Senate Democrats Seek to Rewrite Military Draft Laws to Include Women

Douglass Mackey, aka Twitter power user "Ricky Vaughn," was indicted by the Department of Justice earlier this year for sharing troll memes ahead of the 2016 election saying Hillary Clinton wanted to "Draft Our Daughters."

Democrats are now working to turn that into policy.


From Politico, "Senate Democrats propose requiring women to register for military draft":

    Senate Democrats are proposing a sweeping rewrite of the military draft laws aimed at requiring women to register for the Selective Service System, according to a draft authored by Senate Armed Services Chair Jack Reed and obtained by POLITICO.

    The changes to Selective Service could be attached to the National Defense Authorization Act, a defense policy bill that's one of the few pieces of legislation considered a "must-pass" by Congress. The move would reignite a contentious debate over whether women should be required to register for the draft, a move the House and Senate have each considered in recent years, though the change has never become law.

Senate panel votes to make women register for draft
By Rebecca Kheel - 07/22/21 04:52 PM EDT

The Senate Armed Services Committee has approved language in its annual defense policy bill that would require women to register for the draft.

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) approved by the committee behind closed doors Wednesday “amends the Military Selective Service Act to require the registration of women for Selective Service,” according to a summary released Thursday.

The United States has not instituted a draft since the Vietnam War, and Pentagon officials have repeatedly said they intend to keep the force all-volunteer. ... More at The Hill

I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I don't think the vast majority of women should ever see combat and should not be drafted toward that end. On the other, the political impact of knowing that women might be drafted might just help to keep us out of more stupid wars.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

If Israeli women can serve in the Israeli military under conscription, so, too, can American women.  I see no problem with this in principle.

There hasn't been a draft since 1973. This whole subject is moot. The military doesn't want a draft. Parents don't want a draft. Kids don't want a draft. This discussion is as meaningful as a discussion about what to do when a flying saucer lands on the White House lawn.

The suggestion of women in a draft is just to keep feminazis off the backs of the senators. 333cleo
