Many of the females I knew well in the military were gay. That was in the Carter & Reagan era.

I think all of this is going to come down to a lawsuit and decided by SCOTUS. In Rostker v. Goldberg, SCOTUS decided that women were not required to register:

And since women are excluded from combat service by statute or military policy, men and women are simply not similarly situated for purposes of a draft or registration for a draft, and Congress' decision to authorize the registration of only men therefore does not violate the Due Process Clause.

Since Obamas policy has now put women into combat service, it violates the Due Process Clause.

True; but just wait until the privileged and political classes need it to save their assets, and ASSES.
