Also nurses. Went to visit my friend in a AF hospital and 4 out of 5 nurses were male. SHEESH!

As much as I dislike the concept, you are absolutely right. If women want all barriers broken down then they must face what is on the other side.
Message to feministas: Careful what you wish for, you may get it.

The DoD broke down most remaining barriers to women in combat. Why would you think the draft should violate that concept?

Our nation is miles down the road in the wrong direction, and still accelerating.

...that doesnt mean we should return to the draft or that females should
ever be drafted for combat which I am totally against,...
***************
There are lots of jobs in the military that females can do that aren’t
combat related. They serve today, have served in the past and should
continue to serve.

Nixon ended registration for the draft.
Carter reinstated it.

Muslim women will, I suppose, be exempt. Modesty, propriety and all that.

You mean the Canadian who voted for letting 0bama give $150 BILLION to the Iranians, as long as the Iranians self-certified they were nice people?
Yeah, I don't agree with you. And we gave Cruz hundreds of dollars when he announced.
Cruz sure was proud of trying to increase H1-Bs here by 500%. It must have been because we didn't have enough domestic Christians out of work.

if males have to sign up for selective service at 18 so should females.. that doesnt mean we should return to the draft or that females should ever be drafted for combat which I am totally against,, but in a national emergency I dont want half of the populations brains sitting on the sidelines..
My sentiments exactly, LL2! But stand by for some heavy incoming by freepers, particularly the one who said that since I was for making women register and liberals were for it as well, therefore I was a liberal! Quite amazing really.

Exactly. They want equality in all things? Give it to them in spades until they cry for relief. Then we can start rolling back the insanity.

Did they re institute the draft when I wasn’t looking?
To: reaganaut1
I am a woman. I am a retired Navy officer. I support registering women for the draft. We require men to register. Women should register also.

Thanks for your reality!
What draft? There isn't one. This is one of those show boat votes, which have nothing to do with reality. There is no draft!
Is this sometype of left wing census data base for women who become 18?

When this pamphlet came out early in 1973, the prospect of women being drafted seemed absurd. Man, how times have changed!

“We have missed a wonderful oppurtunity to place a man in the presidency of high moral and ethical character.”
What are you talking about? Trump is the most moral and ethical candidate in this election cycle, and he hasn’t missed anything.
Hasn’t missed a beat, really.
