Top U.S. generals: Women should have to register for draft

Sister is in the military. They won't even give her a real gun. Apparently she is soo inept she carries a dummy one when they are training. Then goes back to the desk after.

Not saying all women would be like this but jesus can you imagine the flood of women who are just typical girls like my sister if they instate the draft.

Good, maybe some women will finally learn that they have had the right to college financial aid based on gender alone, whereas men have had to earn that right by registering.

How about abolishing the draft and just incentivising people to volunteer with good pay and perks?

That is what equality is, if they don't like it too bad. Tell all the men that were drafted in WW1 to Nam. But hey if they want equality then I'm all for it if they also may be drafted. :/ Or we could just go back to how it used to be....

The draft is slavery and slavery is wrong. My country doesn't have the draft (Canadian), and were fine. I don't support expanding a barbaric practice to women, I support ending it.

It not like America will ever need a draft for survival, battles between major countries are done via proxies or the boardrooms and the spy game. The major powers have everything to lose via direct war and nothing to gain, they'd destroy whatever they wish to aquire.

And wars against minor powers will increasingly done by drone warfare, its just a matter of time till even the infantry is replaced by drones. The big beefy men and some women will be replaced by geeky dudes in a basement (of a military base) blowing up people via drones, playing it like its a video game (hopefully NOT like grand theft auto :D).

I've heard women use the excuse, "well there will never be another draft, so it shouldn't matter if we aren't required to sign up." If that is the case, and there won't be another draft, then it shouldn't matter to you if you sign up.

I don't mind the draft. If we are ever in another war where it is necessary, then people should be compelled to serve, but it should be from a pool of both men and women.

This is really bad for men in the event of a draft. Because now every man drafted is shipped to the front lines, no matter where they would be of most use (and better efficiency in a military is directly lives saved).

Drafting is barbaric

Checkmate feminists

I understand the logic in this argument, but I feel like this is the point where idealism meets reality. Feminism and Pacifism intersect here to create a false dichotomy of just terrible choices. There are very good reasons why we have a draft and why that draft is made up of men. This is exactly why idealism is bullshit when it is not applied with a healthy dose of realism.

Does anyone think that a "DRAFT" will be a random selection of people if one is implemented. If it were then the odds say that the ratio would be near 50/50 of men and women. Does anyone in their right mind really believe that the US armed services is going to accept a near 50/50 ratio of men and women. Folks this whole thing is a scam. They will make women sign up for the draft but if it ever happens I think that the ratio will be like a 1000 to 1, iow, for every 1000 men that are drafted 1 woman will be and that 1 woman will be a clerk.

Many Republicans fear the change would lead to quotas mandating specific numbers of women, which they argue could weaken some units, such as Marines in positions that might require hand-to-hand combat.

I was under the impression that "knife-fighting" range combat is pretty rare in modern conflicts. Most combat footage videos are at such a distance that you can barely see the enemy combatants (if at all).

also I thought the draft was abolished. do they mean selective service (the pseudo-draft) ?

Women infantry is a horrible idea. Just pure genetics put them at a disadvantage
