I think not only should both sexes be required to sign up but both should do mandatory 2 years of service right out of high school. It could even be set up so that the best and brightest do the military work and the rest do Peace Corps type stuff - all in country though. Israel has the right idea.

Double standard. Ignored by feminists. But it's sexist to point out double standards that hurt men and help women

Israel also has multiple countries within spitting distance that have publicly said they want to wipe them off the face of the Earth.

Personally, I don't think the state has the moral right to require forced labor of anyone, but that's just me. I'd rather have people who have a genuine desire to 'serve' as opposed to a mandate - which will, by its very nature, lower standards, productivity, and efficiency.

I pissed off an Equal Opportunity Rep at our Repeal of Don't ask, Don't Tell briefing in the Army. I asked if Gays and Lesbians can shower and bunk with their sexual preference then I should be able to also. She didn't like that question.

The only time I see us needing to draft is if war breaks out with Russia as it would be a war on two fronts.
I think the issue is that not registering for SS disqualifies men for financial aid or other college programs whereas women don't have to bear such potential burden despite being decreed combat effective by Mr. SJW in chief.

They hate when you remind them they're opening Pandora's Box.

I'm confused by this. The House Committee rules that women had to register for the draft in April.
Did something fall off along the way and I missed that?

It wouldn't work here. The country is way too big to support a military with that many people in it. Hell, the government can't afford the military personnel we have now. I can't imagine how much it would cost to support a military with millions of people on active duty.

Double standard
I was in the chair Force back in the day. I worked in accounting had a lot of females in there. The guys in the office would always here how they,women, should be treated as equals and we treated them as such. Every month we would get big reams of paper for the printers each box weight about 50 pounds each. It sucked because we had to carry them up 2 and 3 flights of stairs. This is the good part though. All those women that wanted to be treated equal would change that tune when the truck arrived with the paper. We would hear. "Hey Guys the paper is here they said you can go down stairs and pick it up." So much for equal rights

At the very least, if such a program is to be done, it ought to be done by the states. It's almost as if our intended form of government allows for experimentation for what can work!

A House Committee can't amend the Selective Service Act.

Under the Senate bill passed on Tuesday, women turning 18 on or after Jan. 1, 2018, would be forced to register for Selective Service, as men must do now.
So my question is did it get hung up by the lower house, which I doubt, or vetoed? I think it's in the works, just not enacted yet.

That's from June. What's the status of that bill now?
