The House on Tuesday night passed a $768 billion defense bill, negotiated between both parties and both chambers, by a vote of 363-70.
The National Defense Authorization Act would boost pay by 2.7% for servicemembers, overhaul the military justice system and update diversity training requirements.
In a win for conservatives, a provision expanding the draft to include women was dropped from the compromise measure, despite being included in both the Senate and House versions of the NDAA and earlier bipartisan support for the provision.
An effort to scrap decades-old war authorizations was also left off the final measure.

Good. You won't see Biden making those lying claims about military pay that Trump did. FYI, Obama's administration did them. But again, Trumpkins fell for the lie.

Just read that the item to require women to register for the draft has been removed.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - I agree brother Chip. I firmly believe that women are exceptionally capable and ever bit equal to the task as men.

3/4ths of a trillion dollars give or take 20 or 30 billion, do you know how crazy that must sound to someone in a foreign country working for 100 dollars a month.
