We won't need to draft women, and I hope Congress rejects this idea.

If Congress and Trump allow this, their daughters must be the first to be drafted. No exceptions, no deferments. And for combat, not stateside office duty.

Denying women the right to register for the draft would be treating them like 2nd class citizens.

If men must register at 18, why not women?

If men must register, women must too. Discrimination by sex is unconstitutional.

They can’t have it both ways: special privileges but exempt from duties.

Yes. Draft them, and give them away in trade for decent foreign women.

Women have every right and responsibility to be drafted the same as men.

Disagree and strongly so. They claim they want to be equal, in fact are equal and I agree.

There is no reason women should not serve if called and while I would not want to be in a fox hole with one (do they even dig the things anymore?) they would be able to free up the men for combat instead of their doing clerical and kitchen work.

“Yes. Draft them, and give them away in trade for decent foreign women.”

We can start with trading for some Polish draftees!

Trumps daughters are past the age . Why shouldn’t women register for the draft? I had too. They want equality here it is . I actually think some women are allot tougher then men anyways. I went shopping today and men were ducking away from everyone like complete pearl clutching pussies.

Right. That is BS. There is no reason to draft women, in fact there are many reasons not to.

What defines a woman these days? The progressives and LGBTXYZ have blurred the lines so badly there is no way definitively distinguish a person’s gender. In some states a person can go back and have their sex changed on their birth certificate. Madness.

“Discrimination by sex is unconstitutional.”


Did the E.R.A. get ratified?

I think for a period during Roman times a third of the Senate was required to go to war. I’d support that. Just not into compelling our women to go be cannon fodder. We can project a lot of power with few people these days, don’t see why this is necessary beyond PC reasons.
