You don’t have any daughters do you ?

Would you want them raped by their superiors ?
In draft time they take men you would NOT want near your daughter and they will out rank them . Let me clue you in on something right now even all volunteer there are plenty of men in there you would not want your daughter to serve under .

You want to know what children raised by PSTD mom’s that don’t come out of it looks like ? Take a good look at any getto

I’m saying this as someone who comes from a military family and someone who has done plenty of volunteer work with PSTD vets.

Your arguments are completely unconvincing.

[[Your arguments are completely unconvincing.]]

So since you didn’t answer the question about having a daughter I’ll take it as a no.

Got a son ? Hope he is ready to raise your grandchildren all by himself if their mother is forced into that type of situation.

I took it as a rhetorical question...of course I wouldn’t want my daughter raped by her superiors.

Sure. Personally, I think God’s opinion counts. That is why I put the reference.

Then why would you want to force her into that situation ?

Why would you want to force her into a situation where she would have someone like Obama as her commander in chief ?

Just because some women are feminist is no reason to punish those who are not .

Draft isn’t any good anyway , not even for males .
Most men forced into service do not have what it takes to be able to shoot someone (take a look at battle records from WWII and they prove my point )

The whole argument for including women in the draft comes from a very leftist agenda . They want it because what they want is to turn the military into a national police force .
Conservatives should not be siding with them on this .

Again I am not against women serving in the military when it is their choice . None of them belong in combat units though .

I learned a lot about life when I was in the Navy. And I saw a lot of things most humans never, ever get to see.

It is the military’s job to win!
You don’t take your star NBA player out and replace him with a WNBA player. She may be good, but your team is going to lose.

I have had a front row seat to several of the firsts when it came to integrating women into the Air Force. Every time it was a disaster that was painted over so many times that it appeared shiny on the outside. Two mistakes women made in pilot training nearly cost me my life.

Each time the standards had to be lowered and lowered some more so that the women could make it through and the program be deemed a success. I was supportive the first time around when they said nothing will change. That was a big lie. Fool me once.

On a good note, they make excellent intel officers.
