With women in combat roles, a federal court rules the male-only draft unconstitutional

[Madmallard]

A federal judge in Texas has declared that the all-male military draft is unconstitutional, ruling that "the time has passed" for a debate on whether women belong in the military.

The decision deals the biggest legal blow to the Selective Service System since the Supreme Court upheld the draft in 1981. In Rostker v. Goldberg, the court ruled that the male-only draft was "fully justified" because women were ineligible for combat roles.

But U.S. District Judge Gray Miller ruled late Friday that while historical restrictions on women serving in combat "may have justified past discrimination," men and women are now equally able to fight. In 2015, the Pentagon lifted all restrictions for women in military service.

weeeellll, I don't think anybody believes that, not really, but this makes sense. They should be forced to register.

I’m personally not happy about this. Call me old fashion but I think it’s more important for women to have kids, hold down the house while the men are overseas.

"You're old fashioned."

I agree to a point but this is what they wanted and they got it.
I think parents raising kids is a good idea and I don’t think it’s a good idea to have women in combat. Women in combat come back and commit suicide at an extremely high rate.

I'm pretty sure there will be exemptions if they already have kids or they have one in their belly.

Sign em up ship all the feminist to the front lines.

How’s that feminism working out...

 

[Exonautic]

so in practice, does this mean women will now be required to sign up for the selective service system or does something else have to occur before that, because i've seen a lot of judicial rulings and bills that are being put out as some great progress but then find out nothing actually changed, some overpayed jackoff in a bigger chair then the rest of us just wrote some things down on paper.

 

[Calculon]

Good.

Im not completely on board.
I did almost a decade in the Army.
Mostly with the 75th RR.
I am 6ft, 220lbs and extremely fit.
I was unstoppable in my opinion.
If you cannot drag my dead weight ass 100 yards, you are unfit for combat..
Now, at 47 years old I can still hang with guys half my age and feel like im 25.
There is a feeling a man gets when faced with death.....a controlled rage.
Its hard to explain but I hope if
A woman expieriences it she can deal with it. I have not met one yet.

Your two statements are not mutually exclusive. While I generally agree that it's more important to hold down the homestead while men are out demonstrating their toxic masculinity, I won't say that I'm not happy about this.

In fact, I am very happy about this. It deals a solid blow to the third-wave feminist ideals that are discriminatory against men and destroying families.

Hopefully they’ll wake up
