Unfortunately only USAToday & a website quoting USA Today have reported this story so far.
Whatever ... ad hominems are not permitted here.
Thanks in advance
A week into basic training the woman discovers she's pregnant. What then?
A week after deployment, a woman discovers she's pregnant. What then?
A month pregnant female sailor gets orders to ship out. What then?
A female soldier deployed to a war zone gets pregnant. What then?
Pregnancies with enlisted females is one thing but it's opening a barrel full of worms if they are draftees who don't want to be in the military in the first place......
Amazing this needs to be explained. Unfortunately we have a society where a large number of women don’t want to be women.
We don't need a war to do that - we are already doing it voluntarily.
Because women carry the next generation. I know that young women these days don't want to be reminded that they are the only people who can be mothers. And, we need mothers to keep the population of this society going. If not, all we will have are third world immigrants. Do you think we can keep our country, as we have known it, with just that population giving birth? We are already seeing the demise of our Republic, leftist step by leftist step.
There are days when I fear it is already too late.
What ad hominem? So you are considering “white knight” and “tradcon” an ad hominem? Pretty weak. I mean, that is an accurate description of your actual position on this. And you did try to shame all men who are not in agreement with your position.
And men father the next generation. If a woman’s life is valuable, then a man’s life is valuable. If a man is disposable than a woman is disposable. End of story.
During the Clinton Administration the size of the active duty US Military was cut by more than 50 percent to less than 10 active combat divisions. The support positions were eliminated and were to be contracted out during times of conflict. When that time came during the first Gulf war, the left went ape about contract fraud and blamed Republicans for companies like Haliburton, etc. on the News every night.
The entire infrastructure to provide combat support and the training of military personnel for those support roles disappeared. Even Airplane maintenance is contracted out and supervised by Military Personnel. Significant numbers of people received their civilian, non-college, trade and craft skills training from the military. That supply of a trained, disciplined and matured labor force is for the most part gone now.
I believe there should be two branches of the military.
One branch entirely voluntary and for the combat MOS’s (jobs); the other branches should be combat support related.
The draft, if it becomes necessary and regardless of gender, should apply to the combat support branches. An individual who is drafted should be given a choice to switch to combat arms if they so choose. Obviously an individual could voluntarily join the Military for non combat MOS’s.
In real emergencies it may become necessary to force individuals who are capable into the combat arms but only when absolutely necessary.
A draft based combat support branch should come back with heavy emphasis on dual use job skills and training in the event of an emergency. The draftee should have a four or five year obligation similar to the time required for a college degree with tuition support upon honorable discharge. The attendance of college and college level courses could occur concurrently with exceptional service and for those who are capable. Remedial classes should exist for those who were passed along in the public schools.
Too many kids are going to college on federal loans who have no business being there. I believe this was done on purpose, by Democrats, to undermine the US - both militarily and economically in the job market with generations of uneducated, ineducable and unemployable yout’s.
Less than one half of one percent of American Citizens have had any affiliation with the US Military for decades.
The benefits from a sense of National Unity that occurs from young people, from all over the country meeting other young adults from all over the country cannot be underestimated.
Only the woman has the capability of housing and growing a brand new, unique human being. It is our super power.
So what you’re actually saying, while couching it in some sort of traditionalist family values camouflage, is that you want vagina privilege. This is actually just typical misandric feminism.
No war or death for you. You have a vagina pass. Got it. Well, men are not buying it anymore.
“command random 20 year-old girls in combat”
You’d get laid a lot but they’re fighting skills would be worthless.
“because men do not give birth?”
Neither do a lot of women these days.
This is actually the most pivotal issue regarding liberalism.
If the supreme court rules only men must fight, they are declaring there are differences between the sexes and it stand every prior liberal court decision on it head.
If the declare there are no differences, then women get drafted and businesses no longer must adhere to confusing gender-based rules and regulations.
Exactly.. Make the Leftist FemmeNazi Cowards register as well. GOOD!
It works for Israel, it should work for us.
Make that under 50!
They admit they are at 59%; for all intents and purposes they are at 60%. If guys go to college, they have to listen to how evil they are (I have sons that have gone).
Men ARE “going their own way”, and the ladies don’t like having to fill their shoes...
Well put!
Our troops can go from fighting them over there to feeding and housing them with their tax dollars here...
After the BS in Vietnam (where our leaders later admitted grave mistakes, which resulted in killing 60,000 Americans and over a million Vietnamese), nobody would even show up if they had a draft today.
The leaders who later admitted those mistakes were war criminals, nothing less.
Babies don’t shoot back.
