The White House and the Pentagon on Thursday respectively announced support for requiring women in the U.S. to register for the military draft when they turn 18, USA Today reports.
The announcement makes Barack Obama the first president since Jimmy Carter to endorse universal registration for the Selective Service. The White House previously was pretty neutral on the subject, but in a new statement to USA Today, Ned Price, a spokesman for the National Security Council, revealed the administration had changed its stance:
“As old barriers for military service are being removed, the administration supports — as a logical next step — women registering for the Selective Service.”
The Pentagon echoed Obama’s support, with spokesman Peter Cook saying in a statement, “It makes sense for women to register for Selective Service just as men must.”
The statement came the day before the House of Representatives is set to vote on a defense bill that would remove a provision that passed the Senate to add women to the draft, according to USA Today. Instead, a compromise version wants a commission to investigate whether women should be included in the Selective Service or if the draft should even exist.
Obama apparently supports an all-volunteer military force and has no intention to reinstate the draft. Instead, the White House hopes to demonstrate gender equality in the armed services and to foster a sense of public service by requiring women to register.
That way he knows we’ll surrender to his Caliphate the minute women start coming home in body bags.
His 2 daughters should be the first to sign up. Send their twerking butts straight to Allepo
I agree unless we get these women OUT OF COMBAT. They have no place there!! Great nurses for our wounded!
No women in combat units. No freaks, fairies, and pervs too.
Fine.
Start with the 2 snarling Mini-Mooches that bear his name.
Here’s an entire document created for TRANSGENDERS in the military:
Time to put out to pasture anyone that worked on this or thought it was a good idea.
PURGE all these Obama freaks from our military and get back to WINNING wars, President Trump!
wow ! sasha and mali a are right around that age maybe they can be first to sign up?
You are working under the mistaken thought that he cares about them.
I think Bill Clinton cared more about his dog, and that thing was gone as soon as it wasn’t politically advantageous.
I think the new Commander in Chief will have something to say about this.
lead by example, so sign his daughters up.
On his last legs on the presidency. LOL!
Well, Marxist ladies! It’s time to SERVE! Just like the dudes. And don’t expect ANY special treatment. Period. Oh, did I say ‘period’? LOL!
guy is f’n crazy

...and he’s been texting with Reggie again as the end of his term draws nigh.
Wanting to destroy as much as he can touch.
War on Wimminz!
The girls will fight the wars while the Pajama Boys stay back home and make hot chocolate.
The_Donald over on Reddit made dozens of class memes about this. “IT’S HER TURN” with women going off to fight in wars. Classic. Turned a lot of college aged females against Hillary.
Except they are “Syphilis and Malaria” and may be detrimental to the troops.
A politically correct military.
ISIS will be so impressed!
The purpose of our military is to protect our women, not to put them into harm’s way.
If you look at “World Star Hip Hop”.....already happening. Can’t imagine being a child to these cretinous ‘women’.
