"I have to admit, as I was sitting there listening to that conversation, my reaction was, 'Are you guys nuts?'" Cruz said Sunday, speaking at a town hall here. "Listen, we have had enough with political correctness, especially in the military. Political correctness is dangerous. And the idea that we would draft our daughters to forcibly bring them into the military and put them in close combat, I think is wrong, it is immoral, and if I am president, we ain't doing it."

Amen, is right! I’m glad Cruz not only came about against drafting women, but had the guts to call the idea what it is: nuts!

cruz has been successfully drafting behind Trump for so long, he would be nuts to try and draft behind woman. Lord know he looks creepy enough as is.

Cruz won’t have to worry about it because he isn’t going to be President

Draft women is nuts but cheating a black candidate out of votes is ok. Cruz is nuts!

Thank God. I thought that was the most idiotic thing I have ever heard come from a Presidential candidate, that they would make Selective Service mandatory for women and possibly subject them to the draft.

Ohhh, your talking about the military draft. When has cruz or anybody in his family ever been in or supported the military? Kind of rings hollow coming from cruz, doesn’t it?

All the folks on here crying for their Black Al Gore, please donate to his campaign. He needs some more money to hire a campaign bus to drive around the primary states... EMPTY. His voters haven’t caught on yet.

What is that like black lives matter, only for Canadians?

Actually, I think we need society to rise up and declare: "Feminists are wrong! Men and women are different! Some jobs make sense for men and not for women! This is especially true in the military! Women do not belong in combat!"
Those are commonsense positions, but the country isn't really there yet.
So -- treat men and women the same: register women for the draft.
It's about changing people's minds.

I wish he had vehemently jumped in (he has two daughters) and ripped them a new one with an OVER MY DEAD BODY statement.

It is my understanding that when women go in the military now and especially if they are going in hot zones they are told to go in birth control because if captured they will most likely get raped.
