I guess that means that dudes can’t show up wearing a dress and be excluded any more.

Hillary supports this. Are her supporters willing to go fight for democracy in Syria?

[[Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, slammed the measure last week during a Senate session, calling it “a radical departure” from American history.
“The idea that we should forcibly conscript young girls into combat to my mind makes little or no sense,” he said.
But the chairman of the Armed Services Committee, Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, rebuked Cruz’s stance, calling including women in the draft “simply fair” now that the Pentagon has opened all military roles to women.]]

Figures it is McCain’s stupidity to do what the dems have wanted to do for years to destroy the military.

Filling out a little piece of paper. No big deal. Guys do it.

Besides if there ever is a draft, which there wont be,

There is no reason if a woman was picked, that she could not be used in logistics or medical or clerical to free up guys to do the combat fighting. Like you know, what we did in wwii.

Anyone ever wonder why the natural birth rate in nearly every culture is 1.03/1.04 males to 1.00 females? Think about it.

In case you haven't heard, women can serve in infantry now.

the idea that a society, a civilization has fallen so low that it would even entertain the idea of having young women being drafted to fight wars is astounding and depressing....

how I long for the days when daddy was daddy and mommy was mommy...daddy did daddy things and mommy did mommy things.

From what I’ve read, there will be quotas for women in actual combat and leadership.

That makes sense in a sane world.

The problem is, we now have opened up girls to combat duty already.

I’ll move to Canada before either of my girls can be sent up as cannon fodder. Trust me, that is all they would be good for in combat. Especially if there’s a spider in her trench.
