Screw that. Let the women serve and the men stand down. We’ve done our part. They want equality, give it to them! That will end the sexual harassment that is so “epidemic” in a mixed military these days too. (/s)
It sounds like the commie lib feminazis’ war on wimmen is kicking in. LOL!
Now that the U.S. has an affirmative action military — women should be drafted, until they make up 50% of the forces. Furthermore, now that women have been “allowed” into combat roles; they should be sent to the front lines, until a proportionate (50%) number of causalities are female.
(Just taking an absurd situation to its logical conclusions.)
Well, this is pretty obvious. The strange thing is that I don’t think they’ve asked the women themselves.
Most women don’t want to kill and don’t want to go into the military. You have to be willing to kill (well, somebody other than your unborn baby) if you go into the military, and I honestly think that Obama’s attempt to get women on the front lines may be the thing that sinks him.
Even your Obama-loving hipster chick out in Brooklyn is not going to like this.
translation: If women are eligible for the draft we can be darned sure a draft will never be instituted.
I don’t have any daughters, but “no.” That goes for my sons too.
Yeah, about those poll results...
I remember years ago when a cynical individual was put on a board full of idealistic fools that were reviewing scholarships with interviews for Army cadets. The fools were filled with all sorts of p.c. questions to ask these future officers, and of course demanded that they at least pretended to be leftists, forcing them to lie about their political opinions.
When they finally asked about whether the cadets supported women in combat, the cynic had enough, so he rephrased the question to one uncomfortable cadet.
“If you were in a combat branch and in combat, would you have a problem sending the women in your unit out to draw fire?”
Boy, did that board turn icy in a second.
The cynic was not asked to sit on that board again. He didn’t mind, because he taught a course in military history, one that the cadets were very intent on taking, though it was not mandatory in the slightest.
He was so anti-p.c. that he taught the truth. It not only made them much better officers, but might have saved several of their lives.
Women should be required to register for Selective Service and face the same legal penalties for failure.
When I turned 18, there was not requirement for SS registration, (Ford rescinded SS registration in 1975) SS in 1980 Carter reinstated SS requirement and backdated to those born in 1960. Men born between 1957-1959 never required to register. I, like many other men volunteered for military service and were exempted (by law) from registration because we served, yet later in life not having a SS registration record causes many problems. Employers deny employment to potential employees due to no SS record.
NO American should be subject to the draft, or any other form of slavery.
That should get the Islamic militants running high-tail in battle
...until they actually got drafted, that is.
The draft is nothing but kidnapping. Pay enough to get all the volunteers you need or avoid needless wars. The children of the wealthy and government officials should go first.
Every female between the ages of 18 and 60 should be required to register with the Selective Service. It’s only fair. And no exemptions. Pregnant? If Uncle Sam wanted you to have a baby, he’d have issued you one. They can work admin until the baby is born, and then it’s off to The National Nursery with the baby. The Democrats will raise Junior. Overweight? The Drill Sergeants will run that off them. Sick? The medics will give you two aspirin. Suck it up. Welcome to the Infantry, ladies! At least you’ll get a free headstone!
“......if a draft becomes necessary again....”
Count on it.
Don’t forget the gays. They are a special group now too, right? THus they should be actively drafted as a group. We wouldn’t want any imbalances now would we?
Women shouldn't even be in the military, its not a social club. They could work with the military as civilian contractors but they shouldn't be near a combat zone, let alone fighting in one.
Actually, to make up for past discrimination women should receive a preferential draft, being drafted before men.
Also for serving women, pregnancy while on a tour of duty should be considered desertion.
How many gung ho gals are willing to get a high and tight haircut?
They would quit the military in droves. If they want equality, REAL equality, I say give it to them!
