OT ladies and parents, how do you feel about women being drafted

for combat. A Senate bill was passed on Tuesday that would make women born on or after January 1, 2018, register for the Selective Service, like men have been doing for years. Previously, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter approved final plans from military service branches and the U.S. Special Operations Command to open up all combat jobs to women, and authorized the military to begin integrating female combat soldiers “right away.”

equality, right?

The draft is very unAmerican in itself, so I really dont care about it one way or the other.

If their goal is quality, then this is the next obvious step.

Considering the draft has not occurred in 40+ years, I'm not too concerned.
The military will always have a plethora of volunteers.

Are we planning on having a draft sometime soon?
ETA: And women signing up for the draft is stupid. There are physiological reasons why women would be terrible in combat. The genders aren't equal, especially in this case.

That's kinda the point here.
Women have been proven by the military's own studies to be inferior yet political brass have pushed to have women serve in combat roles despite the results.
If they truly believe that women are able to serve in combat, then they should have absolutely no problem with this.
If I don't register, I'm subject to denial of:
Federal student loans and grant programs
Federal job training under the Workforce Investment Act
Federal jobs or security clearance as a contractor
Yet women don't have that burden.

Based on equal rights then yes the draft should be open to all people. That being said, they don't have to draft people into combat roles.
There are plenty of non combat support roles that women and less able bodied people could fill.

As a father of zero girls, and the husband of an undraftable wreck of a woman, I don't give a shite either way.

While we're blessed that that's almost always been the case in this country, that's far from a given.

my daughter isnt going to be much bigger than her mom (5'2 105lbs) so for my daughter. Being drafted...you might as well throw a rag doll out there.

Absolutely, they should be drafted.
There are consequences to elections, people. When you elect social engineers with liberal agendas into positions of power, don't be surprised when their appointees implement disastrous policies.
Bottom line... if women are clear for combat roles, then the military says women are fit for front-line combat. No citizen fit for combat should be exempt from the draft, regardless of gender.
If that is not the case, then these leaders need to explain why. They won't be able to.
It's time to put Heather on the front line, in accordance with the orders of the Commander-in-Chief. I, for one, am glad this systematic discrimination against females is coming to an end. It's time to give them the opportunity to enjoy the horrors of war firsthand.
