And maybe it is just me, but just about every morning on my drive to WORK the radio stations are playing ads reminding of all the things young MEN lose by not registering for Selective Service.

Since I did register prior to my 18th birthday in 1979 I never gave it another thought and maybe they have been airing these ads for years but I haven’t chosen to hear them. But now they ring a VERY discordant chord.

Whereas virtually all combat roles are now open to womyn, the Selective Service Act and registration requirement is a huge Equal Protection violation. The whole thing should be scrapped.
