I don't understand why one gender has to sign up while the other does not. Women are even getting in combat roles now, so why not both? Even before then there are still plenty of non-combat roles. In draft time it seems like every bit of help is needed.
Also for any women on the flood, how would you feel about it?
I doubt the draft will come back, but it seems a bit biased.

Because men are better troops in general. I don't think the military would want to waste money equipping women.

cuz weer men /flex

Edited by DELIVER ME MEMES: 2/13/2013 6:40:27 AMa lil something called the dick act of 1903. and women are NOT held to the exact same standards as men in the military. make them have the exact same standards if they're going infantry, not double standards that unfairly treat women better.
-
Because women are unfit for combat.
-
Men have responsibilities while women have choices.
-
Because feminism and inequality.
-
I would think that since women are going to be moving towards active combat roles now that they would change this, but who knows. Personally i'd just be happy with them requiring femal recruits to meet the mens PT standards.

Cuz boobs.

We aren't drafted because we make babies. #uterusFTW

I don't think women should be drafted. Do you?
-
Now that combat roles have been approved for women, shouldn't they have to start registering also. We can already predict the response from the young women of america "Do you think that women should be allowed in combat roles?" Young women of america: "Yes absolutely. Women are just as capable as men" "Cool, you are also going to have to register for selective service, and be a candidate should another draft ever arise" Young women of america: "WHAT THE FUCK WAR IS FOR MEN. I DONT WANT TO FIGHT SOME DUMB WAR"

Men kill and women squeeze out more men for killing.

Edited by HurtfulTurkey: 2/13/2013 4:26:13 AMBecause women can have babies. In a time of great national crisis, when a draft would actually be necessary, it means our nation or our allied society faces imminent and catastrophic peril, and it's very possible that we would need healthy young women to bolster our population afterwards. The argument against putting women in combat roles is corollary to that statement.

Edited by Love Sosa: 2/13/2013 5:02:43 AMBecause its the biggest honor a man can do. Our job is to protect children and the women back at home. I proudly signed up for this and if there is a need for a draft I hope I'm first in
-
I have no plans on going if they do draft people.
-
The Pacific is better than Band of Brothers.
-
If women want equality then they better be willing to sign up for the draft.
-
I don't even want to sign up for this. Too bad it's -blam!-ing required to get Federal Aid. But also, yeah. They might change it since women are now allowed back into combat.
-
Because a woman's place is at home so they can take care of the family while the man goes off and does a man's job. I dunno. It might change, with women being allowed to serve in combat roles.
-
Only men could be in combat roles up until a couple weeks ago.
-
Because until a month ago only men could serve in combat.
