Women have no place in the military unless it’s in the medics.
How about NOT bring back the draft at all? (Unless it’s for a WWII-type crisis, when every swinging Richard and Jane gets called.)
The primary purpose of a draft is to avoid the mess we are in, it is to supply the military with young fighting men, which kept us from having to seek women and even 42 year old grandmothers to fill our ranks, as we have had to do in the post draft era.
We wouldn’t draft to get in more women, we would draft, to keep out women, and to return to the 2% female cap, and their work limited to legal, finance, and medical.
The draft is a miserable idea. We don’t need the draft. We have a fantastic volunteer military.
we can go back to a draft if Mexico every formally invades oh wait they already have. :-)
Here’s a novel idea.
Bring the troops home.
Bring them home from japan, germany, and every other place that is not an embassy or consulate.
If the Now crowd wants real Equality women HAVE to sign up for the Draft.(however daft that is..)
So either the Gloria Steinems of this country have to sign up or I’m burning my draft card(actually too old now but only symbolism counts nowadays, right?)
I’m dead set against women in combat including submarine service. But IF the draft is ever brought back, there’s no way women won’t be included.
They have a way out, get pregnant. I understand about 10% in the Navy do just that.
I’m against the draft.
