Apparently not ridiculous enough that if males fail to register they can be
barred from receiving certain federal benefits, employment and citizenship.
Illegal immigrant males of draft age, amongst others are required to
register.
On the subject of excempting women that is also out of date. They were exempted in the past per USSC in 1981, in Rostker v. Goldberg...
"The existence of the combat restrictions clearly indicates the basis for
Congress' decision to exempt women from registration. The purpose of
registration was to prepare for a draft of combat troops. Since women
are excluded from combat, Congress concluded that they would not be
needed in the event of a draft, and therefore decided not to register
them."
Not the case anymore!
Equality? Discrimination?
Comments anyone?
Yeah, ridiculous, after 40 years of it being nothing more than a little formality, you can call SS registration meaningless, there is no draft.
If we ever get a draft again, it will be used by the left to destroy the military, they will probably insist that it include females and homosexuals, and probably categories that we have not thought of.
