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?

I find it interesting that so far there's been no female opinion in the 26 days this question has been posted, while the majority of the male opinion is absolutely require women to register.

It is an interesting thing indeed that most males say yes. However Sir, we only made it 24 days without female responses. SGT Johnson and unless I've chosen the wrong Marine in the picture, CPL Sakowicz have commented. They are they only 2 females thus far. I do find it odd that more females have not commented up to this point. I actually thought most of the responses would come from female service members.

Yes I do believe that women should have to register for the draft.
I say this because more and more female service members are trying out for and being accepted into what was traditionally an all men’s field such as special forces, pilots Armour tank commanders etc.
For these reasons, especially in this day and age of equality females should be required to register for the draft.

I guess that might make sense but I guess I might be more old fashion and say no. I do believe everyone can benefit from a hitch in the military.

It should go away entirely. If we didn't need to enact after 9/11 then we don't need it all.

Absolutely! Women wanted combat, and they got it. Great day for women's rights and equality. Now how about equality for men? Currently, men that don't register can't get a Federal job, Federal grants, or Federal tuition assistance or loans. If they have full access to the military, they should have full responsibility as well.

To me - as long they have valued skills and not only are not seen as someone who would hold back a unit. Well I've found women to be excellent as students in the art of smoke-sticks and when taught to look at a cardboard silhouette and imagine a MRI to pick spots - esp since that group size can grow 50% easily under streess. That women's advantages were recognized and become trusted as those who would protect their buddies too. I received training in High Risk and Protective Detail and imagine how normal appearing a couple sent ahead to scout choke points would be (therefore more effective). One can also create qualification personality inventories. I've lots of friends who were the ones who chased Bin Laden through caves and I think I'd be trusted on the six - in my bubble targets are targets or sandwich meat to carve - zero emotional twitch - yet I revere life and would easily assist a friend or even sacrifice myself for those I care about - Check out what the USMC Combat Hunter program discovered about people who have experienced evil or lived in dangerous neighborhoods - the say something's not right. You've got a life-multiplier. :) Proud of all of you and I'm confident that soldiers will be assigned to tasks/missions benefiting by the differences.

p.s. We have a huge bloc of voters now (I'm not limiting 'voters' to women) who not only base decision making on their emotional state (current research) and that makes them extremely vulnerable to manipulation. When I say manipulation I mean by this any entertainment industry form of media including social media w/o an awareness or ability to cross check even w/o having to even drive to the library. It's passive learning and all are perceived as authorities. I believe that we need more women in this country who have been trained and experienced enough to know that firearms are simply tools. We need more in whatever positive and productive role they play as soldiers who know what lies beyond our walls and moats...let alone that we have walls and moats and that the world is not a fantasy created by politicians and the entertainment industry. I'm concerned about for the good people here and the protections we've and our decendents have been given to enjoy life. whew. I could be a speech ghost writer...
