I’m sure liberal men would send their womenfolk out late at night to deal with prowlers, too.

If women want to be treated equally, then, there should be nothing to stop them.

Then, they had better be equal in all respects and capacities. For example, they had better be able to carry a wounded soldier of about 165 pounds on their shoulder for about 100 years, or whatever is the requirements lately. No dumbing down, and no downgrading of the requirements. War is war, and nobody gets a break when in battle.

First gays, now females.. Someone is working hard to castrate our military. Or create a military that would follow orders to shoot civilians? Gay power, Girl power?

I remember being marched through the Oakland induction center with about 5,000 other guys when registered for the draft in 1966. I can’t wait to hear the squawking when the gals are ordered to come in and get their physicals so they can be classified.

advocacy groups for military women

That is to say, old maids being groomed to be rear-eschelon officerettes like Janice "light-fingers" Karpinski—the shoplifting general who gave us Abu Ghraib. Such are not the country-girl grunts and inner-city chicks who would actually get shot at, who oppose sending girls like themselves into combat 8-1 or more.

This will change when the first bomb falls on US soil.

You know “Affirmative Action” is coming. The men will have the standards lowered.

I'm not sure any country would be worth that kind of commitment!

No, my girls won’t be registering for anything. They don’t belong to the state.

Speaking of someone “ball-less”, if Bath-House-Barry didn’t register with Selective Service, why should anyone else?

Women soldiers are not going to be held to male standards in the future, nor was that the plan in the beginning. The government will lower the standards as far as they have to, regardless of the impact. That’s not an unintended consequence; that’s the idea.

They don’t care that the military is being weakened. That doesn’t scare them. They *want* that. They never intend to use the military for ground combat. They’ll either use drones or they’ll use nothing.

The military is just a government bureaucracy for delivering aid now. They’re going to slash the budget and kill the culture, leaving behind an armed version of the post office. And that will be that.

What’s so interesting is that the people who seem to be clamoring for women in combat, and a return of the Draft are the exact ones who rioted against the Draft in the 60s.

They can register my daughters right after they register my guns.

In 1972, Rep. John G. Schmitz (R-Calif.) published a pamphlet entitled Look Out! They're Planning to Draft Your Daughter! (Belmont, Mass.: American Opinion, 1972). Although the pamphlet was primarily concerned with the proposed Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution, Schmit was way ahead of his time in when it came to drafting women into the armed forces.

Incidentally, Schmitz, as the nominee of the American Independent party, ran against President Richard Nixon that same year and netted more than a million votes.

The thought of my granddaughters registering for the draft just sickens me.

If women are so damned eager to get into combat it cannot be on a “only if they feel like it” basis. They get the full package or not at all.
