“So you could start seeing women who don’t WANT to be in combat positions put there regardless..”

White rural Christian women will be first to be put in combat positions.

Bet the farm on it.

If you’ve got an hour or two I’ll tell you. :(

I’m really intolerant and getting worse by the day. When I hit 70 the rest is gravy and I’ll become insufferable by then.

Never get in argument with an old man. He has little to lose and he would just as well kill you and leave you in the ditch as negotiate.

Color me one of the angry conservatives. Tired of crap.

Well said. There is a reason God made male and female and gave each unique and good gifts. If there were no need for separation of duties He would have simply made us androgynous or asexual and to reproduce from from body parts like rhizomes.

I didn’t say force anyone into service. If they don’t want to be drafted, then they simply give up their voting privileges.

Solves two problems at the same time, as far as I’m concerned.

Yep to be fair and equal women must be drafted. It is a political imperative.

The Secretary of the Army making this proposal, is the current and departing SecArmy, John McHugh. He is not bh0’s ‘happy’ replacement.

"I’m really intolerant and getting worse by the day. When I hit 70 the rest is gravy and I’ll become insufferable by then."

Yup, pretty much already there at 65. That's why posts here cut through the bullshit and I tell it like I see. I make no more apologies for my positions. Don't like them? Then kiss my old flabby wrinkled ass that has forgotten more than many on these sites know. I'm so looking forward to becoming an old curmudeon. Didn't spell it correctly? So what?
