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?

Selective Service and registration should be ended.

They should be required just like the male population and the reason is a male that fails to register disqualifies himself for Federal Student Loans but yet females are not held to the same standard.

I happen to agree with this.

Register, for sure.

It seems only fitting.  Especially now with women taking on active roles in combat.

I don't see why not.

They keep talking about gender equality...Same PT standards (don't lax the current standards either) and make them sign up for the Selective Service...
