If women are capable of serving in combat roles, then why aren't they part of the draft?

And we have yet another flyby...

 

Isn't that what you're proposing?

 

non sequitur

 

I do think that was part of it. Look at when it was started again, early 80s when we were still in the midst of the cold war.

But that is just my own personal opinion.

 

So you still think putting someone on pedestal means that you are looking down at them.

Well, I tried to help. But one cannot make the horse drink the water

 

So Australia also doesn't include women in conscription/draft? Yet here you are whining about the US not including women. How....hypocritical of you

 

Length of war can also prove to have a need for drafting. But as we found out during Vietnam war our military is better off when it's a volunteer "army"

 

That is the direction we are going. It started with restrooms.

I can't read minds, so only they know. I believe that they believe it.

 

I don't think that's where we are headed. But if so, so what. As long as the door can be locked.

I didn't ask you to read minds. I asked what you are aware of and know about.
Transgenders don't just believe it, they live it.

 

Since a woman can operate a weapon as well as a man, why not go full equality?

 

I'm pretty sure women have nothing to do with not being part of the draft. Look to overly protective men who have decided women shouldn't be drafted.

 

Do you think they should register?

 

Well of course. I certainly didn't say that length had nothing do to do with it, but don't you think that SCALE is more significant?

How so?

 

Nor MEN!

 

What's wrong with when it was started again?

 

So there’s no provisions for conscription during times of war?

 

You're wrong, and I provided sources proving you wrong. Australia drafted men the same time as the United States.

 

I'm talking about NOW! Do you seriously think that I'm asking why women weren't registered/drafted one thousand years ago?

 

if women want to be in combat MOS's then I'm sure they also want to be in the draft which includes registering. Maybe you should be directing your questions towards women?

 

Australia has had the draft since 1903, and it's still on the books. Women have never been a part of it. How do you expect to debate me over my country's history and domestic policy when you show such flaming ignorance about your own?

 

Yeah, but the draft wasn't exclusively for combat roles was it?

 

The point of different between the two countries, is the existence of the US's Selective Service System which is active as of right now, means that it is much more of a relevant matter for America. We in Australia, are simply not thinking about future wars and the draft which could occur, whereas the US is.

 

You should really study Australian history and domestic policy before you dive into ours. Wouldn't want you to get more confused than you already are...

 

Actually, the Aussies already have the info on file - registration isn't required.

Someone has already said that the draft wasn't exclusively for combat roles. Are they wrong?
