What kind of nation drafts women and sends them to war?
US Defense Watch ^ | May 2, 2016 | Ray Starmann

A nation that drafts women and sends them to war is in its death throes.

A nation that drafts women and sends them to war has lost its moral compass.

What kind of nation subjects mothers, daughters, wives and sisters to a military draft where they could be placed in a direct ground combat unit?

It is a nation that is spiritually bankrupt; spent, doomed and with military and civilian leaders who are either uninformed, desperate, cowards or all three.

The naysayers will state that the Soviet Union had women in combat in World War II, particularly as snipers. Yes, they did. The Soviet Union was also in mortal peril as the German Army rolled through the country in the Summer of 1941. On December 2nd, a German reconnaissance battalion reached the village of Khimki, just five miles from Moscow. The Kremlin could be seen in the distance. Then, it started snowing, the temperatures dropped to 35 below zero and Stalin counter-attacked.

Finland utilized women in Anti-Aircraft units during the Winter War in 1939-1940, after the Soviet Union invaded the country. One of those women was my former German professor at Southern Methodist University, Dr. Margareta Deschner.

Women served in direct ground combat units of the IDF during the Six Day War in 1967. The IDF had so many problems with women in direct ground combat organizations that they were pulled out of the units after the war and then used as instructors. In 2000, Israeli social engineers forced women back in the combat arms of the IDF. Today, women make up about 3% of the combat arms and serve in several battalions that are comprised of 75% females. Apparently, problems with women in these units has been covered up by the Israeli government as reported by Arutz Sheva.

On April 27, the United State House of Representatives’ Armed Services Committee voted to back an amendment that would require women to register with the Selective Service within 30 days of turning 18 years of age, as all men must currently do.

This means that if Congress ever brings back the draft, women will be forcibly sent to war and possibly be assigned to combat arms units, aka the infantry, armor, armored cavalry, artillery.

The amendment is a response to the Pentagon’s decision to allow women to serve in combat. Supporters of drafting women point out that the ban on women in combat was the reason the Supreme Court upheld a male-only draft. Therefore, they argue, it is only logical to now force women to register for Selective Service.

The U.S. House at large will vote on the Act in May 2016, which was approved by the committee 60-2 on April 28.

Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D., CA) supported the policy change: “I actually think if we want equality in this country, if we want women to be treated precisely like men are treated and that they should not be discriminated against, we should be willing to support a universal conscription.”

Except for a few crusaders, such as Congressman Duncan Hunter, a Marine Corps vet, who served in Iraq, Congress is largely supportive of the idea of drafting women.

In all honesty, Congress doesn’t really care or understand the issue; why should they? Most of Congress has never served a day in uniform.

The Joint Chiefs don’t care. They traded their souls for benefits and defense contractor jobs years ago. When the Army Chief of Staff, a Green Beret, tells the world we need to draft women, you know the end is near.

I will say it as plain as day; the senior leadership of the United States Military is the biggest collection of sycophants and moral cowards that this nation has ever placed in the Pentagon or the War Department or in a tent, 240 years ago with General Washington.

The American people don’t care. Why should they? Most Americans have never served a day in uniform and have no clue about what is happening. Most Americans have the attention span of a fruit fly and are focused on how many “Likes” they’re getting on Facebook. Most Americans think serving your country is tantamount to standing at attention with a bucket of KFC while the National Anthem is belted out by Carrie Underwood before the Daytona 500.

Furthermore, American men aren’t exactly swaggering images of John Wayne these days. They’re none too happy to send their women to war, and that speaks volumes about the decrepit state of the nation.

Why would the United States ever need to draft women, when the country has millions and millions of men to call up, should a national security emergency arise?

Unfortunately, real war is nothing like the allusions presented by Hollywood, which showcase some pint size, anorexic female cop beating the daylights out of six gang bangers on the streets of LA: or Demi Moore pretending that she’s made it through NAVY SEAL training, aka BUD/s, aka Hell on Earth: or some Game of Thrones chick wielding a 100 pound sword with the aplomb of Ivanhoe as she lays waste to hordes of marauding men.

It’s all a make believe land and now the fantasy of women in direct combat ground units and special ops is going to be played out for real.

The delusion will continue unabated to the moment the first rounds go down range in the next war. When the body bags of young American girls are stacked like cord wood, maybe the people will finally awaken.

The supporters that want to draft women are feminists and left wing loonies who will be conveniently out of danger when the women they sent to war are shot, shredded and blown up like cardboard pop up targets.

