Furthermore, American men aren’t exactly swaggering images of John Wayne these days. They’re none too happy to send their women to war, and that speaks volumes about the decrepit state of the nation.

I don't think that the author understands the actual meaning of that phrase. From the context, I'd say that he actually intends to say the exact opposite.

Regards,

Idont like it, i would vote against it.

But the libtard uniparty wants it so they are getting it.

They will discover they do not want it.

They will eventually agree with us and prefer to just sacrifice our boys for stupid non national security mega corporation reasons.

All our ENEMIES have to do to beat us in a war is draw a line in chalk.

The ridiculous spectacle of rescued POW Pfc. Jessica Lynch, the feisty, ballyhooed warrior of the Army’s 507th Maintenance Company, which was butchered early on in Iraq, occasioned the usual war whoops. Yet no one asked a simple question: What in heaven’s name was a hundred-pound girl, barely out of pigtails and high school, doing in a combat zone?

“What kind of nation subjects mothers, daughters, wives and sisters to a military draft where they could be placed in a direct ground combat unit?”

The same one that gives them the vote while subjecting men to a draft.

Pick one. Either the people that complain about females in a draft show some real bravado and start demanding that women’s suffrage gets yanked or these special dumplings can share in signing up like the guys.

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

I missed the Vietnam draft by a couple years, instead volunteered for the Navy in ‘79. If we are going to register and have a draft, it should be equal. Period. If a woman can be president, why can’t she be drafted? Fair is fair.

Only a nation that is devoid of love for women. The Israelis tried this years ago. It was a failure not due to the bravery of the women but the horrors of those captured. They do not do this anymore.

“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...

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.

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