Stars & Stripes<\/a> reports that Republican representatives Duncan Hunter and Ryan Zinke, Hunter a former Marine and Zinke a former Navy SEAL, wasted no time crafting the Draft Americans’ Daughters Act to fully integrate females into the military service. The bill would require draft-aged women to register for conscription ninety days after bill is signed by the President.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf this administration wants to send 18, 20-year-old women into combat, to serve and fight on the front lines, then the American people deserve to have this discussion through their elected representatives,\u201d Hunter said in a released statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I am opposed to a draft, speaking as a former platoon sergeant, but hey, since everyone wants to be equal these days…. Women should take the bad things about equality with the good. <\/p>\n

Jimmy Carter reinstituted the draft in 1979 to respond to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, just seven years after Richard Nixon presided over the last draft lottery. The hippies filed a law suit that they thought would end the selective service by demanding that women should be drafted, too, souring Americans on the whole idea (remember this was in the days of the Equal Rights Amendment).<\/p>\n

In 1981, the Supreme Court in Rostker v. Goldberg decided that since women were excluded from combat, there was no compelling reason for Congress to draft them. Well, that restriction has been lifted now that the social justice warriors have prevailed in the halls of the Pentagon. <\/p>\n

I’m surprised that the social justice warriors aren’t lining up behind this – it’s all about equality and it probably won’t affect any of them – the same reasons they wanted the policy changed.<\/p>\n

And the service chiefs recommended the change to draft policy just a few days ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
