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.

a. The U.S. is preparing for war, and this cannot be good news

b. transwomen are still men lol

what the heck though. Women should be up there too with registering.

What gives?

This isn't WW1 where everyone is physically down in the trenches. There are so many more hi-tech, less physical/more cerebral positions in our Military now.

"Do Your Part! Become a Citizen!" ;p

Your linked article that this was policy before the Biden Administration. It also said congress is looking to include females in registering for the draft yet Biden signed the National Defense Authorization Act without that stipulation.

Lets just require both male and female to register then we wont have to worry about transgender this or transgender that.

Military service is not for everyone. I will say the all volunteer military sounds the best.

That appears to make the most sense!

Well, is keeping our freedom for everyone? I'm guessing those for which the military isn't "for", expect others to do the grunt work, while they sit back and enjoy.

Having been in the military as a woman in times past, I can say that the all volunteer military leaves a lot to be desired. My oldest son is a Colonel stationed in Korea, my husband was in the Navy, my dad and uncles were drafted, cousins joined, etc., but this was when there was more of a patriotic feeling toward the country and our freedoms.

With what Biden has been doing to our military, along with trying hard to get us involved with war to detract from his incompetence and trying to break the economy and "put us in line", volunteering to sign up for that isn't going to be a good plan.

I think Biden and the evil behind him are treating the military like crap with the intention of trying to, and this idea was already out there before, allow illegal aliens to get citizenship through signing up for the military. We DO NOT want this to happen. We do not want a military full of people that we have no idea who they are, and we don't want to endanger the lives of our citizen soldiers by having a bunch of non or barely English speaking people working beside them.

I do think with women's rights/equality (which I totally want with the exception of abortion as a right), there comes responsibilities, and those include the draft if we return to that.

I see your point and I mostly agree.

I will just say that I am glad my brother and my fiance are no longer in the Marine Corps. I don't think they will be happy in today's military. In my opinion, There are a lot of people who are ill suited to the military way of life and they shouldn't be there at all.

If you change your birth certificate to "male" then you are right up there with the rest of the MEN for a draft
