Sorry, I think you misunderstand what I mean. Pursuing the registration of women for the selective service is the poison pill that will permanently reverse the new role of women in combat. It is basic reverse psychology. The outrage of women being able to join combat roles is relatively small as it is completely volunteer. The outrage at the requirement of all women having to register for selective service would be enormous.
I do understand your point. My response is that I do not think it will generate the outrage you anticipate. I thought it would, and I think the Congressmen and generals who raised the issue thought it would. But if the GOP isn’t going to carry the “this is a stupid idea” banner, it won’t get reversed.
