Yes. Technology trumps manpower. At least in a battle situation. China would lose that battle. On the other hand, what REALLY wins a war is will, i.e. the will to win. In that case, the U.S. couldn't beat France.

I’m all for gender equality and everything that goes with it.

As a veteran I totally agree.

I always felt it was, well, somehow WRONG to have men working in the mess hall.

Wrong to have males acting in the role of “nurses.”

And administrators? Nobody, and I mean NOBODY administrates, bureaucrats, like women, and today’s army NEEDS women for that.

In non-combatant rolls, yes.

In harm’s way? FRAK, no. We fight for the future, our future is our progeny. We fight for womanhood.

Don’t even get me started on the “trans” or “gay” BS.

Yope, equal is equal.
One time I agree with the Democrats!
I think, a lot of Karens may reconsider their vote next time.
Good thing!

To be fair, he included those who just voted present and I don’t know which ones did that.

However to me, voting present on anything is saying that you’re pro the bill, but don’t want to be on record as being pro the bill.

“Few realize it now, but every American who can stand on two feet will need to fight in such a conflict for our nation to survive”.

And where do you think such a ground war against China will take place?

When the men of a nation push their women to the front line as combatants, then that nation will probably be erased from among the nations fairly soon. That signifies the rot of the character of the men. These men cannot control their “inner bitch”.

There will be no ground war with China, at least not in America. China does not have a deep water navy. I think their range is Taiwan and not much more than that. It’s totally a domestic level navy.

Many here are analyzing this on the merits of actually drafting women into the military.

That is NOT the Dem’s purpose. If this passes, conscription will be politically impossible in the US, regardless of the situation. The Vietnam War protest movement collapsed the moment Nixon ended the draft. Any hint of conscripting women in the future, and protests/civil disobedience will be off the charts. The Dems purpose is to end the US ability to raise a large army. Try to name at least one emerging global power that might like that.

Israel has been drafting women for 2-year service stints for decades. I’m all for having that here as well.

Not here they didn’t. It’s all about number “in Theater” or in battle the point of attack.

“I do not want to see woman in combat.”

They don’t necessarily have to be in combat specialties, but there are many roles they can fill.
