Cruz screwed the pooch on more than one occasion over the course of the primary, but he was and remains the only candidate this cycle to firmly, unequivocally condemn the utterly absurd, politically-driven and dangerous move to integrate women into military units where they simply do not belong.
Well, someone should tell Trump this is a WINNER!!
“She wants you to go and carry 100 pound backpacks like men!! To drag a 200 pound man off the battlefield, and if you can’t, you both die!! It’s insanity!! And she wants it.”
The only reason women are exempt from the draft is because women were not allowed to have combat MOS’s (Military Occupational Specialties). Women were barred from combat. Since that is no longer the case than there is no longer a reason not to draft woman. Now I think it is insane to draft women and send them into combat. Total insanity and immoral. However perhaps that is what it is going to take to end this crazy idea of women in combat. If drafting little Suzy will stop women from getting combat MOSs then I say draft little Suzy.
If there is a situation such that our survival depends upon having women serving in combat roles, then they should. Registering for the draft is the mechanism whereby such women will be identified and inducted.
There was some question about the wisdom of inducting Japanese Americans during World War II. The solution was to make up units consisting mainly of such men and having them serve in the European Theater. They distinguished themselves quite well.
If units made up of women succeed, then they should be inducted. We won't know the answer until the day comes that the proper question is asked. Until that time, women should be registered and available for service.
If that makes the liberals squeamish, all the better.
