Women and the draft

[tattooguy21]

Finally. Didn't make it through the SC a few years ago because all jobfields not being open to both the sexes, but since then things have changed. Everyone gets to share the wealth of selective service. You get a draft and you get a draft and YOU A GET A DRAFT

New legislation would require women, like men, to sign up for potential draft

A U.S. Senate committee has approved legislation that would, if enacted, require young women to register for Selective Service alongside men.

I joined the USAF right out of high school and then spent some time in the Ga Air National Guard. There are lots of jobs that both sexes can perform in the military. I have always thought both should have to sign up for the draft. If we are all equal then we should all be treated that way.

I support this 100%, though I hope we never need a draft again.

Same. I never felt compelled to join the service, but if men need to join the draft, we do as well. There are plenty of jobs that women can and should be doing.

I agree with B1GTide though, I hope we never need it.

I agree with women registering but it has never been a big deal to me they haven’t.

I'll go the other way and say we get rid of the entire draft registration system. It isn't needed and neither men nor women should have to register.
