Don't draft our daughters for front-line combat
Fox News ^ | 7/8/2022 | Rep. Chip Roy

Posted on 07/08/2022 6:51:38 AM PDT by antidemoncrat

Yet, here we are again. With the Senate Armed Services Committee passing this provision in the yearly NDAA bill and the House set to consider legislation next week, we will see if Democrats — with the potential support of Republicans — will once again push forward legislation to force our daughters to the front lines.

So women should have equality in every thing except..... Just because they get drafted doesn't mean they will be automatically sent to the front lines.

What if their daughters are ‘men’? It’s so confusing

My sister don’t wanna get drafted
She don’t wanna go sister don’t wanna get drafted
My sister don’t wanna get drafted
She don’t wanna go sister don’t wanna get drafted
Wars are really ugly
They’re dirty an’ they’re cold
I don’t want nobody
To shoot her in the fox hole
Fox hole

They want equality, or better than equality, in anything beneficial. Not so with responsibilities.

Only fools and traitors would draft women of child-bearing age for combat on the front lines.

Homeland defense would be more appropriate.

Maybe they should base these things on ability. I think volunteers (female draftees aren’t forced to the front lines) should get a say and the final determination should be 100% based on who is the best for the job.

We need global strike capability (subs, bombers, missiles) to say “leave us alone”. And we need lots and lots of citizens with guns. Our military spending just causes us trouble.

People lose the ability to define ‘woman’ when women are not treated like women. They should be home raising and nurturing children. Contrast that to men in our military. Every single man in the military should be able at a moment’s notice be able to fight for our nation and protect his family. There should be zero women in the military. Period.

Let them go back to being WAVs and WACs.(sp?) or draft them and put them on the front lines. They had to lower training standards multiple times so that a woman could become a Ranger and some General could get another star for being woke. Used to be a guy had to flee to another country to avoid the draft. Now he can just claim he identifies as a woman, and no one may question his brave and courageous transition. The woke democrats have destroyed the most powerful military that ever existed.

the frequency, nature and costs of conflicts, wars, etc we get embroiled in should be a bigger concern. We shouldn’t be sending anyone to front lines when our interests, security and exit plan are not clearly defined.

The open ended conflicts we get sucked into have really hurt this country. Just saying.

The whole world cheered when Scarlett did what she had to do. Nothing wrong with that.

What is wrong is to force 18 year-old girls to sign up for the draft in peacetime to feed the demented anti-civilization aims of demented Democrats.

Too often our military is used for other purposes.

Of course, it should be volunteer only.

You sound like a Democrat who has neither served in combat nor has daughters. You think it’s a good thing to draft our daughters to fight Deep State foreign wars against savages?

Draft them just like the men!

It's just fine to draft your sons to fight Deep State foreign wars against savages though?
