Don’t Let Hillary Draft Your Daughter
Townhall ^ | December 28, 2015 | Katie Kieffer

For over 40 years, Hillary Clinton has been pushing to put women in combat and now she’s close to succeeding—whether women like it or not.

Your daughter or granddaughter could soon be compelled to register with the Selective Service at the age of 18 alongside all American males. Today, I’ll share what you need to know to confront Hillary and Obama’s unconstitutional and unscientific approach to fighting the phony War on Women and the real War on ISIS.

In 1975, at the age of 27, Hillary was the newly-married wife of Bill Clinton and a law school teacher when she claims to have been rejected by a Marine Corps recruiter because of her age and because “you're a woman.”

The New York Times reported in 1994 that Hillary: “said that ‘it was not an isolated situation’ for women to be turned away by military recruiters. And she lauded efforts to bring women into more aspects of military service.” Translation: Hillary thinks a woman’s place is on the front lines.

Despite the fact that she was zealously anti-war as a college student, Hillary continues to bemoan the fact that the Marines shunned her. You begin to suspect that her story is a political ploy to make female voters think she is pro-woman....

If women are taking up non combat slots in deployable military occupational specialties then they need to also be in combat , and they need to be part of the draft pool.

Period.

But taking up stateside billets so combat troops can’t catch a break between war zone deployments needs to end.

If you want to advocate rationality and remove women from those career fields altogether fine. Veterans can support that.

But keeping the same Gloria Steinem crap going on?
Hell no.
You aren’t advocating morality or military expediency. You are trying to hang on to stupid BS that you liked.

In the “all volunteer” era, they can get away with it. But not under conscription. The Vietnam War protests ended that once and for all.

My advice to you is to learn a little about the opinion of the person you are debating with before you start lobbing literary grenades at them. In my case, you are way off the mark and I find your assumptions to be grossly offensive.

I get that you’d like to stick it in the eye of the feminist movement. I would too, but women don’t belong in combat and, unless we want to mentally, emotionally and psychologically crush large numbers of young American women, my daughter included, we have no business drafting them. It’ll also likely leave large numbers of children wards of the state.

Sorry, I won’t support the draft for women. You’ll have to find some other way to get back at Gloria Steinem and her ilk.

Don’t let ANYONE draft your daughter ! Let’s not extend this stupid and un-American practice to females as well.

Military service should be 100% voluntary. A free country does not need a slave army !

Hillery was rejected because she could not pass the records check if this story has any truth at all.

Women have fought for this. Now it is at the door. Be careful what you wish for girls.
