McGrath: Ted Cruz Stands Alone On a Female Draft

Conservative Review ^ | February 8, 2016 | Art McGrath

[Ohioan]

The idiocy of the idea of drafting women is exceeded in the annals of absurd ideas, only by the pretense of a couple of the candidates, who implied that subjecting young women to the draft was some form of improved opportunity.

[BillM]

How about passing an anti discrimination law. Let anyone regardless of sex apply for ALL openings. This would of course include NFL, NBA, MLB, all high school and college teams etc.

If substantial numbers (35% or so) qualify then subject women to the draft.

I don’t have a problem with limiting sports teams and other activities to men only and women only. I really don’t think most women are fit for combat duty, although there are other duties they qualify for. The problem in drafting women is I’m afraid that the idiots would demand that half of combat duty be women, thereby weakening our military and not keeping us safe. Men and women have different physical characteristics but that doesn’t mean they are not equal human beings.
