[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If women can serve in the Israeli army, and both genders are required to do so, American women can participate in the selective service. This is called true equality. [/quote]

This argument is ridiculous. Only a few people who have posted here suggest that women shouldn't register. Only 13.4% of the American male population has ever served in the military. So much for your chest thumping.[/quote]

Yes. Most Americans currently don't serve in the military. But the existence of the selective service at all means the remotest possibility that he draft can be reinstated, even if it is very unlikely. If young men always have their possibility hanging over heir heads, equality for women and the opening of all combat roles (which was pushed by feminists mind you) means women now have to contribute in the unlikely possibility of the draft. It is symbolic.

I believe in a war effort there will be plenty for young women to do. Dig trenches, collect intelligence data, patrol
Borders, distribute goods in logistics. It's not just about strength, and that is true equality. So no I am not chest thumping.

For the poster that was rambling about caring for elderly and whatever, he selective service impacts people from ages 18 to 30, we will have many other older people capable of carting out those roles. [/quote]
