Sadly, the 5th Circuit upheld the constitutionality of an all male draft, it is now upon Congress to act (Poll: Should Congress end Selective Service or should they expand Selective Service to include women?)

because they are not currently allowed in them.

Yes they are. You need to do a little research buddy.

if all positions are open to them, I am unaware. if so, then equals is what equals is.

The first female graduated the SFQC a couple of weeks ago.

good for her! That however does not change what I’ve read. Which is that under the “leaders first” initiative women officers are allowed, but so far, still no enlisteds. Maybe I’m wrong, but this is the last I knew.

She is enlisted. 18C I believe.

They already are.

They are united side by side from the same platoon on the battlefield?

Yep. Sure are.

Easy solution. End selective service and ban congress from ever reintroducing conscription through constitutional amendment.

Either that or make women eligible for conscription. It has to be one or the other.

No matter what is constitutional or not constitutional, drafting women into combat would end the war they were drafted for and start a civil war instead.

Why do you keep saying that? Why do you think that?

Because I am absolutely sure I am far from the last man in America who feels it’s his duty to protect his wife and children, from all comers.

maybe their doing SF differently or they are just further along. As far as I know, their aren’t any 11B’s or 13B’s yet. If so, is what it is… 50/50

Neither my wife or daughters were raised with the understanding or view they would have to one day go to war. They are not psychologically or constitutionally capable of it, not now, not after training. Sending them would be signing their death warrants.

[TheRedComet]

Men since the 1970s, outside of military families, haven’t been raised with that mind set either. The last draftee was inducted in 1973.

[trumpacon]

Lol. Before they would reach the point of having to start drafting women, some heavy weaponry would start to fly. Those weapons would not be the ones you would like to see. Drafting of women will not happen.

Boys are still more likely to be raised with the mindset and constitution for war.

Playing with dolls and being focused on nurturing didn’t prepare my girls for it. Meanwhile, I spent my childhood getting in physical fights, hunting and outdoor activities. They’d suffer ptsd if someone slapped them.

Here is an opportunity for me to make a point.

Conscription does not equal to induction.

Many women would likely get 4F and that would be that.

Even if inducted, many more women than men would likely not make the cut at the induction center or in basic training and would be sent home.

I didn’t say they weren’t in shape, oldest ones near Olympic level fit that doesn’t mean she is psychologically fit for warfare.

Indeed. They can be voluntold just as well. There is no reason not to draft females.

I have 3 grown daughters that aren’t serving now either. I would be quite P.O.ed if they were drafted for combat.
