The most disappointing moment of Saturday night’s debate came when Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, and Marco Rubio each embraced the idea that women should register with the selective service, making it possible for America to draft women into ground combat. The argument for registration is based on the new Pentagon policy opening up all combat jobs to women. Women have served in non-combat roles for decades without any serious push for selective-service registration ensuing. In fact, the Supreme Court, in Rostker v. Goldberg (1981), has used the fact that men and women have different roles as justification for rejecting constitutional objections to the all-male draft. We have repeatedly condemned the Obama administration’s decision to open all combat roles to women, and we have mainly done so by citing a combination of contemporary studies and historical experience to make the case that gender-integrated ground-combat units are less effective than their all-male counterparts. But that is not the only argument. Indeed, there are other fundamental reasons to oppose not just the presence of women in the infantry but their forcible conscription into its ranks. Such a policy inverts natural law and the rules that have grounded our civilization for thousands of years.

Yeah, let’s delay that child bearing in a country that has a government importing 3rd worlders because its own citizens refuse to reproduce. And let’s get those women killed in warfare to continue the depopulation of middle class and working-class Americans - that’ll work to improve the country!
Yeah, I can see that!
See the picture above, read story below - there is no way a woman can compete on the battlefield under combat arms.

Those other arguments are for non-combat jobs, to work, to get paid; it is not a matter of staying home or being in the military - this is about living or dying, your life or your death and those around you.
You do realize that the biggest push for women in combat roles are coming from women in the service, mainly officers, who feel that they are being overlooked for promotion because they lack combat experience.
But there were no women in the trenches on the western front which is where the women in combat arms will serve. The Soviets were not that stupid.
I like the one on the right in the boonie hat. She’s flashing her magazine well at me.
I have an idea. Make the women register too. Each year, draft a few hundred of both/all genders. Use as one of the selectors those who took notsh!t majors in college and are behind in repaying their school loans. STEM majors are 4F.
Good morning, Miss Marmelstein... in fine form, I see.
But seriously here, I’m not referring to an entire career... perhaps a two-year stint in the military at age 18 or so. I hardly see how that depopulates the middle class, destroys the country, ends mankind, etc.
yes they were. Where does a field medic serve, on the front line and in the trenches. The only difference between a soviet female field medic and a soviet male infantryman was one had a medical kit, the other a papasha. The risk of death at the hands of the Germans was the same. When the infantry went over the top, the field medics went also.
Unhuh
You fail to address the merits of the argument, much less present a cogent one of your own. WTH is wrong with doing a 2-year stint at age 18 or so?
How about I go with your approach.... You hate the military, don’t you? You want it to be undermanned and weakened, don’t you? See how the hyperbole works?
Of course, you don’t. Because you’re just popping off without thinking the situation through. We need more childbearing by younger women - not putting off childbearing so that middle-class white women can satisfy some sick political agenda.
It’s all about the big federal government controlling the citizenry.
Next they will be saying who can have children and when and how many.
And the society with no moral compass will go along with it because the government is God and knows best.
Yet you still fail to address my question... why is it wrong to wait until the early 20s after serving a short stint in the military? Think it through, MM, and give a real answer this time.
That is because we have two very broad oceans on either side of us and two very weak nations to the North an the South. We are very well insulated from direct invasion.
The Soviets and Israelis are not that fortunate. They had to employ women in large numbers to maintain their very existence. I suspect that should we ever have to face that dire a circumstance a lot of traditional male only military positions would fall by the wayside.
See post #17 from BuckeyeMcFrog
Not to worry , all the women who are captured will soon be bearing children although not willingly.
Yes, we already are a barbaric nation.
