Requirement for Women to Register for the Draft Back on the Table in Annual Defense Bill

A fight over whether women should be required to register for a potential draft has been revived in Congress.

Last year, Congress appeared on the precipice of making women register with what’s formally called the Selective Service System, but the idea was dropped from the defense policy bill signed into law after closed-door House-Senate negotiations despite having bipartisan support.

Now, the proposal is back in the version of the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, making its way through the Senate, and conservatives are again vowing a fierce fight against what they refer to as “drafting our daughters.”

The U.S. military has not drafted anyone since the Vietnam War, and defense officials have repeatedly said they have no intention of moving away from the all-volunteer force.

For the “Woke” military, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn of 18th century press gangs used to fill the ranks for the globalists.

At this point it’s NO to having my son join up, and NONONO to my daughter. But until recently we traditionally SO respected the military.

BTW, not the radar is beeping so to speak, meaning the Canadians are allowing face tatoos, we drop the diploma etc. Not that the gates of the military are opening to MS 13 and anyone else; what could go wrong with Fed sanctioned gang bangers with really great weapons?
