Should women be subject to Selective Service requirements?

[Rey C.]

Now that women have access to the same opportunities in the military as men, including combat roles, should they be subject to Selective Service (draft) requirements?

If not, why not?

 

[Supafly]

I am afraid you have to elaborate on what exactly that is supposed to mean in practice.

Just plain out:

The same or a similar general draft as in Israel, as an example?

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

Asshat, there's no draft in Israel. Service is compulsory there.

Selective service is like the shittiest lottery you can win. But there's no draft here. But should wymyn be required to do what men have done? Sure. It's just the punch in the face feminists need.

 

[Straight Shooter]

Yes. If Congress were to ever establish the draft, that means the shit has hit the fan and at that point it's all hands on deck..men and women.

 

[Elwood70]

Absolutely.


Also, there's no draft here.... anymore.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

Yes. If Congress were to ever establish the draft, that means the shit has hit the fan and at that point it's all hands on deck..men and women.

The only think that's gonna help you, when the shit has hit the fan, are lawyers, guns, and money.

1. There is a sort of draft there. Read for yourself:

2. I was well aware that the USA do not have a mandatory draft.

Yes

Gender equality is both ways. It means applying the very same things to both men and women, not cherry-picking the pleasant things that apply to men and ask for thm to apply to women as well but refusing to apply the unpleasant things in return.

I'm only speaking about the registration requirements that (as of now) only apply to men

.

What it means for males who do not register with Selective Service:

Register to be Eligible for Benefits and Programs Linked to Registration —

A young man who fails to register with Selective Service may be ineligible for opportunities that may be important to his future. He must register to be eligible for federal student financial aid, state-funded student financial aid in many states, most federal employment, some state employment, security clearance for contractors, job training under the Workforce Investment Act, and U.S. citizenship for immigrant men.

STUDENT FINANCIAL AID

Men, born after December 31, 1959, who aren't registered with Selective Service won't qualify for federal student loans or grant programs. This includes Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), Direct Stafford Loans/Plus Loans, National Direct Student Loans, and College Work Study.

CITIZENSHIP

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) makes registration with Selective Service a condition for U.S. citizenship if the man first arrived in the U.S. before his 26th birthday.

FEDERAL JOB TRAINING

The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) offers programs that can train young men seeking vocational employment or enhancing their career. This program is only open to those men who register with Selective Service. Only men born after December 31, 1959, are required to show proof of registration.

FEDERAL JOBS

A man must be registered to be eligible for jobs in the Executive Branch of the Federal Government and the U.S. Postal Service. Proof of registration is required only for men born after December 31, 1959.

Security clearance background investigations will verify whether or not men are in compliance with federal law; thus, men who are required to be registered with the Selective Service System will be verified of their Selective Service registration status for security clearances, as well as for some contractors.
Penalties for Failing to Register

Failing to register or comply with the Military Selective Service Act is a felony punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 or a prison term of up to five years, or a combination of both. Also, a person who knowingly counsels, aids, or abets another to fail to comply with the Act is subject to the same penalties.

If a man fails to register, or provides Selective Service with evidence that he is exempt from the registration requirement, after receiving Selective Service reminder and/or compliance mailings, his name is referred to the Department of Justice for possible investigation and prosecution for his failure to register as required by the Act. For clarification, if a man is exempt from registering with the Selective Service System, his name is not forwarded to the Department of Justice. The federal law stipulates that names are to be submitted to the Department of Justice annually.

The more immediate penalty is if a man fails to register before turning 26 years old, even if he is not tried or prosecuted, he may find that some doors are permanently closed.

that. until social engineering liberals in charge make sure the outcomes are equal by lowering standards.

and as far as the poll goes, just the women who want to be.

There's plenty of those who are thankful they don't have fight in wars.

With a U.S. population of 300+ million they shouldn't have to.

We're beyond the age of storming beaches and cannon fodder.

If Ace Hunter ^ wasn't leading the most elite fighting force in the world, he'd have been the 4th member of the Bee Gees. Either way, he was destined for greatness.

I asked this question to someone I know and he brought up an interesting point. Being that we live in a time when you can basically pick your gender based on how you feel that day, what would prevent an 18 year old biological male from identifying himself as a female and legally taking a pass on Selective Service registration? And wouldn't an 18 year old biological female, who identifies as a male, be legally subject to Selective Service registration??? :dunno:

I'm not trying to put too fine a point on this. But given that some people wake up in the morning, only to play search & destroy with matters of sexism (real, perceived or fantasy), I find it very interesting that this topic has received so little attention in the media and in political circles. Even here, only a few people are willing to discuss it. The so called wage gap, that has been seized upon as a PC topic du jour, is not actually so clear cut or explainable. But as a matter of outright government mandated sexism, this one seems a slam dunk to me.
