I don’t know, there might be some potential PR value were women to be used to take out a group of terrorists. Even if they got captured, raped, tortured, or killed the PR value might hit a nerve in the MSM.

A commenter on my blog opined that they’re doing this because a dead female soldier is going to cause many times the stink of a dead male soldier, on the front page of the papers.

That sounds right to me. Like the way lefties keep trying to re-introduce the draft. Anything to drive a wedge.

Let’s play “military”.

This is a game to them. Sickening.

Men will have to pick up the considerable slack from women, and die as a result.

The people pushing this unnecessary move couldn’t care less and are more than happy to gamble with the men’s and women’s lives.

I think that’s the next political gambit Obama has in store for Republicans. After years of Democrats threatening the draft, they will suddenly, in lockstep, call for the end of selective service. Republicans will either be the bad guy who wants to force our sons and daughters to die in a war, and force millions of women between the ages of 18 and 25 to register en masse for selective service, or they have to agree to weaken our military readiness.

It’s brilliant!…in a Joker sort of way.

Also, since women will need to register for the draft, up to what age do they need to register? I think they draft 20 year olds first, then 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 19 and 18, in that order. But I haven’t heard where they dispose of men’s selective service registrations at a particular age so I guess all women will need to register. Certainly all women between 18 and 25 will.

Something tells me they’ll just be getting rid of the selective service for good in the next few weeks.

I see it as a self correcting problem. Those who aren’t good enough won’t survive. The enemy does not grade on a curve.

Another idiotic piece written by someone that has zero experience with the subject. As a retired military person, I can quote Sheriff Joe that this is “a big f’in deal” that will cause a lot of problems for a lot of people.
