The big news, at least for some, is that women have been approved for roles in direct combat units…….and the peasants went batcrap crazy at the news….they say that families will be destroyed and other such fears…..
So if we have a draft will women be forced to register?
Well Batman….if they turn 18 then yes they should register for the draft….but then we have some like this tool from the Congress, Duncan Hunter,……..
A key congressional committee voted last week to require young women to register for potentially compulsory military service, but the gender-equalizing reform threatens to make felons out of women who refused to participate.
Though prosecutions currently appear unlikely, men jailed for not registering with the Selective Service System and some former authorities who participated in the cases are concerned about criminalizing a large swath of the population.
Enforcement wasn’t always lax, and the law that may be applied to women allows for five-year prison sentences for “knowing and willful” non-registration with an equally long statute of limitations.

This is so much CRAP! And yes I capitalized it because it is that much crap.
This may be a moot point…..there are some in the Congress that wants to do away with the draft altogether….but I think that is to protect the rich from actually having to serve this country than it is to protect women.
As far as I am concerned……if women are capable of doing the job then they should have the same chances as a man…..as far as the ruination of the family goes….NO one cares that the fathers have to go and the family has survived….the family will survive if women are sent to war.

Well,perhaps I will turn my gun onto the USA foreign policy….
Oh,and the Saudis….
I do include laptop UK in this….
I forget who noted the female of the species was the more dangerous; Kipling, maybe? Anyway, he was at least partially right, in my opinion, for men fear women as much as the other way around, and rightly so, though not for the right reasons. They’re correct about the danger, but, only if they don’t accept their own dangerousness, which makes them stupid. In my experience, men are stupid far more often than women, for they allow their fears to control them more….
So, you’re right, it’s all a moot point, because none of those involved in the issue have any understanding of themselves, or of the opposite gender…. This will not lead to any rational discussion, or results. You can’t begin with false information, and expect to achieve true results. It just doesn’t work that way in this universe.
gigoid, the dubious
You are right…I have already encountered the naysayers over women serving….usually old farts with the mean syndrome…LOl chuq
Congratulations, ladies! You’ve earned the right to die for the US Empire against your will, just like the men. The good news is that you’ll be earning the closest thing there is to $1 to the $1 in America.
Sad way to get equal pay, huh?
I know it’s heresy in this spoiled rotten neo-Millennium, but sometimes you just gotta make sacrifices to get what you want.
Yep
If i weren’t so old; i’d register. Of course i’d be a conscientious objector but i’d still register and serve if called. I HATE WAR but i think women are just a prepared to serve as men….hell women have babies, experience that guys. dru
