Can't wait to hear from the Draft-Dodger wing of the Freerepublic community, only too happy to let the young ladies replace them in the ranks.
They always show up when a thread mentioning women and the draft is posted.
Semper fi, bro, but it's past time for including women in registering for the draft. There are thousands of positions that women be able to serve in, should mobilization be required.
Has nothing to do with dodging the draft...I did 8 years on active duty (76-84, Army - Air Defense Artillery), my last job was a HQs Battery Commander, basically CG's staff and other directorates at Fort Bliss, i.e. cooks and clerks.
Cooks and clerks will be needed in the next war, too.
I'll be ready, too, putting one of these in my backyard:
I'm more than qualified, lol: was a platoon leader for both Chaparral platoons, in our composite Chaparral/Vulcan, took both through their Tac Evals, as well as one of the Vulcan platoons. Few jobs in the Army are more enjoyable than that of a platoon leader.
Bullpucky. Everyone should register who is within the age catagory. All genders, all races, citizens and non-citizens including those on work visas. No exemptions for higher education or politician’s git. Everybody does the same basic & AIT. The same. If you are 4F you can still stack ammo crates or Pell potatoes. No conscientious objectors - if you can’t die for your country, die for your God. Two years of national service should be three years do we get some value out of all the training you’ll get. After that you’ll be fit and prepared enough to live some place besides your parents basement. Get a job, contribute, build this country. Only then will you have the right to criticize it.
