WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Senate’s version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) includes a provision that would require women to register for Selective Service, marking a significant potential change in military policy.
On page three of the NDAA, under the heading of “Strengthening the Joint Force and Defense Workforce,” the Military Selective Service Act would be amended to require the registration of women for Selective Service.
While some lawmakers oppose the measure, others argue it would benefit the government. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) voiced his concerns during a committee meeting.
“I just think it’s wrong to say to women, ‘We’re going to involuntarily put you in the military.’ If they want to join voluntarily, that’s fantastic,” he said. “My sister proudly served in the United States Navy. There are so many women in the armed forces doing terrific work. Women have been part of the military since its founding, and that’s awesome. But that’s not what we’re talking about. They’re talking about drafting women involuntarily, and I’m totally opposed to that. I’m also worried about the expansion of the draft.”
In contrast, Congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) supports the amendment.
“This amendment would purely cut the government red tape that exists and allow an important government office to be more efficient and save money for more American taxpayers,” she said.
The NDAA also includes a 4.5% raise for military members and a 2% raise for Department of Defense civilian workers.
Former first son Donald Trump Jr. criticized the move, stating, “Democrats want to draft your daughters to fight the wars that no one in America outside of the military industrial complex wants to be in.”

They scream for equal rights, you’ve got it.
What is a woman? Only a biologist knows for sure.
Thank you Joe and all Democrats!
The plan is to send all young legacy US citizens to Ukraine to die because their replacements are streaming across the border.
Absolutely. We need more Jessica Lynch’s in combat
If they’re even biological women to begin with.
A good idea. As administrative support and supply types. As trigger pullers, no.
Well said.
“”allow an important government office to be more efficient and save money for more American taxpayers””
The military is NOW a government office or do they mean the Selective Service office? Why not just get rid of a government office that isn’t needed instead of finding more ways to spend OUR money!!! What a dumping ground it would become for the misfits if this was to happen!!!!!
Exactly. If token Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Onyika Brown Jackson states she doesn't know what a woman is because she's not a biologist, no woman can claim exemption from the draft.
These liars and propagandists scream that "The Patriarchy" is oppressive when the truth is we live in a Matriarchy - which is exactly what those of matriarchal societies want.
You've come a long way, baby!
I wonder how many trans women are of draft age? Could this be one of the triggers for the transition?
Absolutely not. Draft them into every and all positions. They insist they're "boss babes".
Well, it’s only right. Maybe we can get all of these snowflake, freaky hair color, pierced freak jobs all on the front line...... and I’m a woman!
Bullshit. Women are not as good for soldiering as men. People who write his daughter to be a female, young women who just want to get married and have a family have no business being forced into war slavery. And before someone chimes in and says you can use them for admin, or hospitals at Cetera, it’s forbidden by law that any MOS is male only. The canon will be put in the infantry. I have nothing but contempt for a nation that does this. And of course it would be advanced by a female Air Force officer. That’s the main thing driving this. Female officers want increase numbers of females in the service to help with their career progression. It’s filthy.
Equal rights come with equal responsibilities.
