Some of the most gorgeous female soldiers instruct you in hand to hand IDF combat called “Krav-Maga” or Battle Contact.

I went to an Air Force Staff NCO Academy graduation dinner back in the '80s and a pretty young lady AF Sergeant sitting across from me was wearing a Bronze Star on her dress uniform. I asked her what she did to earn it and she said brightly that she had "supported the effort in Grenada". I asked what she did and she apparently did a great job facilitating supply movement from the Washington DC area during that horrendous conflict.

*Sigh*

"Like why the hell should a female have the rewards and none of the responsibilities?"

Well, congratulations - we have another gutless twit advocating women for the draft. Pretty clear you never served in combat or you would have figured out how dumb an idea that is.

More proof that the men of this nation have swung to the pansy side of life. The good news is that now all of you can use both bathrooms at Target.

“What kind of nation drafts women and sends them to war?”

Is this a trick question? A country that has no other use for them...

When the body bags are piled high enough this rubbish will cease.

I’ve been “working like a goose” for years now since my company started promoting female tokens; nobody can say anything when you work the minimum hours because they’re throwing more money and titles at tokens who work even less.

One positive aspect of this: People who actually have the knowledge and do the real work will always have a job. Tokens are interchangeable...

They will discover they do not want it.


As with a lot of the leftist agenda they think they want.

No we have a gutless twit that is too cowardly to address what I said. Lets try this again:

“Like why the hell should a female have the rewards and none of the responsibilities?”

Now, Mr. mainly man, are you willing to advocate for women to cede the vote so that some airhead doesn’t have the ability to vote to send you to die so she can spend all day deciding what pair of shoes to go with her new dress?

Or are you simps still thinking taking a bullet for a girl back home makes you oh so much more sexy to them?

Show some real stones and tell your apparent goddesses to pick either being all in or keeping their hands off the machine of state.

Yep - and a lot of supposed conservative here on FR were saying we needed to do it to "teach the activists a lesson or be fair".

We are turning our backs on God and all that is moral and decent and some good people are getting sucked in to the Left's constant barrage of propaganda.

I have served with women in the Navy.

My first problem is their strength. Almost none of them can carry a man if they need to get them out of a flooding space or one that is on fire. I found myself having to even carrying mop buckets for them down ladders. I can imagine the same would happen on a battlefield.

My second problem with women in the Navy is that more than half of them got pregnant during their time and a seemingly at a higher rate a couple of months before deployment. I would bet good money that if there was a draft this would happen too on a much larger scale.

I am not trying to demonize them or say that they are cowards. If men can get pregnant I would surmise many of them would do it to, to avoid combat.

If women want to play with the men, then they need to play by the same rules.

Some decades ago, somebody filed a suit that went all the way up to the Supreme Court, saying that it was discriminatory for men to be drafted, but not women. The Supremes declared that, since women are not accepted into combat roles, then it was OK to draft just men. That reasoning, thanks to Obama's rule changes, no longer applies. Oops.

Either the Army, Navy, etc return to being men-only organizations (with women going back to being in separate organizations, like the WACs, WAVEs, etc), or women get drafted, and are enrolled under the exact same basis as men (including having no choice as to whether they get assigned a job that can get them killed). Choose one.

It’s one of the great fallacies of modern liberalism that equality means equivalency. Men and women aren’t the same (except maybe in San Francisco) and putting women positions that they aren’t suitable for is fatally stupid. There a a million jobs men are lousy at that women do best- but combat is not something women (or weak men) can do, period.

I had the miserable experience of working under a female general once. She was intelligent enough but zero idea what being a Marine was. She basically just filled the chair and wasted time while the rest of the command worked around her decisions and her interminable meetings and worthless acronyms. My favorite incident with her was when our command was holding a Physical Fitness Test (sit-ups, pull-ups, and a three mile run) on a very rainy day and we have just completed the pull-ups and sit-ups when our general shows up in her staff car, aide, and she’s wearing her Summer Service C uniform. She lectured us on “putting our utmost into our PFT” while the aide held an umbrella over her. We just looked at each other and when she left, ran our run.

Any real general would heave run the PFT with us. She went on to wreck things at the 3-star level.

In Israel, it makes sense to give women combat training. If the Muslims get past the men, the women become the last line of defense for the kids. Still, women in Israel do NOT participate in combat.

Read what he actually wrote. If women don't have to take on male responsibilities (like combat), then women should not be eligible for male rights and benefits. They should not be in the military, should not be eligible for military benefits, and should not have a say in whether we go to war.

The feminists claim that only women should have a say in matters concerning women's bodies. That means that only men should have a say in whether men's bodies are put "in harm's way".

Guess what? We're already not reproducing ourselves. Instead of getting married in their early 20's, like they used to, women are choosing to spend their prime reproductive years working on a career, and chasing "bad boys".

Maybe we can "draft" young women into being moms.

Men who deliberately make themselves unfit for combat (like, for example, shooting themselves in the leg) get court-martialed.

Women who get pregnant on active duty should be dismissed with a less-than-honorable discharge, and be ineligible for any military benefits.

We're already not reproducing ourselves.

That was my point.

As a society, "we" have decided upon extinction. Fornication, sodomy, contraception, and abortion are the mechanisms.

From this, many phenomena follow, including (but not limited to) the concept of drafting women into combat.

I agree with you. My point is that, if women are not to be eligible for drafting into combat, they should also not be eligible for the military, nor for military benefits.

Bring back separate organizations like WACs, WAVEs, etc.

No civilization or Nation will survive that sends its women to fight its battles while its men stay home.
