Some folks are born made to wave the flag
They’re red, white and blue
And when the band plays “Hail to the Chief”
They point the cannon at you...

Not that it matters because we would never have a draft again but if women want equal rights they have to sign up for the draft

Sign up all or get rid of it, I am sick of the excuses, females can always work non front line positions.

I’m curious why you feel that way.

I certainly don’t want females on the front line but they can certainly assist in logistics and many other duties that don’t put them in any immediate danger. My main concern is forcing men to have to rely on women on the battlefield, I don’t believe that is a fair position to put men in.

Far too many women take their freedoms for granted, maybe this will sort a few of them out.

The Left is full of crap. Their kids will find a way to get out of being drafted. THEY are never responsible for their actions. /sarc

Feminazis want “equality” except when it means a duty. Sry, babes. You want equality? You say gender is a social construct? then you get no exemption.

Only the elites. The useful idiots that vote Dem will not escape the consequences.

If that was part of the proposal, I wouldn't have a problem with women being drafted. But I doubt that would be the case, as drafts are for one thing: cannon fodder.

About that...

It’s not quite that black and white; the Germans’ own regulations (though often ignored) forbade the summary execution of female troops - it was local commanders that often promulgated such orders. The males were often *not* treated better and for some being executed would be an improvement.

Also worth mentioning that as the war in the East dragged on, the Wehrmacht had to give up many of their long held prejudices and started treating female captives more equally.

Not surprising. The Republicans want to destroy the United States of America as much as the Democrats do. Historically the men of any civilization protected their women to the utter most. This held true until after World War 2. The quickest and easiest route to destroying a civilization is to destroy the women. Why? Because in spite of what the social scientists, gay advocates, and others say, men can’t have babies. And babies are the future of your civilization. But go ahead. Put your women on the front lines to stop the bullets of the enemy or criminals. No civilization survived when the women protected the males. A man protects his woman.

Women have the responsibility of producing the next generation. Childbirth is not for sissies. They don’t need to be registering for the draft. This isn’t Israel we have more than enough men to fight our wars. The whole thing is political nonsense.

The Republican leadership has very little in common with me.

Um, you are sadly mistaken. The current form of the draft, Selective Service, requires all male citizens between the ages of 18 and 26 to register for the draft; those registered are are liable to be called up until the age of 35.

Or put another way - you MUST register for the draft before you turn 27 if you are male and they can draft you at any time until you turn 36. There are additional laws out there that can force a male to register before turning 27; many Federal programs such as student aid, federal job training programs and Federal employment itself require males to have signed up for Selective Service.

Further, there is historical precedent that under unusual circumstances, those so registered can be drafted up to the age of 45.

It is not just for people aged 18-25.

I support it also, because registering for the draft is a useless exercise. We’re never going to have another draft.

It’s grossly unfair that males should be penalized for forgetting to register for the draft. There are many federal programs males will be permanently ineligible for, because they failed to register. And there is no way to remedy it. Pass the age of 26, and you are stuck forever.

If males have to do this, females should also.

Government compelling you to to join the Army isn’t freedom, I’d prefer to avoid those scenarios. And no, I don’t think everyone needs to be John Wick for a society to function.