The US Military is quickly heading for a Goetterdammerung, a Downfall of the Gods, aka total destruction as with Nazi Germany in 1945. Social engineering and moral cowardice is dooming us to obliteration. We are going to smile and lie and rationalize are way to the charnel house.

The only thing that can stop the imminent destruction of the US Military is a President Trump or Cruz. If Hillary wins, start learning Russian or Chinese and brush up on your Farci.

If women don’t have the physical strength to participate in the NFL, why are we sending them to ground combat units, where physical strength and endurance are the basic tenets of survival in war?

The answer is simple: the NFL runs on a profit motive. The military has no profit incentives and is therefore the new playground of the cultural Marxists.

What kind of nation drafts women and sends them to war? Take a look around and you’ll have a pretty good idea.

Ok.

And HERE COMES the “you’re gay” snark.

Predictable as you inability to actually answer a question.

And frankly the only people that use “gaydar” are homos, and the middle-aged women that hang out with them. So you may want to look into that.

Here’s your clue: no normal man refers to women with the crudity and obvious hatred that you do without being a homosexual or at least one of poor souls who never got lucky and never will.

You’ve slipped your gears a long time ago and now you insist on polluting a conservative site with your ravings.

Seek. Help.

“I am sure most democrats agree with you 100%”

No. Most Democrats are cool with the system of females voting and you going.

It’s called feminism.

I want them to either be in the system or give up that sweet ballot.

No cake and the ability to eat it too for the precious little snowflakes.

You know, back 120 years ago when sane men ran the nation?

Now put what I actually want to a Democrat, and get back to me on how much they like it.

I had an acquaintance in the Army who was so in fear of going into her all female barracks that she spent most of her free time walking around the kasernes and doing anything she could to avoid entering that place.

She was a pretty blue eyed blonde girl told me about her problems with the Dykes constantly harassing her in the women's facility. She was clearly living in fear. I even talked to her once while she very distraught and weeping openly on military property. Nobody in authority would help her.

I ran into her once in a while and she seemed always stressed.

The last time that I saw her, she told me that she was ETSing because she got herself pregnant and opted for the Honorable.

There are a million stories out there.

Actually, Robert Heinlein expressed some similar sentiments in ‘Starship Troopers. Not the movie, the book.

Might consider reading that one and it is not really that long, IMO.

"Here’s your clue: no normal man refers to women with the crudity and obvious hatred"

Nooooo, of course not. Real "men" like you look at this:



And get turned on, and wonder what you can do to protect and serve that, right?

Frankly simps like you are the reason why we have this. You wuss out in front of the first sets of boobs because you rather take a bullet to the head than dare snatch back western civilization from these freaks, because the women in your life wont stand for it anymore than these loons. Then you just hide it behind some baloney like "protecting the womens", and then have the damn nerve to try to couch anyone that questions this screwed-up arrangement as "gay", because you refuse to look in the mirror and see that it is in fact you that have your stones in some girl's purse.

“He’s probably going to go tell his mom on us.”

Nope. My mom is from a time and place where this was understood. They voted the way their husbands did or they didn’t because that was men’s business.

But I’m sure you two checked with your moms, daughters, and wives to make sure nothing you say upsets them, that’s for sure.

Yup, you’re seriously unbalanced. Had no idea we had people like you on the FreeRepublic but here you are.

You really do need professional help before you hurt yourself or someone else.

“Yup, you’re seriously unbalanced. Had no idea we had people like you on the FreeRepublic but here you are.”

Are you ever going to get around to address my original question, or are you going to keep dodging?

I debate hard-core leftists so your sad attempts at trying to go on tangents (or these infantile shaming attempts) is like amateur hour for me.

One of the clearest examples that modern "liberalism," is a war on reality, is the egalitarian need to deny the importance of sex roles & sexuality. The consequences, as with every other form of compulsion driven egalitarianism, are very unfortunate. Feminist Delusion.

When you trash sex roles, you trash both men & women, most of whom find their fulfillment in pursuits that come naturally. Put another way, Feminism is an assault on the feminine woman. Traditional sex roles inspire what is best in most people. And on the subject of military service, it is in the traditional (Chivalric) understanding that men should protect the women & children, that the highest aspirations are inspired.

Answered your question a long time ago - but in your illness, you wouldn’t care one way or another. Your hatred of women is far beyond unbalanced - you seem to range into “should be watched by law enforcement before he hurts someone” category.

Sick puppy.

No you didn’t.

Not only are you too much of a coward to answer what I asked, but you are a liar to boot!

And then you go right back on that tangent. I can tell that your wife has you trained.
