I support registering women for the draft because nothing will be more effective at ending the nonsense of women being equal to men than making women equal to men!
Possibly.
But even if drafted, they could be kept here to do logistics and support roles, to free up guys to do the fighting.
Women took over roles here in wwii so guys could fight. No shame in that.
Always need people back here doing support.

Except, having women in combat positions will get more men needlessly killed.
The Dems aren’t doing this to make women equal. Equality has nothing to do with it. The purpose of a draft for women [and for the Democrats’ recent attempts at draft legislation during the Iraq and Afghan war is to hobble America’s ability to fight wars effectively by undermining popular support for action. People are already wary of sending sons to fight, how much more so their daughters?
It won’t have much effect on popular support for silliness like Hillary’s war on Libya because there wasn’t time for opposition to build even if the Dems had decided to deploy the draft threat then [which they did not because Democrat wars are always good and just]... but the threat of drafting people will undermine support for any protracted conflict that involves a looming election.... in particular any conflict involving a serious enemy that has staying power, such as Russia, China, Iran, and so on.
The purpose of a female draft is to scoot the US a little farther towards total dependence on the UN and the assent of others for determining when we can and cannot fight.
