politicians into office I don’t think it would be an issue.
Only barbaric nations force men into it to protect women and a state that have robbed those men of their rights and dignity back home in order to enrich themselves.
And only evil people hide behind “Chivalry” and “white knighting” so they dont have to pretend like they dont notice.
Point #2: Israel has it as a last resort because they have no choice. And it's not like ALL our gals are incapable. There are women operators on the CAG (aka Delta Force) and who work with the SEALs and who work even with the ODA's just as a matter of course (but all female contact teams).
Point #3 It would take a real draft literally YEARS to spin up to full steam. This argument is really still just an issue for social conservatives and has no serious merit. It's a talking point. I doubt it will ever come to that. I think that if the need were that dire, you'd see them start recalling former active duty (like me) or retirees. There would be no shortage of eager, well trained albeit slightly out of shape volunteers.
To answer your question, Cruz has come out completely against it. I don't know how Trump feels about it. Depends on the day I guess.
and yet the sons are denied college loans and government training and jobs if they don’t register for the draft..which is all that would be required of the girls too...
the boys are penalized if they don’t but the girls don’t need too ??? either do away with the requirement for boys or include the girls too...
BTW the draft did not always lead to combat..there are many support jobs that are far from the battle field...women hold those jobs too...
I think that everyone should be required 1 year Military service and that not all jobs are Combat so we dont have to have women on the front lines. Today’s youth could def use a year of discipline and structure!
Some Israeli "Barbarians"Draft only ugly women.
Justify that horror and the editors at the National Review might have a legitimate argument. Until then, STFU.
Make non-combatants civilian employees.
The left wing lunatics want women in every combat arm of the military, let their women sign up for the draft too.
