There have been attempts by the Left over these many decades, since the days of Jimmy Carter, to reinstitute the draft. Make no mistake, they NEVER take credit for calling for the draft, nor do they ever admit to writing legislation that pushes the reinstitution of a draft.
In a hilarious example, back in 2003, Charlie Rangel, noted far-Left Democrat in the US House of Representatives for New York (a 15-year politician from Harlem at that time already and famous for not having paid taxes…go figure) had introduced legislation to reinstitute the draft.
By the following morning, after having done all the Fake News Industrial Complex shows, Rangel (through reporters) went from introducing the legislation to a politician who was trying to stop George W. Bush from killing our children!
Yes, it’s true. In the span of only a few days, the DNC and the FNIC had attempted to convince the entire voting public that George Bush had asked for the draft to be reinstituted so that he could send more kids off to war in Iraq and Afghanistan! You cannot make this stuff up. Rangel was even asked if women would be included in this draft, but he softly deflected and waddled on his way back to the Swamp.
Now, the Pentagon has issued a report that suggests we stick with the mandatory Selective Service registration requirements for young men who are 18-25 years old, but adds that they believe young women should be added to that registration kick as well!

By all means, they want to be treated equal, so sign up.
THE ONLY REASON WHY WE GO TO WAR IS OVER THE PETRODOLLAR !!

Why not? Military service has standards, you have to be intelligent and healthy, both physically and mentally. A lot of people won’t meet the minimum standards. Those that do will have a wide range of options for service, they need people in support roles not just infantry troops. Women are quite capable, why shouldn’t they be subjected to the discipline of training and reap the rewards of the military experience?
We have a better army when it is volunteer! Most are not loyal to our national pride to serve like they do in Israel! Draft just brings the country and the military down!
Why Te men are not required to sign up!
As long as consideration is given to the dependents. Can’t abandon kids with deployment.
They wanted equal rights they got them
Yeah Linda , I see how it works, I’m 75 years old and as I said no military for anyone unless they want it and no I’m not for women’s lib, but if you are go for it
We can agree.
