Yes. If you are going to demand "equal rights", you must be prepared to accept "equal responsibility".
Some women want the "right" to serve in combat roles; infantry, artillery, submarines, aircraft, etc.
OK, fine, let them, IF they are physically qualified.
Yes, they should be required to sign up for Selective Service ("the draft").
Agreed-equal is equal. With equal rights comes equal responsibilities. Make all the physical and jobs identical.
No, but I don't think women should be in the military other than Administrative and Healthcare roles. Women in other roles, especially combatant roles are more trouble than it is worth when it comes to combat effectiveness.

You see this is why some of you cannot be taken seriously.
A poster expressed an opinion, you threw a tantrum.
what about the non-combat units in the military? aren't some non-combat military jobs also potentially life-threatening positions? the military isn't all boots on the ground.
we went to an open house at the military base located in austin a few months ago. there were numerous helicopters, drones, trucks, planes, etc. displayed at the event along with the men and women on active duty who maintained them, flew them, drove them. Most of the soldiers told us they had been deployed at least once to Afghanistan. the men and women we talked to were very impressive, smart, dedicated young soldiers!
The point (at least mine) was directed to drafting females for combat or at least front line infantry units....as support staff, yes, there would be much less of an issue about their capability to serve or perform in those functions...BUT, we were referring to females in military combat roles and the fallacies/delusions that go along with that fantasy.

That's the whole point..a large majority if not mostly all would NOT be physically qualified unless standards were relaxed enough to get them to pass...which most assuredly would happen in order to please the agendas but wind up weakening the military units. You can't have one without affecting the other.
Even the "best of them" female applicants...as stated before, the 2 who tried out to be Rangers, needed to be helped and giving special advantages in order to pass (which, if held to the same standards as males, they DID NOT but were heralded as doing so) and those 2 are not representative of what you'd be getting with 99.9% of female applicants/draftees.
Yes. Men and women who are eligible should be asked to sign-up for the draft. Now let me clarify that being asked to sign-up for the draft is one thing and saying "yes" or "no" upon being asked is another thing.

it's too late now.
since 2015 women are allowed to serve in almost (if not all) positions in the armed forces now.
so yes, as the matter of principal women should sign up for SSS when they turn 18 just like any male

there isn't a non-combat unit in modern conflict.
I was an infantryman in Iraq. Our primary duty at that time was to provide convoy security to a distro company (whose MOS is not considered as combat armed). If our convoy is ambushed, those truck drivers/supply clerks from distro platoon better pick up their guns and fight alongside infantrymen

The problem is some women (not all women) want equal rights when it suits them. They also want to be treated differently when it suits them. We as a society placate to them.
