Senate approves equal rights for women...and responsibilities.
As I recall Hillary was against equal rights for women while her husband was a strong supporter of equal frights.
Well ladies you are now close to being first class citizens a well deserved promotion if NOW doesn't screw it up for you again.
College Money? Government Job Sign right here! Congratulations you went from draftee to volunteer when needed status. And notice no limitations any and all jobs are open to you... depending on where assigned you might well get to drive a tank in combat.
Regular Army I was and still am against the draft. It's the sign of a despotic government living in fear to have such a tool on hand. Draftees were more trouble than they were worth to be honest though some turned out first rate.
So...do you think Humpty and Dumpty either one will turn down the offer?
Hillary being anti women will argue against it of course. She wants them safe for Bill's staff.
Trump.. who knows.
But remember it's the fascist socialist left that just past this measure. Let's find out how many Rinos and how many of the 15 that voted against suspending civil rights are still on which side.

They had it correct in WWII where women were in a separate service. They are fine for support roles but should NEVER be deployed into any combat area. I know that they have been for many years, and that they have done honorable service. That does nothing to offset the simple biological differences, which can put fellow service members in harms way.
I served from 86 - 91 and had women in my unit. Invariably they would be assigned a task and be unable to complete the task for which males would have to come behind and pick up the slack. Additionally the Army, or at the very least my unit, always rotated the females out every 2 days for a shower when we were in the field; whereas the males NEVER got rotated back for showers. I fully understand the hygienic reasons and differences between males and females but this does nothing to address the effects that this has on morale in a long term deployment.
The ONLY way that I will ever change my mind about women in the military is if ALL mention of sex is removed from ALL military regulations. Everything from physical fitness test through to hygiene opportunities. Soldiers would have to be treated completely sexless.
While I would then withdraw my objections about women serving, I would strongly oppose that happening as I firmly believe that God made the differences between men and women for a reason and we are wrong with the direction we are heading as a society in this regard.
Equal Opportunity, my a$$.
I play soccer with a woman, and she is the one of, if not the highest skilled player we have. Not as fast as most of the guys. Not as strong as most guys. Can't kick as far as some guys, but everyone wants her on their team, and there is no question she could complete any baseline requirement.
2. The military just spent a ton of money coming up with ways to 'accommodate certain cultural and biological differences. So most of those questions have been addressed.
3. The answer is either or. Either the entire draft system should be jettisoned and banned. My opinion as a regular professional soldier now retired) OR it should be completely equal unless it openly states mmmm for example certain women are exempted as national resources for breeding purposes. I hope that poured gas on your fire.
4. It does address pregnancy under the new regulations but does not state how that improves national defense.
5. Whatever is done must elevate women, like it or not, to first class citizenship no matter what Hillary and NOW think to the contrary. They should not be allowed to turn their backs on their sisters. nor should the rest of us do the same. But like the Quakers they should not be exempt from responsibilities as a special group.

but it is of necessity a limited place; ignoring all the
biological facts of women's not being as strong as men physically,etc., is bound to have a detrimental effect on the strength of the armed forces and the safety of the nation.
voluntary servitude.--Also, I do not think it is right
to put women in combat (unless it were absolutely necessary as a last resort), even if they go voluntarily. It is just a fact that women are generally not as physically strong as men;
they wouldn't be able to do the job in hand-to-
hand combat, and the nation's safety should not
be put at risk in that manner.--Not that I have any experience with actual combat, although I
once was in the Navy, though only as a 4-by-10
Reservist.
Don't get too bent out of shape, y'all. Old Dino's tongue is stuck in his toothy cheek.
Wonder how the "Safe Spacer's" are gona survive this one...I would love to be a drill Sargent now.
"McCain countered that including women in the draft was a matter of equality."
Saying its a matter of equality is no excuse for passing a law that forces Americans to die for the state. Clearly McCain is still suffering from dementia. The other 84 senators who voted to approve this barbaric law have no excuse.
"Rand Paul of Kentucky, filed an amendment that would have gotten rid of the draft altogether, but it too failed to get traction."
Once again, the statists betray the people who elected them even with an obvious choice to favor good over evil.
Wonder what Gary Johnson will say.
They can draft my 12 1/2 year old Golden Retriever. She requires 21 hours of r and r a day. Oh And she panics at thunder or fireworks requiring a safe place..the other three hours she eats does her business and chases some rabbits then begs for belly rubs.
"Why did the left abandon democratic principles?"
You must study the 1860-1890 period to find the answer.
So this is not a case of women per se in the military but equal rights for women in all the responsibilities of citizenship.
Nice thing is nothing is denied. They may be assigned to or ask to be assigned to any part of the military. Including Infantry, Armor, Artillery etc. Not just Commander-In-Chief.
In one respect it's about time women were not longer treated as second class citizen. In the other why do we still have a military draft at all?
Is the government that afraid of their various chickens coming home to roost.
So the term no more cannon fodder takes on new meaning a step up I suppose in some peoples minds from 'baby factories.'
In 1776 it was taken for granted men would fight and women would provide the fighters. My how times have changed.
85 percent of the Senate all Rinos voted to suspend civil rights 87% of the same Senate voted to give women equal rights. Wonder how the house is going to shake out the votes. More Demo's but then they've always been anti civil rights. We'll have to wait ut I'm betting it's not time yet for women to be first class citizens.
Would it be murder? Of course not. Sanctioned killing by the State is a number of things executions for one but even the Christian Bible states God reserves to the State to the right to kill in it's defense.
My problem isn't with women or with war obviously and as an infantry soldier with no part of that job description BUT the founding fathers did by not mentioning them reserve women to rovide the following generations. Still ...aren't they worth more than just being baby factories? Which is the most insulting to someone who is relegated to the second class of citizenship and not only by the choice of others. In the Clinton days the womens movement chose to turn their backs on the idea of equal rights.
Thorny problem that may be knottier than one first assumes.
Several decades ago, the fight against the draft was based mostly on the ninth amendment. The fight was nearly won but the desire to have slaves by part of the population ended in a special conscription law which could be used to provide more cannon fodder to make congress persons think that they are solving a problem.
PerSON! PerSon? Is there a PerDaughter? I don't THINK so.
Which reminds me when you enter a dining establishment or eatery of some sort and see a name tag starting with Wait Person get up and leave and explaint, "I don't wish to wait I would rather have service."
Do you wonder why these idiots with terminal case of stupids are looked down on so much?
Well Stupid is as stupid does and a terminal case of the stupids is cured only by someone with a Degree in Undertaking.
Remimds me of the 'It' at the my old University of Wisconsin in Madison who a few years ago made a stink that caused all kinds of trouble for an instructor who was stupid enough to use the word 'denigrate' because it thought that it somehow dissed the un-pinkish skinned.
Wasn't there someone who said something about bringing down a society by messing up the language?
