As a traditional Christian man, I agree with the call to register every female from 18-45, as every man must. Then, all of the men and women of faith and reason who oppose it must defy the order and make it a national issue.
Otherwise, it is a mess that cannot be fixed- we do not need women in the military let alone combat arms. That said, I have a daughter in the USAF and she knows my position.
As a career retired Army type ( enlisted INF and commissioned Eng), I can attest to the extreme lost days by females of every rank and grade in units I have been assigned to. Female trouble, emotional issues, child care issues, higher rates of injury compared to men- basically I needed to deploy with 3 females for every one assigned IOT have one complete the mission-while requiring excessively more man hours spent processing, transporting and replacing said females.
There is an army study somewhere that approaches this cost factor in similar methodology. Having to have 20-30% more personnel on the rolls to complete the same number of man hours of effort is silly, PC and stupid.
Can women fill non-combat roles in the Army and Marines? What is a non-combat role? A clerk typist in the Army can be assigned to a company- any company- I expect those truck driving females in IRQ c. 2003 thought they would not be shooting to save their lives. And, the outcome was decisive-they lost.
Females are too valuable to expend in combat except in case of direct and over-whelming ground attack of our homeland-non where lese should females deploy, and by extension, none should be in deployable units. Sorry if I offend any serving ladies, but then if you were a male, you wouldn’t get offended, I think.
I did 20 in USAF aircraft maintenance, it's not much better there either.
They can't lift a C-5 CSD & Generator for example, can't handle some of the other heavy lifting, get fatigued more quickly, can't carry a toolbox up a stand to access the engine, and on and on...when pregnant, they immediately go on light duty that precludes working on the shop floor due to hazardous materials and now, with 12 weeks of post birth maternity leave, the unit has lost a body for 1 year.
If any women get offended by this, sorry. Them's the facts.
