Wow...

so only 20 years for that to be shot down, that'll totally stand up

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.

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.

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.

Why aren't women required to register within the next 12 months or face the same denial of federal student loans,etc... as men?

It's not about equality, it's preferential treatment. And it sure as hell isnt about a more lethal military. Easier PT test. Different grooming standards. Ridiculous sexual harassment procedures. No repercussions for the traditional pre-deployment surge of pregnancies. Thank goodness I'm coming off the line for a few years.

Draft'em! There are positions for women. Although ever person is trained for front line combat during basic (my experience in the Army) no woman would serve in those positions if they chose not to.

Women are fighting for equal rights so this is only right.

The need for people is modified at all times based on the needs. Adjustments for female positions would be the norm.
