Following his announcement that he is opening all positions in the U.S. military--including all combat positions--to women who can meet the standards, Defense Secretary Ash Carter was asked on Thursday if that means women will have to register with the Selective Service, just as men must do.
"It may," he said.
A reporter asked Carter, "Mr. Secretary, does this decision now lead to a -- a greater debate about whether women need to register for Selective Service?"
"It may do that, Phil," Carter replied. "That is a matter of legal dispute right now, and in fact, litigation. So...I don't know how that will turn out.

Woman will only get what they’ve asked for.The majority may soon regret it.
None of my daughters voted for this $#*+. Start with those who did.
‘Women’ have been brainwashed by lefty teachers and media for 50+ years. ‘They’ will only get what the left has been dying for all along. Literally, population control writ large.
Wishing the women dead to ‘serve them right’ is blaming the victims here.
Couldn’t they just claim they are homosexual or dress like Klinger...never mind.
Non sequitur.
However, the law that makes men register and not women is an invalid law.
What a despicable cowardly country we have become ... sending our daughters to fight on the front lines. I am ashamed of what we have become

I guess we will need all bodies available for the next war they have planned.
I never registered for the draft and got caught. The FBI showed up and asked me a lot of questions. My drill instructors were very upset and gave me hell. Yep. That’s right. I got in trouble for not registering for the draft while I was in Marine Corps Boot Camp. It was like a Twilight Zone.
Why? It’s not like we’re ever actually going to have another draft, that’s a political 3rd rail nobody is getting near. End the current registration, it’s a waste of money.
We can’t get rid of this Carter fool fast enough.
“Wishing the women dead to ‘serve them right’ is blaming the victims here.”
Now who the hell is wishing that woman would be dead?It sure as hell is not me.I’m aware that the majority of woman in this country have other things on their minds than joining the military and that the left has just about made their decisions for them.Thats so unfortunate.
We need to create an all female Infantry Battalion, put them into combat and see how long it takes them to get chewed up and spit out in pieces. A female here and a female there in a combat unit are able to hide their natural inherent weaknesses amongst their male fellow soldiers and the loss of unit effectiveness is minimal, unless you are the soldier who needs to rely on a female in a life and death situation and you end up dead.
Read the posts on these threads.
‘Serves them right hope they get their faces blown off’ are the primary comments.
That may run into trouble with males that identify as females. And females that identify as males - will they be required to register now?
When do we stop this “Female Privilege”?
Your sarcasm detector needs a new battery.
My daddy got a notice to report for a pre-induction physical when he was a 105 mm howitzer platoon leader in Korea. He declined to attend.
Both the Russians and the Israelis have tried this in the past, and both quickly reversed course.
Why is it we have to keep reinventing the wheel?
It is said that there are exceptional fighting women out there .. and there are. For the record I hold a “few” advanced black belts in the martial arts and I travel around the US teaching my art. In the course of this travel I have many opportunities to work with many VERY high ranked women. As an example I work with a 7th dan TKD women who owns a school that I do seminars at. She says she likes to work with me because I don’t treat her like a woman when we spar. What I don’t tell her is ... that I do. She thinks I’m at least 3/4 speed and strength when sparring with her. In reality I’m at about 1/4 of what I would be with a man. Still she can’t touch me. Last seminar she tried to get me on the ground and finally out of frustration she jumped on me and wrapped her arms and legs around me (I let her) .. still no luck. Then a 6th dan woman and a fourth dan woman jumped on and they FINALLY got me down. Lesson in this ... I’m a 64 year old fat martial artist and I’m working with VERY high ranked ~40 year old in shape women martial artists and it took three of them to get me down ... and only cause I was just playing. Can you imagine if this was on the battlefield with untrained women.
