Should women have to register for the draft?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

The Obama Administration thinks so.  What about you?

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

No one should.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

No one should.

Correct answer.

[The_Doctor]

Can we forcibly draft all the Branch Trumpidians when a war breaks out?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

No one should.

Correct answer.

Since it's a reality, do you two have an opinion on whether it should be equal requirements, or men only?

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

It should be required until it is repealed for both, yes.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

It should be required until it is repealed for both, yes.

Agreed

[Virginiá]

Women may not be able to handle every job in the military, but they can do most and there is no reason to exclude them. We can hold our own.

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

draft registration should be abolished (normal), but if it isn't, then yes.

[Hermit For Peace]

I'm of the old school. No woman should be required to register for the draft.

Women are the baby-makers. That is the most important job in the land. It should be protected at all costs.

To be in the military takes a certain ability and mindset, and no one, frankly, should be required to register. Make it all voluntary for everyone.

Indeed.

In Germany, from about 1938 till about 1945, the government gave out medals to women (of pure Aryan blood).  If you had 4 children you received the one on the left.  For 6 children the one in the middle, and for 8 or more, the one on the right.  A patriotic German woman could collect all three.



Last time we had this thread I voted no, because I'm opposed to selective service registration.  I don't think any man or woman should have to register for the draft.

This time I voted yes, thinking that the question assumed the conditional, as Gramps explained it.

[Mercenary]

No. The draft shoild be abolished petiod. There is no one choice or the other.
The way to achieve more freedom is not by decreasing freedom for more parties.

Making things worse for more people is t the way to achieve equaity.
Yes everyone should be able to volunteer for the military but no ome should be forced.
I reject false two answwer options just as I reject R and D as the only politicial choice.

[Lexii, harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy]

It should be required until it is repealed for both, yes.

[Kingpoleon]

It should be required until it is repealed for both, yes.

Agreed, but it most definitely should be repealed.

[bagelman]

Best option: We don't need draft right now

Better option: Both genders are equal in the eyes of Uncle Sam

Bad option: One not drafted other is

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

It should be required until it is repealed for both, yes.

[Vosem]

Yes. Of course.

[Higgs]

It should be required until it is repealed for both, yes.

In principal this is what I agree with, but adding women to the draft will almost certainly take momentum away from the push to end the draft as a whole (which is a much more desirable goal).

[Hermit For Peace]

Women already do all the work. They bear the children, they have jobs (in which they are not paid as much as their male counterparts), they cook and clean house, they take care of the kids (majority of the time but yes I know there are a lot of male "mom's our there), they do the shopping....they need a break.

Force them to register for the draft, too? Not until they have equal status with males in society on all levels.

[Person Man]

It should be required until it is repealed for both, yes.

Agreed

[Cory]

Of course they should.

I bet if I dab you with a cotton swab I can taste the salt in your tears.

I'm completely unworried.  After all I'm economically secure enough to withstand the election of an idiot who doesn't know anything about running a country.

The operative question, naturally, will be if you will retain any dignity once the crap hits the fan. I assume once the God Emperor you revere is noted as a failure and fraud that there might be a lot more of salty tears coming from your side than mine.

[Bakersfield Uber Alles]

No one should.

Correct answer.

[SWE]

There shouldn't be a draft, and I'd rather not make more people worse off in the name of treating them equally.
