The second that women are required to register for the draft, the restrictions on women in the ground gaining combat arms will be back in place. What the Republicans want to do is to concede the fight and shrug their shoulders while saying that they couldn’t do anything about it, Obama just said so and that’s the end of it.
I would like to agree with you, but I just don’t think that is the case, especially with the spineless “conservatives” in government who don’t want to be painted as racist/sexist/homophobic, and that is exactly the tack taken by the Left if anyone tries to oppose it. If there is one thing I have learned, liberal policies are like a one-way ratchet, and ground lost, is rarely, if ever, recaptured.
This business of putting women on ships (even submarines) female Rangers, etc. is a done deal. We know it is Kabuki Theater for social engineering, and is designed to make our military a jobs program instead of a fighting force, and it has been going on for a while.
Ostensibly, these draft proposals are for “equal rights”, and what, I don’t see them stopping this at the draft. It is just another crowbar for the left.

Would love to tell them to turn out the light when we leave, but we’ve got too many treaties and trade agreements still in place with the UN and independent countries. But if we are going to go that route, we could also demand repayment of debts from WW I &II from countries like England, France, Germany, Japan, China, and Russia. That should cover their ability to buy weapons for a while.

What we need is peace. War hasn’t been helping us at all and there’s no longer any popular support for these military adventures, which creates an extremely tenuous situation. When our military goes to war it needs to have the backing of the population and it doesn’t have that anymore since these expeditions have no real connection to national security.
There will never be a draft again. It would be political suicide.
