"Jerry Seib of the Wall Street Journal, Ben Domenech of the Federalist, Ed O'Keefe of the Washington Post and PBS moderator Gwen Ifill weigh in on GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump's concern over the Pentagon's decision to open all combat roles to women."
Trump: "...They want to be politically correct, they want to do it, but there are major problems. There are many people that this should not be done at a high level at a level of general. I think that is a very tricky situation. But on Fox today, they had a women, who is a pilot, top level, very good, really indicating that this is really something that is not going to work out. "

IMO, Trump is going to reverse Obama's direct combat roles for women on the ground. I'm about certain.
I agree 100%.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Although Obammie has scared the boys at the Pentagon into agreeing to allow women in combat, I don’t think it would be wise to make them register for the draft. There are still a lot of ladies in this country who don’t see themselves as Amazon warriors. It isn’t fair to them. IMHO.
So, they just opened the door for women to engage in all activities within the military.
With that being said, let’s go ahead and make it law for all women from the ages of 18 to 35 to register with the Selective Service, as all men must do, and have done since before the Vietnam War.
For any State or Federal job, you MUST have registered, as part of the qualification process for one of those jobs.
Since the 60’s burn your bra days, all these butch women have been pushing for everything equal. So now, prove it!
‘There are still a lot of ladies in this country who don’t see themselves as Amazon warriors. It isn’t fair to them. IMHO.’
I agree but I think women should be required to register for the draft if they are eligible for all positions in the military. Fair is fair.
A lot of those ladies you mentioned are liberals. Requiring draft registration will bring this issue to a head very quickly.
On issue after issue after issue, the guy comes out and expresses our beliefs in public. We have searched for a guy like this for 26 years.
Here he is, expressing our beliefs very loudly in public (more broadly and loudly than any other candidate) and yet some FReepers still can’t grasp that he’s a solid guy.
Damn shame...

Can you see the feminists squeal when they’re forced to register for the draft? Heads exploding everywhere and many taking flight to their safe rooms and daddy and mommy providing the Teddy Bears.
This whole thing is disgrace.
He needs to do so on 21 jan 2017
Girls in combat, on the offensive line, is an idea lokely borne out of wanting the electorate even more opposed to sending the military into battle
I am a girl and have spent much time in combat zones getting shot at
There is no normal reason to send girls on the offensive. They can shoot and defend If some girl wants to do some job for which she can be put to task and perform as well as a man in an attack position and she volunteers, I don’t want to have that argument here
But this is nefarious and we are all becoming quite sick of the social engineering and cultural destruction our heritage is getting destroyed
If all we had to hope for were Jeb they’d have to put us all on antidepressants
Thank you Mr. Trump, sir.
So I guess only western women can carry out military activities. I can swaer the President was mocking some for being afraid of women and orphans...
Yes. . .but the first time they draft someone expect a 14th Amendment challenge. . .and it will succeed.
You simply can’t erase all limitations from women in combat roles and NOT draft them.
Thanks to feminazi’s and girly-boys like obammie and his democRAT cronies, the draft WILL be required to be 50% men and 50% women. . .to be equal and fair.
No kidding! I was in the Army what it still had WACs, Nice to have members of the opposite sex on post, but also niice that they were in their own company, in their own barracks area, protected from harm.
Now the Jug-Eared Kenyan wants everything coed and by the way, first and foremost is sensitivity training, lowering standards and political correctness. Combat Efectiveness is oh, so passe!
The Donald is not the only person who sees “major problems” with women in the military, and even more particularly, with women in combat.
American females are definitely NOT of the same caliber or motivation as the female Kurdish peshmerga fighters, of whom even the most hardened of ISIS fighters have expressed reservations about ever coming face to face with them.
It takes a lot to make anybody over into a merciless killer of the enemy, and the rules of engagement, coupled with a fanatical enemy that seems to welcome even the most death-defying encounters, means that our side would be beaten even before the first shot was fired, should we rely on the participation of females in combat.
I agree.
Hooray for The Donald!
Right now any woman in any Military role volunteered for the job. Why not let them go there and we’ll see what happens.
Maybe those snowflakes need a little Israel handed to them.
I’ve only read headlines on this. Because I expect trump to reverse it a little over a year from now.
But I certainly thought it included tge requirement for girls to register for the draft
Why wouldn’t it?
I think a lot of the women that want women in combat are not willing to be in combat. It takes a lot of money to train a navy seal and I bet that if things were to heat up the three that were given the training and passed would find a excuse not to serve or would serve the bare minimum and get out.
