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?

For me women have always been in a position that would have them defend themselves. When I was in Afghanistan,we had female soldiers there.
If there is an attack,what evacuate the female Soldiers then prceed. I think not.
I am sure that there are people that do not want that kind of equality

I respect your opinion on this but I disagree because if we really look at it are we being fair to men? Equal treatment, why not? The Army is all about Equal Opportunity, I wonder if a male Soldier could file an EO complaint?

The Army is ran by politicians that want to be re-elected.
There is too many people that have men and women in a predetermined roll.
What should be and what is, is two different thoughts. I even had a woman tell me that fighting the war is a man's job.
I have women give me a dirty look when I say women should be subject to the same requirements subject to registration for the DRAFT

Yes. Equal requirements and standards are needed in combat position, which includes registering for the selective service.

IMHO: Yes. Now that all restrictions have been removed for service in the military, the requirement to register with the selective service system should now be gender neutral.

Since Secretary of Defense Ash Carter has announced that all the services have to open all infantry and other combat jobs to women I see no reason to limit Selective Service registration to only males...
