Obama Says Women Should Register For Selective Service

Even as the U.S. confronts two long wars, neither Sen. John McCain nor Sen. Barack Obama believes the country should take the politically perilous step of reviving the military draft.

But the two presidential candidates disagree on a key foundation of any future draft: Mr. Obama supports a requirement for both men and women to register with the Selective Service, while Mr. McCain doesn't think women should have to register.

Also, Mr. Obama would consider officially opening combat positions to women. Mr. McCain would not.

What about women that state publicly they are not proud of their country?

[Brian S. Fitzgerald]

Where will Obama’s war be? On your street.

[capydick]

Did 0bama himself register when required?

[TexanToTheCore]

No way.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Register like the manchild did? ROTFLMAO! Tell him to take a hike ladies!

[stocksthatgoup]

The Socialists and Democrats want a National Service program, military, retirement homes, social services etc in order to indoctrinate our youth. This will soon be coming your way!

[A. Morgan]

Having women register for the draft is another ANTI WAR policy.

Forget registration, why didn’t he enlist for Iraq I or II. He was young enough to be accepted and to fight.

[Argus]

Shout it from the rooftops MCCain:

“Obama wants to draft your daughters and send them into combat, while he lacked the guts to enlist and serve himself!”

[jwalsh07]

Obama the chickenhawk wants women to fight his battles. Typical.

[machogirl]

This is just one step away from the “forced” youth-work camps.
Well, maybe more than one step, but certainly closer.

To the empty suit: register your wife and daughters first./Just Asking - seoul62.......

If those women who have never been proud of their country are haggard looking (without makeup) bitter and ugly because of their hate, they should be exempted and ignored

[HungarianGypsy]

I remember stories of women holding down the homefronts during various wars. I’m more and old fashioned feminist, though.

[mwl8787]

This is entirely consistent with a father who won’t even give his daughters birthday or Christmas presents.

[Jet Jaguar]

BTTT

[oswald]

I agree. Probably a Soros idea. Think of all the new anti war activists this creates.........

[silverleaf]

Well, using women on the frontlines of the social revolution worked for Ayers- his first GF blew herself up in the glorious cause of the revolution

Maybe Bernadine Dohrn could be an advisor

[WakeUpAndVote]

On thing is for sure, the Israli Army is not a Soros idea.
