I agree with Ted on this, however...if women want to be treated equally they should have to bear the same burdens.
They asked for it.
Trump had a good answer as well by saying he loves women and wants to talk to the generals.
Scott Brown and Trump are all about the white women vote.
Women and children first.
Crazy stuff.
Conscription happens because the Army and Marine Corps are short on fighters. Not to fill the rear echelon ranks.
Waste of time and money when half the draftees can not be fighters.
“After last week’s surprise statements by two top generals that women should sign up for the draft just like men, Sen. Ted Cruz has set himself apart from his Republican rivals in the race for president by saying unequivocally that the idea is “nuts.” “
Then get rid of the whole draft, remove females right to vote, or not allow women to sign up for student loans since men cant unless they register.
The problem is putting women into combat, whether they are drafted or volunteer for the military. If it’s not on a voluntary basis, then women will be less likely to volunteer to serve in a non-combat role also. I don’t think women should serve in combat, but if there’s a draft I see no reason why they shouldn’t be subject to the draft on the same basis as men. But I don’t think there should be a draft except in a declared war, and I don’t think there will be.
Perfect answer from Ted
Ted stands with us on it.
Gen. Robert Neller and Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley both said they thought women should have to register for Selective Service when they turn eighteen, just like men. ......................... Maybe it was more tongue in cheek, to bring it out because there is a bill in congress by two R’s to register woman for the draft so it can be discussed and killed. I think our daughters and grand daughters will remain safe. If they desire to join, they will.
In Israel don’t women serve a mandatory service along with men or am I mistaken?
As a former Infantryman, I vehemently oppose women in combat roles. Not enough upper body strength and odor issues in long term forward of friendly deployments. (Sorry ladies.)
I think everyone should serve.
Let women be drafted for support roles.
Somebody define ‘female’ please? I’m not sure what that is any more.
This retired military father of a little girl agrees with Ted on this issue. If she wants to join I will support her completely. But I cannot abide a government claim on my daughter (or anyone’s daughter) for the battlefield.
