If women are assuming roles in combat units, will the draft include women?

If soft emotionally driven beta-males can serve than so can everyone else.

Should, but you never know these days. Equal has different meanings.

Don't you think it should? Even if women are not going into combat roles there are plenty of non combat jobs . Look at the amount of women that served during WW2, most of our allies were drafting women. WW2 was a significant time for women, not just military service but moving into jobs that had been strictly male before. This is another big break out time for women in the military. So all things being equal, shouldn't they be subject to the draft?

Let's hope we never have to find out.... darn good question though... I would vote against it... We allowed women in the combat service to applaud them the equal rights they deserve, but I would be against entering them into the draft, but them, I am against entering boys into the draft as well... I don't think we will ever need to have another draft....

It certainly should. Fair is Fair. There should at this point be ONE PT Standard, One Height and Weight Standard and ONE standard for everything.

It should, but what should be is not always what will be. Though this does remind me of what one of my female captains once said, "Everyone wants equal rights until it punches you square in the teeth".

It certainly oils the gears.

With the implementation of more unisex army standards it certainly removes a layer of consideration when that time comes.

This is something I feel women should discuss amongst themselves. If women are equal in the military then they should be equal in the draft. That being said, plenty of women are satisfied with the important role they play in society and have no desire to be a hunter or a killer. Is this kind of equality really what the majority of women want? I personally believe women hold a higher value to society and that men are expendable, so is the ability to fight and serve in combat arms really a move towards equality? I dont think so but that is something for you ladies to decide.

It should. I will use my perspective on fairness in the army. I have said be fair in regards to rewards and unenviable tasks. If women want equal treatment then they should be drafted. I wonder if drafting women will make us look at war differently?

"Women between the ages of 18 and 25 will be required to register for the Selective Service, the system used to draft people into the military in case of a crisis, if the annual defense funding bill that the House is likely to pass this week makes it to President Joe Biden’s desk.

But despite years of pushback against the policy change from conservatives, House Republicans are now largely willing to accept, or even support, the change long sought by Democrats."

"Other conservatives who oppose adding women to the draft do not see the issue as enough reason to oppose the bill.

“The NDAA is never perfect, and this is the case where the good far outweighs the bad,” Indiana Rep. Jim Banks, chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, told the Washington Examiner. “I have daughters, I don’t want them drafted into the military. I want our military to be a volunteer force. But I think those debates are going to continue to occur even after the NDAA goes into effect.”

Republican Rep. Brad Wenstrup of Ohio, who was an Army combat surgeon in Iraq, noted that there are many jobs in the military and details of the implementation matter.

“There are still physical requirements for certain jobs that you have to be able to perform and fulfill,” he told the Washington Examiner. “It doesn't mean that, you know, if there is a draft, a woman necessarily has to go be in the infantry.”"
