Amendment Passes to Make Women Register for Draft

April 28, 2016
 

The House Armed Services Committee narrowly approved a measure that would require women to register for the Selective Service. This enables women to be drafted into the military if a draft was ever called, American Military News reported.

The current law only requires men between the ages of 18 and 26 to register for the military draft through the Selective Service program. Women have not had to register for the draft because not all military positions were available to women. However, there has been increased pressure to treat women as equal to men in the military.

ADVERTISING

Congressman and Marine Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) served three combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and introduced the measure as a way to get people talking about the issue. He initially did not think it would pass — and it barely did, American Military News reported.

It passed by only two votes, 32-30.

However, Rep. Hunter said he opposes the idea of adding women to the draft. He’s also opposed to opening infantry and special operations positions to women.

Congressmen Joe Heck (R-Nev.), Chris Gibson (R-N.Y.) and McSally (R-Ariz.), all also Iraq War veterans, support including women in the draft and Selective Service.

The last draft was in 1973.

No no and no. I don't agree with this at all. If women want to volunteer for combat, then fine. But I don't agree with drafting women. It isn't necessary.

 I am not in favor of this--but they can't have it both ways.  If they want to be in combat roles and do everything the men do--then they have to have the same responsibility as men to be drafted if it comes to that.

I have to agree with Husker. I don't favor this, either. But, equal can't be only when it benefits women to be so. It has to be across the board for it to really be equal. Unfortunately, that includes the less favorable parts as well.

   Not sure what you mean by "having it both ways".   Yes women can be in roles that men were in traditionally.   But, are women as physically strong as men?  No.

I'm really surprised it has taken this long.

This is result of feminism.

Let's see how quick the feminazis start belly aching.

 I don't know how it can be more clear.  If they are fit for all roles in the military and they want those doors open because it will benefit them--then they have to be eligible to be drafted even though that might not benefit them.

Women can vote, they can own property. That wasn't always the case.

 But now that is the case--and the feminazis keep dreaming up crap to get offended about--when they live in Western Society which is more egalitarian and fair to women than any society throughout history.

I am a huge feminist and I think this is amazing news. If the purpose is equality then let's truly be equal! I think it's great!!

I doubt this will do ANY good:

There's a difference between a feminazi and a feminist.

A feminist is someone who supports womens' rights. Simple as that. Thinks girls in poorer countries should go to school, is opposed to those music videos that consist of like, three minutes of boob shots, etc. Equality is cool, guys. Feminism is cool.

A feminazi is not a feminist. Feminists believe in equal rights for us, feminazis just make us look stupid. Feminazis believe that all men are idiots, wearing a bra is a symbol of oppression (personally I find bras comfortable), shaving our legs is apparently showing that we GIVE INTO MALE PRESSURE TO BE ATTRACTIVE HOLY ****, snowmen must be called "snowpeople", and that any song that mentions a girl is supporting rape or whatever.

Israel has had compulsory service for many years now--not the draft, per se, but believe theirs is a good system

 I think I could support a 2 year service for all high school graduates. 

I think it could be a really good thing.

 Of course, but then again, you're in Canada. None of this applies to you.

Question; has anyone found a web site where the ultra feminists are in support of this bill?

I bet not.

I just googled it and several sites came up. (feminist)

Most support it.

I don't favor women in combat roles. But as long as they want the option to be in them, they should be eligible for the draft. It's not "equality" if it isn't the same for everyone.
