I assume all 18+ yo women must register for the Draft, effective immediately.
Obama is destroying this nation. Will we recover?
Really?
I watched US Army guys give up egress ad regress in a tracked vehicle to give a gal who had just given birth a “Special place to sleep”
Compromising the mission.
Then I watched 2 shifts of 2 men shuttle breast milk for the baby across lines taking away assets and compromising the mission.
What could go wrong?
It’s the same liberal Greek tragedy that is playing over and over-bumbling into an institution, like the economy, foreign policy or national security, without understanding what’s going on, then applying social experiments intended to satisfy some weird concept of justice or equity, and the law of unintended consequences engenders disaster after disaster. Benghazi, unemployment, Fast and Furious, deficit spending, manipulation of health care, obsequious foreign policy, submission to Islam, emasculation of the military-the Perfect Storm of the self immolation of America.
In (if I remember the year correctly) 1994, the (communist) ACLU filed suit in federal court to argue that women should be required to register for military draft (”Selective Service”) just as men.
It went to the Supreme Court, which ruled that this issue should be decided by Congress and not by the courts.
The court said that for Congress to make exemptions for women from registering with Selective Service was not a violation of the Constitution ; that the purpose for “Selective Service” was to provide combat troops.
Therefore, according to the Court, if Congress makes exemption for women from serving in combat, then it could also exempt women from registering for Selective Service . . . . but it is up to Congress, not the courts.
In other words, any movement that wants women to serve just as men serve, could keep pressuring and pressuring Congress to remove all distinctions and require women to serve in combat, thus require them to register with Selective Service.
Congress has made no requirement for women to serve in combat to date ; Congress would have to REQUIRE women to serve in combat roles (not merely allow them to do so) in order to require women to register with Selective Service.
THE PURPOSE FOR SELECTIVE SERVICE IS SPECIFICALLY TO PROVIDE COMBAT TROOPS.
The Secretary of Defense can NOT REQUIRE women to serve in combat ; Congress must make this decision, according to the Supreme Court's most recent decision in these matters.
THEREFORE-—IT IS IMPORTANT FOR CHRISTIAN FAMILIES TO WRITE TO THERE CONGRESS MEMBERS-—TELL THEM WHY GOD GAVE US OUR DAUGHTERS (1 Corinthians chs. 7 ; 11 ; Ephesians ch. 5 ; Titus ch. 2 ; etc., etc. TELL THEM THAT IT IS WRONG FOR OUR WOMEN TO BE IN COMBAT, WRONG TO REGISTER WITH SELECTIVE SERVICE, WRONG TO BE IN THE MILITARY TO BEGIN WITH.
Much of Obama’s last campaign was based on the Republicans War on Women baloney. Same must have caught on with Obama as he’s now going to send them all on to the front lines to fight. But they’ll all still be provided with free birth control drugs etc.?
I suspect this isn’t about military effectiveness or even so much about enlisted women having the opportunity to serve in front line infantry units. Like women on submarines, it’s about female officers who want to command infantry units (or submarines), because they see it as a necessary or at least helpful path for promotion. In other words, they don’t really care about combat effectiveness so much as their own self interests.
In regards to drafting women and/or making them register for the selective service, that’s true equality. I don’t like it, but if it’s forced on us, let’s quit kidding ourselves. True equality means women have to meet the exact same physical fitness standards as the men they serve with. There shouldn’t be separate standards for men and women. If it’s necessary for a man to carry a 70 lb pack for 30 miles, then a woman must be able to do the same. Otherwise, the men end up picking up the slack while the women congratulate themselves on their independence and equality.
Ok, Libtards. HOw about this for an encore of equality?
NFL shall allow women players; Olympics shall no longer be separated by sexes; NBA shall include NWBA - two shall be merged into one; etc.
Right...........
(With little discussion or fanfare, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta lifted the ban on women in combat that has been in effect for as long as there has been a U.S. military)
Well there are several things wrong with this statement right from the get go.
1. There are and have been women in combat and many have been killed or wounded.
2.What Pannetta did right or wrong is lift the restrictions on jobs in the militarty
The left is transforming the military from a fighting force into an equality force -just another government funded affirmative action jobs program.
Women assuming masculine roles. Men assuming feminine rolls. No wonder people are so gender confused! While there is a bit of sarcasm, there is also considerable truth in these statements!
The DemonRATs may destroy femininity at the same time our combat capability is destroyed. Women may resort to the use of steroids the same way women in sports are using them to gain the advantage. The social engineer’s vision of a unisex Utopia may be a steroid shot away.
Let's see how America responds when the first wave of "battle shredded" women vets return home and what their stories are.
Oh wait, the media isn't going to cover that part of it.
Will the enemy schedule attacks for "that time of the month"?
Given PMS, perhaps that could be turned to an advantage.
Do we really need this conversation? It's being forced on us.
We have transformed political correctness into political insanity.
If I were a man and during battle was wounded, I want a man with that upper body strength to get me out of there - not a woman who doesn't have comparable upper body strength. One can say put a woman in battle, but those muscles inherent in a man's body are not in a female body and she is weaker by genetic makeup.
As a woman, if I were in battle, I want a strong man next to me, not a woman. Why is that? Because that man is stronger.
This is another liberal move make quickly by one man and now that's the way it is.
I believe gays and women in battle spells losing the battle. I also think regular guys won't be as prone to join the military due to this. How many men will think, “Join the military and have to fight in a fox hole with gays and women - no thanks.”
The good news is that such stupidity will be punished by actual warfare. That’s also the bad news.... Moral of the story: diversity and equality are descriptions, not achievements.
