Should women be required to register for the draft?

I find it an equitable solution. Women can contribute a lot to the military.

Absolutely yes.

SGT (Join to see) people lose sight of what The selective service system is. It is a means to mobilize the nation for total war. If we are in a total war, we will need every able bodied (or close enough) person not only for combat arms formations, but also Sustainment, and combat support. We will be about to burn through the reserves and national guard as well. They'll also have to figure out how we protect the homeland like disaster relief, hurricanes and wild fires can happen during wartime. man the train/equip pipeline, likely by geezers on retirement like me. Manning the strategic Sustainment enterprise. No one ever thinks through that civil institutions will have to continue like police, fire, food production, energy, transportation, and some semblance of a civilian economy to fill basic needs.

If the situation is WWII 1944 manpower shortage level of dire, I understand my daughters will be called if national survival is on the line. But you better believe I will be roaming the streets with an essential oils seeking, cheba sniffing hippie stick impressing man-buns into the service. We can not allow free riders. If people report for induction that are out of shape, piss hot, or have a medical shortfall, we need to find them something for them to do. It can't be the bullet train to exemption. We will likely have to have MFTs turned into an MOS and have physical conditioning gulags to,prepare the out of shape to train.

Just because you are registered, we don't have to call you. But the chance has to Be there.

I answered in another forum to the shortfalls of the current SSS. Some cite that the antiquated system can't keep up with people moving etc. we may need to change how you register. While addresses change, people are slavishly tied to their cell phone and social media. Believe me, if First Command Bank can find me within minutes of PCS arrival somewhere when even my own parents don't know where I am, I think we can figure it out. We need to get past the circa 1865 letter in the mail. At the end, if you are called for induction and do not appear, bench Warrant. Problem solved.
