House committee votes to require women to register for draft<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\nAbout damn time. This should have been law years ago.<\/p>\n
No, this doesn’t mean that women should be drafted into the combat arms. Just because someone gets drafted doesn’t automatically mean they end up Infantry (or in one of the other combat arms branches).<\/p>\n
The military should still assign specialties based on known physical norms and needs of the service. If a given group in general cannot meet the qualifications of a specific specialty, they can – and should – be excluded from assignment to that specialty. It’s the same rationale that generally excludes those requiring corrective lenses (or not meeting other seemingly-irrelevant physical requirements) from flight school: the impact of such a physical shortcoming is deemed significant enough to preclude such an assignment to members of that group, even though certain individuals within that group may well make excellent pilots. The courts have recognized the military’s need to do this; the fact that gender may be such a factor for a select few specialties is irrelevant.<\/p>\n
However, if passed this will correct a significant injustice. If passed, both males and females<\/em> will now be subject to draft registration requirements – and, if a draft is required, to being drafted. <\/p>\nEnjoy, SJWs. You’re largely responsible for this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
