“...the Marine Corps found that mixed-gender units were significantly outperformed by all-male units in simulated combat operations.”

Says it all.

Army Secretary John McHugh said Monday that opening up all combat roles to women would push lawmakers to engage in an “emotional discussion and debate” about whether or not women should also be required to enter the draft.

Not surprised in the least. While we engage in this stupid, historically unsupported and destructive debate about this silly issue, the country will lose more ground.

"Army Sec: American Women Could Be Required to Register for Draft if Combat Jobs Integrated"

If? I thought it was already a done deal.

The Womyn have been harping about equality and preaching that there is essentially no valid reason women should be treated differently than men.

So why should they get only the good and none of the bad?

They won’t have the full equality they seek until all the rules and laws apply equally to females and males with no distinctions or exceptions based on sex.

I believe that any move to register women for the draft will play right into the hands of the Left. Women believe that they have special privileges in our society: they can do whatever they wish, but if it requires something unpleasant or not to their liking; then they retreat to society’s traditional protection of the child bearing gender.

Women will never tolerate being required to register, much left actually responding to a draft call. That is not in their nature and in the face of widespread resistance from females, the politicians will back off like a scalded dog. The result will be that our country will be unable to defend itself if such drastic measures is required. The Feminists will be pleased.

Let's not forget the "quality" of the recruits among women.

Meet the latest batch of recruits!

Great question to Hillary though-— Great campaign issue. Should women be drafted? Let’s see who is conducting a war on women.

This is sign they’re having trouble recruiting.

This is the Army. Stop a child from being raped, get screwed yourself.

An Army of ugh.

It’s long past time for this.

Should have started back in the Seventies.

A male-only registration is illegal and unconstitutional. I hear the annoying ads on my local radio reminding males to register. If women want “equality” they need to be held to the same laws and standards as men.

Great! So, I can now look forward to my grand-daughter being drafted into a foxhole in one of Americas stoopid and endless future wars just so a tiny few Liberals can “feel good”.

There are plenty of functions in supply, administration, medical and technology where women would be of great value and free up men to go out and fight. But putting them in combat roles merely complicates everything from planning to performance.

Unicorns COULD be required to sign up too... This sounds like the usual climate change lies... could happen, might happen, etc.

I’m wondering what “combat duty” has to do with mandating females register for the draft. Not all draftees go into combat now. If females can be drafted, it just increases the size of the draft pool, and probably increases the chance of a male drawing a combat assignment.
