Flame away but my daughter has 18 years in the military. I’m retiring from the military. People need to figure out how their freedom is maintained. It’s not by hugging it out with terrorists.
My daughter served 6 years in the Army, then used her GI Bill to pay for her Paramedic and Nursing schools. After working in the ER and Operating Room, she's now looking into becoming a Forensic Nurse, making about $150k a year.
I certainly don’t want females on the front line

They already are.
“You have to wake up.”
...simply not a necessary statement, it’s called discussion about what I believe *should* be - also called an opinion.
Israeli women are border and crossing guards, not front line troops. Here, they would go to the front lines because that’s the feminine advancement agenda - or why we have women generals in charge of combat troops.
Fair statement. Drop it for men too though?
Well, when some Russian units decided to start executing captured Germans as reprisals for their slaughtered female troops, the Germans suddenly decided that maybe this had been a bad idea.
Didn’t say I had a lot of sympathy there, dude. Don’t read into it.
It’s bad enough that young men get killed in war.
Killing young women is killing the future.
Where were the fathers of young women when the Combat Arms were opened to women?
Opening the draft to women was the natural consequence of that decision.
You wanted equality...
This veteran agrees. There are many upon many places and roles that women could field and free up men for combat, if a draft ever happens again.
Thank you both for your service.
I 100% agree. Selective service should go away for man and woman. My theory is if we are actually invaded, then well, we are already well armed domestically, militia time. For foreign wars, all volunteer forces should have plenty of people for the amount of power that can be projected with few people these days.
Plus you get to see some of the world and you will never go hungry even if you blow all your pay on booze or that used beater sports car on the lot just off post.
Most Republicans men and women have voted for candidates who go to war. You have heard of neocons right? Your argument is weak. Tell me you didn’t vote for Dubya twice.
That argument might make sense to Napoleon. But we no loner fight that way. Try to keep up.
So to be fair, women should have to register for “child bearing” duty?
All women must register for the “draft” between ages 18-26.
They may be called upon to produce a child up to the age of 35.
In extreme circumstances the age will be 45.
Sounds a little silly to me. Wasn’t there a movie about that?
Actually we should make Voting dependent on Registering for Selective Service and FORCE the Demonrats to Argue WOMEN ARE NOT EQUAL!
WTH are you talking about? 😐
I did, but the fact is that in the past century, more women have voted for presidents that took us to war than men.
