The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee is the latest to say that women should be registering for the draft.
While there's no expectation the U.S. military will return to conscription any time soon, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is siding with service chiefs who say that with all combat roles opened to women, the Selective Service system should include them, too.
"As women serve in more roles across the armed forces, I support the recommendation of the Army Chief of Staff and the Commandant of the Marine Corps that women should register for Selective Service," McCain said in a statement provided to Roll Call. "It is the logical conclusion of the decision to open combat positions to women."

We can draft Meghan, she’d make for a good Bunker Buster.
McCain has lost his mind. I would never want my daughters drafted.
Of course he is supporting this for exactly the wrong reason.
He must be tryiong to get rid of his Daudhter, hehehehehehe LOL
Can’t somebody escort that senile old jackass to the Old Folks Home?
Good Lord the GOpe has it’s hands full and rightly so!

Israel experimented with that for a while.
I’m just curious - is there one Democrat, especially the CIC, Obama, who has pushed this?
“John McCain Joins Call to Register Women for the Draft”
As with his master the leftists’ god, I’m against whatever Ace McCain is for.
Note that so-called “trans-gendered rights” is the cause du jour among the enlightened these days.
Currently (if I’m not mistaken), if you’re born with male genes but “identify” as female, you’re still required to register for the draft. But if you’re born with female genes and “identify” as male, you’re not.
Which means for all practical purposes, the federal government has established a precedent that says you don’t have to honor some individual’s delusion of what sex they claim to be (local laws to the contrary notwithstanding).
UNLESS both males and females have to fill out a selective service form - then the distinction above becomes moot.
THAT’S what I believe is the basis for this sudden interest in registering females for the draft.
“It is the logical conclusion of the decision to open combat positions to women.”
I agree. Either women are fit for combat roles or they aren’t. You can’t have it both ways.
Feminists always want to have it both ways, and I’m sick and tired of letting them, while society pays the price. Make them live by their own rules and they will soon regret the chaos they cause our society.
I actually dont mind drafting women. I can see a whole lot of roles women can serve during war time. Intelligence, medical, support, logistics, etc. I just do not believe women should be in combat roles.
I think we all had the same idea! Chubby Meghan into the foxhole, please!
Now we know what Kissinger’s finger puppet thinks. I really hope McCain loses in November.
But what about parents that feel the same about their sons?
There’s no reason they shouldn’t be drafted for those positions either.
God I hate this a$$hat...
Of course he does, rubita and jebito have both come out in favor of it so McLame has to be the good little GOPe footsoldier. McLame really should have chosen the frontal lobotomy instead of the bottle in front of him.
