Don’t we register for the draft when we become 18?

I thought that’s what I did....

There is a Supreme Court decision that states that the reason only men have to register for the draft is because only men could serve in frontline combat units.

This is no longer the case, so in the interests of fairness, women should be required to register for the draft.

If they don’t like it, they should have thought about that before demanding to be let into frontline combat units. Equal rights means equal responsibilities.

I think there’s a difference between Selective Service registration, and a ‘draft’.
