US Congress moves closer to requiring draft registration for women
Business Insider ^ | May 13, 2016 | Patricia Zengerle

A US Senate committee has approved legislation that would require American women to register for the military draft, setting the stage for a fight in Congress over the historic shift in policy later this year.

The Senate Armed Services Committee approved the requirement late on Thursday, as an amendment to the $602 billion National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA. The House of Representatives Armed Services Committee approved a similar amendment late last month.

No , they are not thinking , they are marching right along with the leftist agenda . Draft for women is straight from the left to destroy the military and turn it into a national police force.

Worse than something that can put your daughter in a foxhole against a muslim savage is putting her in one with one .

You do know that the ‘draft women act’ was sponsored by Tea Party darling Duncan Hunter, don’t you?

A country that would sacrifice their mothers in combat is not worth fighting for.

Right now, if some guy claimed he didn’t have to register because he “identified” as a female, the feds would have to decide whether or not to prosecute him.

If they decided they would accept his claim, the whole draft registration system would be compromised.

If they decided that they couldn’t accept that claim, they’d have no justification in harassing North Carolina over their bathroom law, or forcing public schools to loosen bathroom restrictions.

The way out of that box is to register everyone.

You’re right; at the very least if they don’t register for the draft we can stop giving them preferential treatment for college admissions, jobs, and promotions.

What guy would enlist today to fight for this country that has been consumed by a bloodless Bolshevik coup? The writing on the wall was the military personnel in the first Gulf War being ordered to keep religious symbols inside their shirts; our government didn’t want to offend the Muslims our primarily Christian soldiers were dying for...

May the odds ever be in your favor, ladies. This is what feminism got you. We can save you from everything, except yourselves, most of the time.

If Hillary is the next president, enlistment retention will be more difficult than ever.

Yes there will be a draft. It will be resisted, but there will be one. All those against it will be painted as traitors.

Gotta fulfill those "international commitments" you know.
