Because they are going to slow someone’s grandsons down and get them killed.

Not if the grandsons are not there because someone’s granddaughters took their place.

What about this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/pentagon-to-allow-transgender-members-to-serve-openly/2015/07/13/fe9b054a-298d-11e5-a5ea-cf74396e59ec_story.html

If transgenders can serve openly, then the rule is already there to draft women. If a person genetically a man claims to be a “woman” can be drafted, then women technically according to today’s definition, must sign up for selective service and can be drafted. That or genetic women who claim to be “men” must sign up. One or the other — either way it puts women or “women” in the potential draft selection.

And with a quote from a famous US Federal Marshal Samuel Gerard; “I don’t care!”

Because real men live to serve women, right?

“What are you, some kinda girly man? What if a nice normal girl just wants to get married and raise a family? Only a homo or a total statist would demand she be forced to be in the army.”

A girly man lives to be the shield for females because he thinks he will be rewarded with love and accolades while the state continues to give women more rights and power over him.

A homo jumps in front of a female and says “I’m happy to be your utility” thinking he is making himself look more attractive to them.

Only a simp gushes at the idea of being forced into service while she gets to kick back and think about what pair of shoes she’s going to buy today.

“Have you ever heard the expression, “women and children first”?

That was when we were a sane society.

Why? Because she has two breasts and a vagina? That makes her special?

Male = disposable utility.

Female = more rights, more privileges, and less responsibility for them.

Cruz is really reeling in the limp-wristed do anything for female validation vote.

Because real men, at least in Western Culture, are supposed to protect women, children and the innocent.

While the state screws them and gives women greater privileges and legal power over them, turning them into little more than pack animals to prop up females and their real husbands in government.

Yeah “real men”, huh? More like real suckers.

If it becomes necessary to reinstate the draft we will be in dire straits. It makes no sense to exempt half of the population from being required to “pay the rent” in an extreme emergency. Putting women in Selective Service rolls would just speed up the process in an emergency.
I do not think women belong in combat and most would not want to be. I’m just saying equality works both ways. You can’t pick and choose where you want to be “equal”.
My attitude comes from generations of my family spending their lives serving this nation. I expect nothing less from the next generation.

Then you should know that drafts are used to populate combat arms units for the simple reason that when people see Mass casualties being taken by combat arms units enlistees gravitate away from 11B.

So what are you going to do with all of those women you were forced to draft because you sure as hell ain’t making shooters out of 99.99% of them?
