Women in US military draft.

Seems right by my standards, if you want equality - you *must* fight to invade Canada when the US asks you to invade by trench warfare.

Draft Oprah first though.

In the event of war, the US could only force 16.2 million males to fight.

16.2 million males isn't enough?

[ZenOps]

Technically no. Because its estimated that 3/4 of the required males have not updated or falsified their addresses for the draft.

In otherwords they have stated that their address on file for draft is:

John Nevergonnafindme
Third tree from the right
Pluto.

Lest no one ever forget that Trump dodged the draft five times.

there's a difference between equality when a woman wants to vs being forced to. A woman (or anyone for that fact), being forced to do something will never have the same mental capacity as someone who is willing.

I have decided I will lay my life on the line for my country and am working my way up to be the best I can be. Force someone into that position and hell no they didn't choose that, now you have combat ineffectiveness. Doubting if that person is going to be watching your six or going to turtle when push comes to shove.

I've already come across ppl who joined and then only to quit before even making it to BMQ. hah.

Some key points:

-The reason challenges against not having women in the draft were rejected was because the Supreme Court decided that if women were not allowed to serve in combat roles, they were exempt from the draft (which is seen as a way to get more combat troops). Women are now allowed in combat roles, therefore they want to get ahead of a court challenge by changing the rules.

-Some cynics believe this is a move to try and pull back on allowing women in combat, with the hope that public outcry against the draft registry is stronger than the desire to allow qualified women in combat roles.

-The MRAs seeing this as a giant victory are kind of dumb, because even though the supposed purpose of the draft is to get more combat troops, it doesn't really work that way as all sorts of positions need to be filled. So what is likely to happen is women not fit for combat will take the service roles pushing those men into front line combat roles, meaning the nutbars praising this as a win are merely celebrating the fact this allows more men to be pushed into the line of fire.

What I found interesting after digging, is that failing to comply is a maximum $250,000 fine which has not since changed.

Although I can't find a single case of where anyone was called on it.

But will the military supply transgender bathrooms?
