With the fight for equality in the military and the recent decision by the Army to open combat arms MOS's to women in the Army, being so much in the news and discussion, do you think that women of the required Selective Service age group should be made to register as their male counterparts are?

My opinion, women want more equal rights to men.
Require them to sign up.
So if there is another draft they are selected under the same criteria as men.

I do believe in equal rights but I couldn't stomach the thought of my sisters, wife, or hopefully future daughter ever being drafted to fight in what would probably be a bloody and deadly war. This is an issue that Im sure many females (whom I do respect) would call me sexist and thats fine, I will be a sexist if it meant the women in my life that I love never had to endure what I did in Afghanistan or worse. I know many women endure stuff in the military today but that is/was their own decision.
Truly sorry if this sounds offensive to anyone.

Now that women are sometimes accepted in front line rolls. That upon turning 18 they should register with Selective Service.
Most women have NOT asked to serve in direct combat positions. Most women do not subscribe to the radical feminist agenda that supports serving in these positions either. Military service should remain voluntary for women even in time of war. American industry will need women to support the manufacturing to support a major war and an anchor for families in time of crisis.
I really don't see why anyone is expected to register. There won't be a draft. They are trying to get rid of us all. That being said, it should be all or none. Just my opinion.

Absolutely. We are a very diverse society now. We are all citizens and we all should have the drive and heart to protect this country. Regardless of gender!
I a bit torn on this but i would have to say no the should not under current army regs because it is my understanding the intent for the majority of drafted men is for them to serve in the infantry as women cannot serve in the infantry i think it would be allot of innessisary paperwork and effort and money spent where it does not need to be. Sorry if i offended and women vets that was not my intent
since women want to join combat arms then they need to sign up for selective service
all is fair

We have equal rights, not equality. No two men are equal let alone men and women being considered equal. If everyone were equal sport competitions would all end in draws and everyone would graduate from college with very similar grades. Equal rights and opportunity are very different than equality. If we try to legislate equality we destroy liberty.
