Yep - and we have some here on FR that sit atop the acme of that height of stupidity.....they knee-jerk their thoughts of “fair is fair” without actually bothering to think about it then double down on their stupidity when called on it.

How about get rid of the Draft/ Registration, and follow the beliefs of Robert A Heinlein in which there should be no draft and citizens should be free to enlist of their own free will to defend their nation.

- just my opinion.

We live in a Culture that has embraced Sodomy, extreme deviance and abortion. A Culture that has embraced lies as truth and ordered respect and reverence for the lies This is just icing or a butter floret on the cake. That cake is ours whether we like it or not.

"Men" that send their women to fight their wars are not men. They are fools blinded by their wicked ideology, disguised as men. Delusion is a terrible thing to behold when it is ultimately forced to face reality.

This entire bullsh!t about putting women in combat started with the feminist movement in the 70s. Before that, nobody in their right minds would have dreamed of doing it. They still don't.

Politicians who do are either blinded by their wicked ideology or are weak, pandering hacks, pretending that human nature doesn't exist and caring little for real people whom they "lead".

A pox on the entire lot of them!

Just giving an honest opinion on FR, and to be honest that’s what I believe for I think that a citizen to defend their republic should be free to choose to do so like in Starship Troopers, and most would plus history backs that up.

Like I said, your opinion is your prefect right and should be respected, whether someone agrees with it or not does not matter.

I respect your opinion

Leftists are the only ones calling for restoring and expanding the draft. It’s not that they want women in combat, it’s that they want to poison the prospects of declaring war by forcing the populace to balk at sending the unwilling & unable to fight it.

93+ million out of the workforce, and how many million of those are young men of military age?

When I was in Coast Guard boot camp. I heard our DI tell some female recruit that there was over a mile of d**k on this base and she couldn’t have an inch of it. LOL

It will absolutely be used again. We are on a rocket sled towards a society that places service to the state above the individual. There will be involuntary service required of kids. Maybe working in a Detroit ER, or maybe militarily. But yes, they absolutely want to find a way to require service to the state.
And many “conservatives” will celebrate it.

100 percent agree. It’s involuntary servitude, period. But many so called conservatives think forcing people to work against their will for a few years is wonderful. Remember, they know what is best.

Too late. If the military accepts transgenders then the rule has already been changed. Men who think they are women must register. Or is it women who think they are men? Well, either way, the rule HAS been changed and consistency must be applied.

Same goes for the change in allowing women in combat. Premises have consequences. Just as so many were in denial that Lawrence vs. Texas would inevitably lead to Obergefell vs. Hodges as Scalia said it would, many of the premises for women registering for selective service have ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED.

It is a done deal.

Whatsoever a feminist sows, that shall she also reap.

It is. This is the fruit of our rotten tree. It's the only fruit it can produce.

Wrong. It is nice girls who had nothing to do with this reaping what feminists sow. Some good normal young woman being forced into the army to satisfy the insanity of the left or the political schemes of the right is abhorrent. No sane parent would let his daughter go into the immoral snake pit the military has become.
