Shocking—to nobody—the LA Times thinks it’s time to end the draft now that women can be drafted.

What a horse tripe article.

This is nothing more than feminists and women trying to escape responsibility for their choices and avoid risk.

How many men have had to pay a negative price in the past for failing to register? Now women (in theory) may be subject to that same set of punishments so OF COURSE they want to make it go away.

We didn't see that one coming, right?

"But progress isn’t adding women to what may be an obsolete draft registry system. Congress should fix the system first. "

IMO they're actually arguing foir the status quo, but they don't want people to connect the dots that they're being sexist. They're not arguing for an end to the draft. They're saying that congress shouldn't draft women until they fix the draft, which will be never.

If anything, they should force women to register and then fix the draft. By their own logic, you can register on-line now. There are no massive administrative changes needed. It can happen a lot quicker and probably cheaper than "fixing" the draft. My guess is if it does happen it will become increasingly easier to "fix" (ie abolish) the draft pnce women are eligible.

Oddly missing is any mention of the "backdoor draft" for our "all voluntary army" (ie stop loss in the Iraq and Afghanistan initiatives) I'm pretty sure they reported on 15 or so years ago. Those people, over overwhelmingly men, were still forced to serve after their agreed upon enlistment was up.

I'd rather they just end the draft all together and take voluntary recruits only, but of course feminists are going to complain now that they are at risk of losing their lives, even though men have had to deal with this potential threat to livelihood for decades.
