Comment: The Draft.

 

The Alabama men and women who have died in combat since 9/11. BUT...

"Why Don't Women Have to Sign Up for the Draft?

The law doesn't require that women register for the draft. Although it's a subject of intense debate, and many other countries require women to complete national service or register for the draft, the U.S. does not.

In 2016, Congress came close to including women in the draft. House and Senate committees both approved a provision in the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act that would have made the change. But ultimately, lawmakers stripped out the provision and ordered a review of the Selective Service System instead.

Unless Congress changes the law, women are not permitted or required to register for the Selective Service System."

May I impolitely add:  BS!

     It is 2023! There can be no justification for excluding women from the draft registration requirement. (Actually draft them? That's another question.)

     Women are excluded because the political power brokers know the people (who brag about supporting the military etc) would never allow 18 year old women to be pulled away from their families involuntarily.

Their 18 year old sons? Sure. We can do with them as we please.

Women? revolution time.
