The reason the leftists want to draft women has nothing to do with women’s rights- the purpose of the draft is to scare those who might be potential draftees and use their collective voting bloc as a means to both defang the US and keep liberals in power. So this just widens that youth voting bloc to include women and of course moms and dads of daughters.

Notice the left was constantly putting the draft before congress during the Bush years but once Obama was in office they didn’t bring it up.

Because of the born in instinctual mindset of males to protect the female, this could cause the male to not devote his full attention to the matter at hand...Combat...His subconcious could cause him to cost lives by protecting a female soldier...

I learned during basic training that one of the most important duties of a combat soldier is the ability to pick up a 200 lb. person next to you and lead them to safety. ‘Nough said.

Why… are you doing this? Why? Isn’t the military big enough… for both of us? Ha ha ha ha. What is wrong with you people?

We could work together. Why be enemies? Because we’re different? Is that why?

Think of the things that we could do.

Think how strong we would be. Male marines… and female marines… and transvestite marines… Together.

There is nothing that we could not accomplish. Think about it. Think about it.

Why win a war… when you can wet your wick? We can have it all, or we can smash it all.

Why can’t we… work out our differences? Why can’t we… work things out?

Little people… why can’t we all just… get along?

My guess is a large number of people really believe the image portrayed in the media of the small delicate girl who easily whips highly trained special forces guys.

Often they are portrayed as “warrior princesses”.

They have seen it repeated so often that they actually think it is the real world.

This is typical of the Lib/Socialist play book

Run something up the flagpole, see who salutes OR MORE IMPORTANTLY see who doesn’t give a rats arse.

Keep snipping away and swoop in finally with the hammer drop and enough people are now saying ‘oh that would be fine’.

Happened with smoking, seat belts, and the majority of these punitive PIAs laws and rules.

When they started this BS years ago My suggestion was WE all stand up and demand they get drafted immediately.

The ‘MEN’ of the time would have objected to their little girl being drafted - we didn’t fight many wars to subject our daughters to this BS.....

Now, as this mindset is slowly dying off and the newbies have been indoctrinated to ‘this is a good idea’, ‘WE’ are labeled sexists and dinosaurs for not being enlightened enough to accept change,

Women prisoners of war will be raped repeatedly, violently and it will make its way to social media. Thus far it has been well covered up, but most women prisoners in the middle east wars were brutally raped. Did you know that? I don’t care maybe they liked it, but I find that hard to believe.

Good Psyops for the nation. I’d like to see the look on GI Janes, Liberal Democrat mom and dads face as Jane is passed around the Moslem platoon, on a Youtube video.

This is a great article. I like how it uses metaphors and sarcasm to drive home it’s points.

This isn't necessary a bad thing. We would be less likely to intervene in places like Iraq and Afghanistan with a crap military.

When a real war breaks out (e.g. Civil War) things would change.

The poor deceived princesses will know the truth about their superpowers the very first time that they get punched in the kidney.

Foreign policy was run by a failed fiction writer, so there’s some consistency.

the purpose of the draft is to scare those ////

Disagree

This is the last step in the process to make a woman eligible for CJCS

Overall, I have every confidence that I am every bit as capable as a man. Overall.

But ... I recognize that many of the areas in which my capability exceeds a man’s are equaled by areas in which your average man’s capability exceeds mine. Some of these differences are based on individual talent and capability, but many are based on gender (the old-fashioned definition of it... biological gender), and nothing I can do can change that, nor would I want to.

I’m a lot more flexible than the average man. I have great fine motor control. My disease resistance is a bit higher, and some of my senses (particularly smell) are better, because I am female.

But a man, as a rule, is going to be MUCH stronger, have faster reflexes, greater endurance, greater aggressiveness, greater ability to ‘soldier on’ in demanding physical situations with less injury and be of greater use to his comrades and the mission. In a combat situation, I would do my best not to be a liability, but I have little doubt that as a whole, a man in my position would do better.

If my more feminist sisters want to bang the drum and say they’re the equal of men in any way you want to measure, that’s their right. But I feel that when lives.... other peoples’ lives... are on the line, they need to either face up to reality or just be told to shush.

My theory is that because girls only compete with males in settings where they are on a real (school/classroom) or created (business) equal footing with males, coupled with the constant “warrior princess” portrayals they see, that they don’t even realize anymore how much stronger and more physically explosive and violent men are than them, to say nothing of the psychological and chemical/hormonal differences that make men all-around better warriors. Of course, males boots will be expected to “play fair,” and males will pick up princess’s slack on deployments, and GI Jane might no be forced to stare reality in the face until it’s already too late.

When this happens, the Hollywood producers, the feminists and the cultural Marxists who were responsible for forcing the nation’s women to experience the horrors of ground combat will scratch their heads and wonder why reality is so much different from their imaginary ideas of women in combat.

Sorry to tell you this but actually they won't give a damn. For Leftist ideology is always far more important than any human suffering which results.
