They have been running their mouths since the 60s.
Let them be equal...
I hope Senate Republicans vote against it, but let it pass without a filibuster. Let the Dems own the political cost of putting women in ground combat units.
Women need to sign up for the draft.
If young men are required to register, or face discrimination in jobs, education, loan qualifications, etc, young women should face the same requirement.
Its overdue.
Why do we even have a selective service? The age of mass conscript army’s is long gone. It as useless to modern warfare as a pike formation or horse lancers
The usual suspects. According to Chip Roy:
Deb Fischer (R-NE)
Joni Ernst (R-IA)
Sen Thom Tillis (R-NC)
Sen Dan Sullivan (R-AK)
Kevin Cramer (R-ND)
Sen Rick Scott (R-FL)
Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)
Tommy Tuberville (R-AL)
When a war comes with China we will start off outnumbered 4 to 1. The USA has never fought a war where we don’t have numbers on our side.
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.
Is there even a legal definition of “woman” these days?
I have always felt that women should register for,the draft. No reason not to be subject to it. Not registering violates the equal protection laws.
Did any of the ones who voted “no” say that women don’t belong in the armed forces?
If not, how did they justify voting no?
I’m all for it, if the likes of Gen Milley can be replaced with any of our millions of hot, brilliant, and strong conservative babes who have bigger figurative ballzoneez!
Women are and should be the sex of last result when it comes to the military. In history, only nations facing extinction threw young women into combat and to be honest only rarely even then.
Yes, women have been ‘shooting their mouths’ off, but that’s what women often do. It does not justify drafting them or making them subject to the draft—which of course has been inactive for decades.
Although it is extremely politically incorrect to notice this, but the fact is women possess an attribute unique to them that can guarantee a nation’s existence far beyond any contribution they may or may not make on the battlefield.
About the time of our Civil War Paraguay got into a disastrous war that resulted in the loss of close to 50% of its fighting-age men. Had women died in anywhere near that number, there would be no Paraguay today.
After Kabul, conscription will be their only option.
I’m all for gender equality and everything that goes with it.
GOOD!!! They have been wanting to be EQUAL for DECADES! Maybe they will take things more SERIOUSLY!
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”.
Is GI Joe requiring the Afghan men ‘refugees” ages 18-25 to register ???
I’m all for the hens being drafted. They want “equality”… well, here it is.
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.
