Yep, send people around the world to countries nobody can hardly find on a map, pronounce, much less articulate what the “compelling national interest” might be to spend 20 years there, throw billions of dollars down a rat hole of foreign corruption and graft, get our personnel killed and maimed, ship the resulting “refugees” aka fully abled military aged makes to this country while at the same time our own borders are wide open.

F ‘em.

Gents are generally favored in college apps these days, because so many fewer are applying, colleges swoop down to lower levels in accepting them—especially to make sure they don’t reach the dreaded 60% female tipping point, when women don’t want to apply there either.

That should be self-evident. But here goes - because if in war time, you kill off the women of childbearing age, where will the next generation of men and women come from - a recipe for national suicide by depopulation.

And besides women have more than proved they are a liability on the battlefield. Just look at what it took to get Jessica Whatshername back from Saddam and she was only a truck driver.

Men, not pajama boys, protect women. Men, not pajama boys, do not want to see women in combat. Period.

Because the left knows forcing women into the draft would guarantee the government could never actually use it in a time of war. Can you see the riots in the streets by the helicopter parents if “daddies little princess” was threatened with being pulled away from her iPhone and sent off to war, where she could potentially get killed?

American women will make great soldiers. Just look how good they are at killing babies.

Where ‘WE’ are wrong here is

Bring back the COMPLETE draft.

Make the language that it is RESTRICTED to straight, white males ONLY.

Within days the LEFT will be suing over discrimination and DEMAND that ‘others’ be allowed to get drafted.

Let ‘others’ get drafted and protect the ‘world’ while the Straight, White Males can form up the ‘home guard’.

We really win on that hand

Sorry judges, you do not get to write the Constitution on your own, from the bench.

There are sex specific facts that all sorts of laws take into consideration, and set standards appropriate, and different due to the different sex specific facts. RECOGNIZING and accommodating those distinctions is not a loss of “due process”.

The concept that men have been the first to go to society’s defense, putting the protection of women and children as a priority has thousands of years of human experience and every major civilization throughout history in support of it.

Judges do not get to write a “living constitution” on their whim.

This ruling is unconstitutional.

Article I Section 8 Clause 14

To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;

If this judge is ruling the draft as unconstitutional over the Fifth Amendment due process, then he might as well rule that any immigration law that Congress passes under Article I Section 8 Clause 4 is unconstitutional, too.

“I agree, but can you imagine what a clusterfudge it would be to have to command random 20 year-old girls in combat?”

You realize of course, in the 21st century gender-fluid society men avoiding the draft would no longer have to dodge into Canada. A simple change to their identification to indicate they are now ‘female’ would probably kill any real attempt to gather any significant number of born-male.

And America-hating organizations would only be too happy to jump into the fray finding ways to streamline the process only because they want to ‘break’ America.

Face it, in this time you can no longer base anything on gender. Sad but true.

The 9 Justices OTSC will have the final ruling if they take the case.

Basically anyone who wants to can get into a college these days even those who can barely read or add can get into college. But barely over a quarter of men and women who are in the appropriate age group can even qualify to join the military. Most of them are too fat, have medical problems, are drug abusers, are criminals or are too stupid or lazy to get a high school diploma or GED. It is pathetic but true.

haha. I knew there were going to be some white knight tradcons coming out of the woodwork on this one. So predictable. Right on cue the “real men” shaming language as well. Lmao!! Not going to work on me or my sons, tradcon. Actual “real men” value themselves and their lives and bodies and are through being treated like disposable cattle. You let your sons protect women. And when they are killed or maimed in the process of doing so, said women will not give them a second thought. They will be too busy screwing the next dude who didn’t get himself killed for her.

Why should young men’s lives be considered disposable by the government but not young women’s lives?


Because from a biological point of view young men are more disposable than young women. In a few years China is going to be learning that lesson.

You realize of course, that in war time with a peer (Russia, China) all such gender nonsense is out the window -
