If it becomes necessary to reinstate the draft we will be in dire straits. It makes no sense to exempt half of the population from being required to “pay the rent” in an extreme emergency. Putting women in Selective Service rolls would just speed up the process in an emergency.
I do not think women belong in combat and most would not want to be. I’m just saying equality works both ways. You can’t pick and choose where you want to be “equal”.
My attitude comes from generations of my family spending their lives serving this nation. I expect nothing less from the next generation.
Then you should know that drafts are used to populate combat arms units for the simple reason that when people see Mass casualties being taken by combat arms units enlistees gravitate away from 11B.
So what are you going to do with all of those women you were forced to draft because you sure as hell ain’t making shooters out of 99.99% of them?
