Equal rights come with equal responsibilities.

Boss babes can carry the mortar plate and the SAW. Let them walk point too.

I agree. I Don’t want my granddaughters drafted.
Few women are fit for physical combat.
For sure never under a democrat.

They can draft the trannys.
They are woman hear them roar

It’s bad to do it to men and I think it’s forbidden by the constitution. But it’s flat ass evil to do it to women. It would be hard to invent a method of further fracturing the family structures in America, and preventing new ones from appearing.
It’s also completely ineffective. Three or four years ago with the Marine Corps created two infantry companies. One of males, one of females. In every objective measure, endurance, marksmanship, injuries, sick call rate, mission objectives achieved, the males were utterly superior.

Furthermore that congresswoman Houlahan is another of those damn Ukrainians. So of course she wants to draft American kids both male and female to go fight for sacred Ukraine.

BTW, for historical purposes the men who wrote the draft provision came at a time where only males-property owners could vote.

When the Constitution was written and adopted, some states allowed women and blacks to vote.

The amendment to the Constitution was needed to restore the rights the Democrats took that away from them in the early 1800s.

Men, on the other hand, could only vote if they owned property or joined the militia.

“Democrats are evil, but Republicans are pushing this harder than Democrats”

If I recall correctly, during one the 2016 Republican primary debates the candidates were asked about drafting women and all but one of the Rs raised their hand signifying they were for it.

Rubio specifically was for the stupid idea.

In every objective measure...

Objective measures? Dats racist and sexist.

The draft is unconstitutional but let's draft Houlahan, Nuland, Nimrata Haley, and the rest of the XX warmongers and let them go fight in Ukraine.

The Kryptonite of accountability will prevent them from doing that.

Oh, good! Real good!

I do wonder what kind of training they will receive for being captured by the alpha males fighting on the other side.

You are an ornery person for a FR newbie. I like your style.
I’ve never before (I think) commented on my active duty time.

I was 140-145 lb soaking wet and company grade officer. When supported by heavy weapons, I made it a point to hump the 81 mm baseplate. Thank god I had an RTO. I think my load was between 60 and 80 lbs minimum.

I understand that has increased by ca 20 lbs + rucksack in todays infantry.

https://www.cnas.org/publications/reports/the-soldiers-heavy-load-1

For as long as i could get away with it, an M14 and my private Colt LW Commander.

Then I got back to my MOS and did mostly TDY in Asia, S and Central America, and Germany.

Knees paid a price, and I’m probably getting lumbar spine work in a few months. Hell, I’m young at 75.

Cue the FreeRepublic "let's have women serve instead of me" chorus.

Leaving their Man Card in the trash, so to speak.

"The soldiers serving under General Washington were paid volunteers"

Really? When did they finally get paid?

It doesn’t matter to you if we lose the war and America becomes a part of the conquerors country?

It’s not a man card ticket punch to go serve the DC agenda at this point. Serving in their rich man’s and neocon wars for power and profit is not a sign of intelligence.
If America was at stake, different thing. But to help the children of Uke immigrants get revenge for 1930S and 40s era USSR depredations?

Nope.... and nothing but a family hating psycho would put women in there.

Lose what war? The only invasion I see is at the southern border, and DC sides with the enemy there.

Thank you for this sane post!
My daughter has a good female friend who served in the army and experienced abuse and rape during her service. It is high probability and to me as a woman an unacceptable risk. I would go to battle any of these ahole political bturds if they try to put my grand daughters in danger!

War is over and there is no threat of ever losing America to an enemy? I don’t think so.

It wasn't pretty and many were shortchanged but soldiers in the American Revolution were paid - some in foreign currency, some in promissory notes, some in land, etc.
