Anyhow, this news about some selective service draft to the military of women is sheer craziness. I would never in a million years endorse such a stupid move.
War is horrible as it is with all the problems war brings. But, to sacrifice a bunch of young, healthy women in the altar of the God of War so some asshole dictator people can keep fighting it out for profits and supremacy is the peak of suicidal thought.
The Spaniards during the taking over of the Americas never allowed women to be sent off to the New World. It was high risk. The logic back then in the Spanish Golden Age of Colonialism and so on? Was that if you sacrifice your women you sacrifice the future of the entire country. They are right about that. You lose your fertile women in their reproductive age? You might as well surrender to the enemy. Because there will be no future for that society. Women giving birth to children is a life or death, survival of the species event. The ones who do not understand that are extremely stupid Drlee.
I would suggest a strong third party at this point is the only solution to the stupidity of both conventional majority parties. There is no other alternative at this point. Neither can do what needs to happen at this point. Logic is not happening there.
What blatant dumbness.
First of all , in spite of what those such as @Drlee have alleged , this proposed measure is not as severe as it might be made out to be .
A June 16 Facebook post claims a new demographic is now legally required to register for the Selective Service.
"The US Military under Biden has such an incredible shortfall of recruitment, thanks to their idiotic DEI and anti-white policies, that they’re now requiring women to register for selective service – the draft," reads the post's caption.
The post includes an image of a bullet-pointed list titled "Strengthening the Joint Force and Defense Workforce" and circles in red a bullet-point that says, "Amends the Military Selective Service Act to require the registration of women for Selective Service."
A similar version of the claim shared on Instagram garnered more than 100 likes in two days. Other versions of the claim were shared on Facebook and X, formerly Twitter. Though a Senate committee approved a bill that would require women to register for the Selective Service, the bill is still far from becoming law. It must still be approved by both chambers of Congress and signed by the president. The Senate Committee on Armed Services voted to advance the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025, which authorizes funding levels for the U.S. military and other defense-related areas for the upcoming fiscal year, on June 14. As the Facebook post highlights, one element of the bill also calls for women to register for the Selective Service.
The bill still has a long way to go before becoming law, however.
The committee said in a June 14 press release that now that the bill has been approved, it will advance to the Senate for consideration. The bill will then need to be approved by both the Senate and the House and be presented to the president for signing.
Fact check: No, Selective Service registration bill doesn't reinstitute draft
This isn't the first time the Senate committee has suggested such a change. The group previously proposed several bills in recent years recommending the inclusion of women in the Selective Service, but each time the bill failed to progress through Congress.
Though the Selective Service System would provide personnel to the Department of Defense in the case of a draft, the U.S. hasn't held one in more than 50 years. The most recent draft was held in 1973 during the Vietnam War. USA Today
And also , even if a draft were to be reinstated , and women were to be included , it wouldn't necessarily mean that they'd be placed into combatant roles .
The Senate Armed Services Committee’s Democratic chair Jack Reed has defended the policy change proposal, saying that women can serve without being on troops on the front lines.
‘Women are doing a remarkable job in our forces today, and if we were in a situation requiring a draft, I think we would need all able-bodied citizens 18 and above,’ said Reed.
He added that the hypothetical scenario of going into a draft would mean a ‘serious, serious situation’.
‘It’s not like World War II where we need a lot of infantry,’ Reed said. ‘We need cyber experts, we need intelligence analysts, linguists, etc. Wait a second, there are a lot of women out there that can do this better than men.’.... As of early this year, around 20 countries have laws allowing women to be conscripted into military service.
It is a far smaller number compared to the dozens of nations that have laws for drafting men.
The countries with mandatory military service for women are: Benin, Chad, Congo, Equitorial Guinea, Eritrea, Guinea-Bissau, Israel, Mali, Morocco, Mozambique, Niger, North Korean, Norway, Senegal, South Sudan, Sudan, Sweden, Tunisia, Venezuela and Vietnam. MSN
This is not the first time that right-wing Republicans have made such an appeal to absurdity either . Phyllis Schlafly , for example made such an argument , as it pertained to the Equal Rights Amendment .
https://www.history.com/news/equal-rights-amendment-failure-phyllis-schlafly https://billofrightsinstitute.org/essays/phyllis-schlafly-and-the-debate-over-the-equal-rights-amendment Historically , incidentally , the first country that I know of to utilize women in a combatant role was the U.S.S.R. , during World War II . However , I feel that this was largely due to the male population having been decimated by first World War I , and then subsequently the Russian Civil War . And so , in accordance with both
Marxist feminism , and
Articles 35 and 63 of the Soviet Constitution , women were eventually included in the war effort , including to some extent in combat .
