He volunteered, he wasn’t drafted. I’d have more understanding if this had come from one of the old guys who was drafted during Vietnam.

This should end any chance Hunter might have of getting support from Christian conservatives.

The current structure of draft registration forces the feds to take a stand on who is a male. That sounds stupid, but we are being led by the stupid, who take the position on bathroom access that anybody can decide at any time whether or not they are male or female.

If a human being with XY chromosomes fails to register for the draft, they’re breaking the law that requires them to do so. If that person declares that he identifies as a female, then the feds have to decide whether or not to accept that declaration.

If they do, in principle nobody has to register; anybody can claim they identify as female. If they don’t, they’ve set a precedent, like the U. S. Postal Service accepting Kris Kringle as Santa Claus: how can you harass North Carolina for limiting biological males to male restrooms when you, as the federal government, specify that biological males have to comply with a law that is limited to males?

That dilemma disappears when both males and females are required by statute to register (whether or not they are ultimately subjected to the draft).

I never thought of that angle. All the more reason to oppose it and force the government back to the reality that one’s sex is determined by biology.

Well you don’t get to choose because the majority of this country has not lost their mind. Women are not going to be registering for the draft. Its ridiculous.

Percentage doesn't matter. Our culture should not be force-changed by military planners. There are millions of families who train their daughters according to Biblical Christian family concepts, and they must not be forced to register, and then beg for deferments, or have other forms of service imposed upon them that drag them out of their homes.

The very idea of females being required to register comes from the feminists, and they want all females to have their beliefs set aside, and forced into a new "cultural construct."

With the precedent already set (in the minds of military planners) by young women who are presently willing to leave their children behind and go out and spend months in Humvees with men to whom they are not married, it points to difficulty getting deferments in the future. We have already crossed the threshold of "Because some women WANT TO, all women MUST" (again in the Pentagon think tanks)

Millions of American women, not just a few, still have firm convictions on women daily having the hands-on training responsibility of their own children. There should be NO threat at all to this.

By your tag I am assuming your gender, taking a cue from another blogger who told me that some discrimination is okay, your opinion in this matter does not count anyway. You are biased towards discriminating against males as it benefits you.:)

Well your opinion doesn’t count since women are not going to be registering for the draft anytime soon. Common sense has once again prevailed against insanity. Suck it up.

Guess again, this issue is not dead and it will be resurrected and women will have to register for Selective Service or men will not have to. It will be one or the other. I am not sure what passes for common sense in the part of Georgia you are from. But I hope like heck it does not spread may be worse than Zika. Although my part of the world is small, the population here all wear green uniforms. Whether man or woman in all the discussions on this matter all are for women being drafted. Many of the people wearing the uniform do not understand people having a problem with this. Those that have young daughters prefer that Selective Service go away entirely, but if it does not agree it should be all inclusive. I do not have to suck anything I am older than 25 and I am a true 1%. I am part of the 1% that has spent a life time of service to my country. But I just love people willing to wear green or blue uniforms. As for my baby girl, she plans to accept a commission after college.
