Guess they're not really women after all and trans men aren't really men.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Transgender women must still register for the military draft, according to the U.S. Selective Service.
"US citizens or immigrants who are born male and changed their gender to female are still required to register," the Selective Service states on its official website.
Individuals who were born female, but identify as male do not need to register for the military draft, per the government.
The policy is not new, but gained attention after the Selective Service tweeted at parents on Friday, reminding them that their sons must register.
True, only if enough people volunteer to serve in the Armed Forces. Since nobody is volunteering anymore than the government/military must go to plan B, which is to select individuals to serve in the Armed Forces.
My only gripe with this is that Selective Service registration should include every single American, regardless of their sex or a lack of one, which would be used to get out of their responsibilities to the country. Since they changed the policies about women serving in the Infantry and on tanks, than all women should be subject to a draft.
Women are always screaming how equal they are to men, so if that’s true than why should they get special treatment? Wouldn’t that be sexist, if women are excluded from being called up for military service?
And, yes, I did serve, 13.5 years on Active Duty and over 17 years in the Reserve.
So, I wonder why the powers that be have not added women to the registration requirement.
"A" may be true, but it has nothing to do with Selective Service. I registered the second week of the July 1980 registration and as far as I know, was never called up.
"B" is, of course, true.
Same here. But then after serving in the Army with my Honorable Discharge papers and DD214 I was turned away from an interview for a job because I forgot to bring a draft registration card. At the time it was my biggest cost from the do something law passed after the Soviets invaded Afghanistan meanwhile my big brother lost his shot at competing in the Olympics
