Rangel, who has pushed for years to bring back the draft, said the Pentagon’s decision to allow women to serve in combat means that they too should register for the Selective Service.

Draft women? They’d only draft the working class daughters for the dirtier, more dangerous specialties. They’d be a harem for the rest. Diseases would run rampant—even in the multitudes of resulting babies owned by the government.
Most Americans would cease to buy anything, stop working and become rather more nonpolitical. So go right on ahead, political/regulator folks. Do it.

“Drafting Mommy and putting her in foxholes for the men to fight over.”
Actually, what I meant was that if you draft a woman who doesn’t want to go, her quickest, easiest out is to get pregnant.
It’s hard to believe I agree with Rangel on this. If women want equality, they should get all that comes with it.
